As our students and faculty prepare to arrive on the University of Portland campus to begin the 2022-23 academic year, we want to make you aware of a construction project that will bring temporary changes – and ultimately a new center for design and innovation – to our beautiful Bluff.
On Wednesday, July 27, Skanska, our Portland-based construction partner, will begin installing fencing around the former UP Physical Plant, located between Mehling Hall and the L-P Tennis Center. Demolition of the Physical Plant building will follow, making way for construction of the new Shiley-Marcos Center for Design & Innovation – set to open Spring Semester, 2024.
Important announcements for UP students, faculty and staff during construction:
Fencing:
Parking:
Safety:
As building construction unfolds, our campus community will experience intermittent noise and disruption. We ask for your patience and understanding as our University builds an inclusive hub for creativity and hands-on, experiential learning. Made possible by a generous lead gift from Darlene Marcos Shiley in memory of Donald P. Shiley, the Shiley-Marcos Center for Design & Innovation will become our space for inventors – feeding the imagination and welcoming curious learners from all over the UP campus to intermingle, overlap, and relate in new ways.
