The Pioneer Mother (Eugene, Oregon)

The University of Oregon (UO, U of O or Oregon) is a public research university in Eugene, Oregon. Founded in 1876, the university also has two Portland locations, and manages a marine station, called the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology, in Charleston; and an observatory, called Pine Mountain Observatory, in Central Oregon. The University of Oregon is organized into nine colleges and schools and offers 316 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. Most academic programs follow the 10 week Quarter System. The university is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity" and is a member of the Association of American Universities. Since July 2014, UO has been governed by its own board of trustees. UO's 295-acre campus is situated along the Willamette River. UO student athletes compete as the Ducks and are part of the Pac-12 Conference in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). With eighteen varsity teams, the Oregon Ducks are best known for their football team and track and field program. These two teams are even incorporated into the design of the school's "O" logo. In the summer of 2022, UO hosted the 2022 World Athletics Championships. It was the first time the event was held in the United States. UO's colors are green and yellow.The university has a long and complex relationship with Nike, Inc., and the firm's co-founder Phil Knight. As a consequence of state higher-education disinvestment starting in the 1990s, UO has embraced a "University of Nike" image. Fueled by large investments in athletic infrastructure, this trend has accelerated in recent years. Knight, an alumnus, has advocated for both athletic prominence and increased privatisation of the university, and has donated over $1 billion to UO since the late-1980s, much of it going towards athletics. The school's "O" logo was designed by Nike in 1998 and sports facility projects on campus typically involve both Knight and Nike.

Collier House is a historic landmark building located in Eugene, Oregon, United States. It was built in 1886 by George Collier, a physics and chemistry professor at the University of Oregon, and his two sons to his own design. It was originally built as his residence but was sold to the university in 1893, when it joined University and Villard halls as the third building on the fledgling campus. It lies on the corner of University Street and 13th Avenue. Over the years the Italianate building has served as a dormitory, the university president's residence, the school's library, the faculty club, offices, a meeting space, and a restaurant and pub. As of autumn 2015, the building is used as classroom, office, and performance space by the musicology and ethnomusicology department in the School of Music and Dance.In October 2018, it was announced that the university would be looking to build a new 60,000-square-foot classroom and faculty office building, and was exploring various sites on campus. One was the site of the Collier House, located on the corner of University Street and 13th Avenue. On October 19, the Campus Planning Committee voted unanimously to recommend the current Collier House site as the location of the new classroom building. McArthur Court and the parking lot across the street from Prince Lucien Campbell (PLC) Hall were the other two options. Due to the Collier House being a Eugene historic landmark structure, the university had to approve a new location to move the building to, rather than simply tear it down. On November 27, the Campus Planning Committee voted 9–1 to approve the Gerlinger Hall lawn as the new location for the Collier House. The exact location will be on the Eastern edge of the large lawn, near the intersection of University Street and 15th Avenue. The house will be moved sometime between 2019 and 2021, as construction of the new classroom building is slated to be complete in 2021.
