The University of Oregon’s Board of Trustees were presented Thursday with a plan for the Marcus Mariota Sports Performance Complex that would expand the first floor of the UO’s Casanova Center — which houses most athletic department offices, with the exception of the football offices, on two floors — to house the 29,000-square-foot Mariota complex.
The board can approve the proposal next week. It will be paid for as a gift by Nike co-founder Phil Knight and his wife, Penny, UO announced.
