OSU: Marine science
building plan changes
among board decisions
be built out over the next
3-5 years as additional fac-
ulty are hired and students
are enrolled as part of the
planned growth of the marine
studies initiative. The future
cost of building out the third
floor is estimated to total
approximately $4.9 million.
On the Corvallis campus,
the Finley Hall renovation
addresses deferred mainte-
nance and capital renewal
needs, including improving
restroom accessibility and
privacy.

The board also approved
modifications to the construc-
tion plan and budget for the
Marine Studies Building at
the Hatfield Marine Science
Center in Newport.
The design of the second
floor of the three-story build-
ing has been modified to
accommodate an open-office
concept, and the third floor
will be shelled out to allow
for future completion as new
programs are developed and
enrollment grows.
The changes bring the
budget to $61.7 million
(including $1 million in con-
tingency funds). That amount
is more than the initial $50
million approved in 2015 but
down $3.2 million from a
year ago, when market con-
ditions and design elements,
including vertical tsunami
evacuation, had pushed the
cost to $64.9 million.
“This fiscally conservative
approach will meet immedi-
ate and near-term academic
and marine studies initiative
program goals while provid-
ing flexibility for the future,”
Ray said.
OSU-paid bonds will
cover the additional $11.7
million. The rest of the fund-
ing will be an equal split
between state-paid bonds and
gifts and grants. The third
floor of the building would

The two-phase project will
take place this summer and
summer 2019 at a total cost of
$10.5 million, which comes
from University Housing and
Dining cash reserves. Over
the work plan, plumbing,
bathrooms, kitchens, fire pro-
tection and lounges would be
upgraded.
“The university combined
two projects into one to max-
imizing savings on fees and
expenses,” Ray said.

groups out of a need for com-
panionship with other artists.
Joanne Burgess, a partner
at Hood Avenue Art Gallery
known for her love of nature
that is reflected in her paint-
ings, has been a member of
the group for over a year.
“I was pretty lonely work-
ing by myself in my studio,”
Burgess said. “I love this
group, it keeps me going,
keeps me learning and keeps
me stretched.”
Tillery agreed, and notes
that he loves the chance to get
together with fellow artists
and just talk.
“As an artist we all spend
many hours in solitude, either
painting in the studio or on
location by ourselves,” Tillery
said. “The camaraderie of the
group is a treasure to me.”
Critique group mem-
ber Katherine Taylor, an oil
painter known for her unique
soulful and luminous style,
started a critique group in
2005 in Bend with Janice
Druian, best known for her
landscapes that capture the
beauty of isolated parts of the
country.
“We both decided to join
Jim’s group because these
are all artists that know how
to speak the art language,”

Let me help you
easily navigate
the process.
Taylor said. “And to me that’s
important. We need to con-
stantly have artists look at our
work and talk about the fun-
damentals of art. It’s a group
that really adheres to the prin-
ciples of fine art.”
Druian said that she could
not live without the critique
group. She requires the art-
ists’ input on certain pieces
of her art because it improves
her work.
Other members of the
group are Clark Berryman,
a retired veterinarian who
considers himself a classical
realist painter of portraiture
and wildlife, oil painter Mike
Wise, and Tina Brockway,
known for her fine pottery.
Gary Cooley, well-known
sculptor, painter and owner of
Gary Cooley Studios on Hood
Avenue, is also an Art Attack
Group member.
“I find this group very
interesting. It lifts your spir-
its, its camaraderie among
friends,” Cooley told The
Nugget. “I think we all learn
from this group and it really
lends support with your own
37
art.”
Perhaps the most ben-
eficial thing about a critique
group is that it builds a com-
munity of artists that are
familiar with each other’s
work, and often end up exhib-
iting work together and shar-
ing resources.
I think we all learn
from this group and it
really lends support with
your own art.
— Gary Cooley
And that is one reason the
group came up with the idea
of having a show for the pub-
lic in Sisters on August 11,
next to Gary Cooley’s gallery
on Hood Avenue.
“It’s an opportunity to
bring our work out for the
public to see, let them all
see us painting live, and get
together and have some fun,”
said Tillery.
