Grayson: $1.5 million from gift
m Continued from Pagel
classrooms, but the history de
partmental office will move into
the area where the law school
dean's office is now, and the eth
nic studies departmental office
will be across the hall, according
to the original project descrip
tion.
The faculty offices on the third
floor will remain intact, but the
library will be converted largely
to offices and a lounge for gradu
ate teaching fellows, as well as
more classrooms.
The fourth floor will also be
renovated, but for now no plans
have been solidified, said Tepfer.
More classrooms or seminar
rooms are a possibility.
There are also preliminary
plans to technologically update
some of the classrooms with
newer, more computerized pro
jection systems.
Portland-based SRG Partner
ship, an architectural firm, was
chosen in July to design the ren
ovation. Tepfer said that specifics
of the contract were still being
worked out.
Tepfer said the total cost of the
project is $3.4 million. Donors
Jeffrey and Susan Grayson, for
whom the building is named, are
expected to provide $1.5 million,
with the rest of the funding com
ing from the state.

nar rooms, one computer lab and a courtroom.
"The building will also be completely wired, which
will enable students to sit practically anywhere and
plug in," Gordon said. "We will also have a video con
ference room where students can share information."
Gordon said the abundance of technology will help
legal education meet the needs of the 21st century.
The new building will have student lounges and
meeting places as well as 'The Commons" which will
be shared by faculty, staff and students alike, Gordon
said.
"Law students spend huge numbers of hours in the
building," she said. "It becomes like a home."
New students who are considering law schools not
only look at the faculty and the teaching, but the facil
ity as well, Gordon said.
"Hopefully we’ve designed a building that is light,
that is comfortable and allows for serious learning as
well as the kind of study groups and informal learning
that happens within law schools," Gordon said.
The Knight Law Center is different from other law
buildings around the country because it is a more stu
dent-centered building, Gordon said. The main focus
is the accommodation of student needs, she said.
There will be an annex of the bookstore added to
the new facility that will provide staples such as cof
fee, pens, paper and folders. Although the School of
Law is incorporating private extensions, Gordon said
she does not feel it will be segregating itself from the
University at all.
“I think having law students being there [the new
building] will definitely extend the campus," Gordon
said. "That was the idea. We wanted to reiterate the
idea of the green quad between buildings, with grass
and trees and things. You don’t just put a building
down and say, ‘Here’s a building.’”
Every parking space the construction and new
building has overtaken, the School of Law will be re
placing around the area and on connecting streets,
she said.
"We’re fond of saying we’re doing the opposite of
the Joni Mitchell song — ‘Take out paradise and put
in a parking lot,”’ Gordon said. ‘‘So, we’re going to
take up some parking and put in hopefully some par
adise.”

Agate Street trees
tested for disease
An American elm tree near
the corner of 15th Avenue and
Agate Street is scheduled for
removal after recently being di
agnosed with Dutch elm dis
ease.
The disease is highly conta
gious and transmitted mostly
by root contact between trees
or by beetles who move from
tree to tree. Infected elms often
have drooping limbs and wilt
ed or yellowing leaves.
According to Eugene’s Pub
lic Works Department, 16 other
campus elms on Agate Street
between 13th and 18th av
enues are being tested for
Dutch elm disease. Results are
expected next week.
The tree scheduled for re
moval and any others found to
be infected will be replaced by
new elm trees.
