Ducks Plan New Sports Science Center Named For Mariota

The latest cutting edge facility enhancement for Oregon athletics is designed to improve performance for all UO student-athletes, while honoring the legacy of their most distinguished recent colleague.

On Thursday, the university’s Board of Trustees was presented with documentation of the proposed Marcus Mariota Sports Performance Complex. The enhancement to 29,000 square feet of the Casanova Center’s first floor would refurbish the equipment room while transforming existing locker room and storage space into a state-of-the-art sports science facility.

If approved at next week’s board meeting, construction would begin in January 2016, with the goal of being completed by Sept.
