Board of Trustees panel to finish approval of housing bonds

The Executive and Audit Committee of the University of Oregon Board of Trustees will meet Wednesday, Aug. 11, at 8 a.m. to review and consider final approval on the issuance of UO revenue bonds worth up to $120 million, primarily for the final phases of the UO’s Housing Transformation Project.

The full board of trustees approved the bond issue at its last quarterly meeting in May. Per the board’s directive, the Executive and Audit Committee is now providing final review of the bond rate pricing ahead of the bond sale.

The meeting agenda and materials, as well as a live webcast link, are available on the board’s website.

The bonds will primarily finance phase II and III of the Housing Transformation Project, including the rebuild of Walton Hall, the removal of Hamilton Hall, and the creation of a new large green space at Hamilton Hall’s current location at the corner of East 13th Avenue and Agate Street.

Phase II and III of the project are expected to be complete by August 2024.
