On Dec. 2, 2020, the University of Oregon opened the Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact.

Launched in 2016 with a $500 million lead gift from Penny and Phil Knight – the largest ever to a public flagship university – and augmented with $70 million in state bonds and additional philanthropy, the Knight Campus accelerates the cycle of translating scientific discoveries into innovations that improve quality of life for those in Oregon and beyond.
