How to Find Us
Thanks to generous support from the Oregon Legislature, Friendly Hall is being transformed into an intellectual hub for students, faculty and staff as they work to make the world a better place. The building will reopen in January 2028. Until then faculty and staff will be housed throughout campus, primarily in Agate Hall and Mac Court.
Center for Global Futures
As part of the generous gift from the Schnitzer family, the Schnitzer School of Global Studies and Languages is launching the Center for Global Futures, an interdisciplinary hub of scholars and practitioners dedicated to understanding, educating about, and preparing for future trends and challenges across our world.
The goal of this center is to not only raise the Schnitzer School’s national and global profile but also foster intellectual conversations on some of the future issues that the world face.
Agate Hall is the temporary home to the Schnitzer School of Global Studies and Languages. The school will return to Friendly Hall on the UO’s Eugene campus following a major renovation as part of the Heritage Renovation Project funded by the state of Oregon. Construction began in late summer 2025.
McKenzie Hall is home to the Yamada Language Center. The Yamada Language Center was founded in 1991 as a way of both centralizing and improving pedagogical and technological support for the 4000+ language teaching faculty and students at the University of Oregon.
The Northwest Indigenous Language Institute supports and strengthens language preservation and revitalization efforts.
