/ ERB MEMORIAL STUDENT UNION / A new student union and entrance into campus
SERA is leading the renovation and expansion of the Erb Memorial Union (EMU) on UO’s campus. This student center is a prominent gathering space for students, but suffers from outdated spaces and circulation issues, both within the building and in terms of its broader campus context. The goal of the project is to expand the center to provide programs, services and spaces that are engaging to student user groups and that support the university’s academic mission. The renovation will also showcase UO’s commitment to sustainability at all levels, and create an inviting central hearth for the campus.

/ QUINN COLISEUM / For the University and La Grande
SERA is currently working with Eastern Oregon University on the renovation of Quinn Coliseum. Quinn serves as the Arena for intercollegiate basketball and volleyball, locker rooms for outdoor sports, campus fitness center and the home of intramural sports. Quinn’s fitness center is also actively used by the La Grande community and numerous sports camps. Originally constructed in 1957, the existing structure has served the University and region well but is in desperate need of a holistic renovation to meet the needs of a modern university.
