Campus Tours for Community Groups
10 a.m. – 11:30 a.m., Fourth Fridays
Learn about the history, present and future of OSU’s growing university campus in Bend. After a classroom session, you’ll explore campus buildings and their public art, view the expansion site and learn about the innovative work underway to develop Oregon's newest university campus. Formal and informal groups welcome.
For groups of 12-24.
Science Pubs
It's a new era for the popular, 14-year-old series that has been held in venues throughout the region until now. Science Pubs have moved to Edward J. Ray Hall on the OSU-Cascades campus.
Public Art
Public art on campus was commissioned or purchased by OSU-Cascades through the Oregon Arts Commission’s Percent for Art program, or donated to the campus.
Campus Expansion
A 30-year community vision is taking shape. Over the next decades, OSU-Cascades will expand, creating a 128-acre campus for up to 5,000 students.
Net-Zero Campus
Net zero would mean the campus consumes only as much energy as it produces, balances water availability and demand, and eliminates waste sent to landfills.
