A special request from our friends over at facilities: Help Us Create a Vision for the Corvallis Campus
Oregon State is embarking on an 18-month process to develop a physical vision for the Corvallis campus for the next 10 years and beyond. We invite you to take a few minutes to explore and share your thoughts in an interactive survey. Together, we can craft a development strategy that supports an environment that enhances your best OSU experiences, and also leads to a more welcoming and inclusive campus. All responses are anonymous and confidential and will only be used for the purposes of this project—the combined results will be made available as blind responses.
