Now open at the University of Oregon, Unthank Hall is a vibrant student life center that is home to 700 undergraduate students, a market hall with 9 dining venues and a new recruitment center that celebrates the university’s history and legacy. Centrally located at the nexus of the existing campus fabric and iconic new athletic facilities, the building is named after DeNorval Unthank Jr., the first African American man to graduate from UO’s School of Architecture and Allied Arts (now the College of Design) and an associate professor at the university from 1965 to 1980. The project is the first phase of the Hamilton & Walton Transformation that will, in all, deliver 1,800 student beds and diverse academic, student life and open space improvements on campus. Stay tuned for more images of Unthank Hall and following phases, now under construction! Designed in association with Rowell Brokaw. 📷: @k7scott

The Equity at Work Mithun R+D effort examines racial equity within built environment design practice. As this second half of the spectrum diagram shows, intangible factors involve trust, belongingness and care. Improving intangible factors is difficult, gradual and requires authentically supportive action. When compared to the employee retention data, intangible cultural factors displayed stronger relationships to predicted retention than tangible cultural factors.

The Equity at Work Mithun R+D effort examines racial equity within built environment design practice. Derived from primary findings, which simultaneously illustrate alignment and discrepancy between respondent subgroups’ workplace perceptions, this spectrum of tangibility arranges cultural factors by their qualitative nature. This helps workplaces know which cultural factors are more easily impacted and which require more time, resources and care. Tangible cultural factors (shown in this image) are the 'low-hanging fruit' of workplace culture improvement. Generally, positive changes to tangible cultural factors are more easily implemented. See the next image for information about intangible factors.
