What You Need to Know
We're heading into the final weekend of the World Athletics Championships Oregon22. This event has brought opportunities to see incredible athletes compete, showcase UO faculty and student research, and discuss national and global challenges.
The university addressed the need to increase gender equity globally in track and field and hosted a forum with USA Track and Field, World Athletics, and Oregon 22. Governor Brown and Second Gentleman Emhoff joined UO faculty and leadership to raise awareness for mental health. While the competition may be ending, the UO community should expect a few remaining signs of the event in the days following.
Parking and Traffic
Peak parking and campus road impacts will continue through this weekend.
Parking alternatives are recommended through the end of the event. We do not recommend having someone drop you off on the restricted roads inside campus boundaries. Carpooling to campus with colleagues is encouraged when possible.
- A LTD bus pass is free to all UO employees. LTD also has park and ride options.
- There are increased opportunities for bike parking including bike valets during the event.
Though greatly reduced, some impacts to roads and parking lots will continue after WCH Oregon22. For parking lot impacts and parking alternatives visit the Transportation Services website. For traffic and neighborhood impacts on campus and around the Autzen Stadium complex visit WCH Oregon22's Know Before You Go webpage.
Campus Delivery Route
Campus delivery vehicles may need to enter campus differently during WCH Oregon22. To access the middle of campus, delivery vehicles should turn right from Franklin Boulevard onto East 13th Avenue and proceed westbound. Then either turn left onto University Street or continue straight on East 13th Avenue and exit on Kincaid Street. A map is available on the Transportation Services website.
Building Access
Remember some buildings may have limited or restricted access during July.
- Some public buildings, such as UO museums and EMU dining venues, will remain open. Check with individual programs or departments about hours, operations, and access before heading to campus buildings this summer.
- Some academic and office buildings, such as the science complex, may only be accessible to students and employees and may require ID card access during regular business hours. Check with the building manager or your supervisor, instructor, or program manager if you have questions about building access.
COVID-19 Prevention
Following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Oregon Health Authority guidelines, Lane County Public Health recommends individuals wear a mask when indoors to prevent COVID-19 due to current local transmission rates.
Wearing a mask indoors when around others is an effective personal strategy for reducing the risk of COVID-19.
