The document outlines the agenda, process, findings, and next steps of the EMU & SRC Campus Consultation Process. Key findings from focus groups and surveys include:
- Focus group participants wanted more social and study spaces, food options, and activities at the EMU. The SRC was often overcrowded with a lack of amenities.
- Surveys found students most often visited the EMU to eat or study, while employees visited for meetings. The top desired improvements were more student services, computing, and arts/crafts areas.
- Most students and employees felt improving the EMU should be a high or very high priority. Students would use an improved EMU more often.

4. FOCUS GROUPS
Approximately 100 Participants in Focus Groups Held Feb.15th –
17th, 2010
Academics, Legacy, Environment, and Diversity Draw Students
and Employees to UO
Experience Met Most Expectations
EMU has Great Location Central to Campus, but it is Not Always
Inviting, and Difficult to Navigate
Many Opportunities to Improve:
Lounges / Spaces to Study and Socialize
Expanded Food Options with Local / Sustainable Focus
Activity Spaces (Indoor & Outdoor)
Late-Night Activities
Participants Wanted an Active, Vibrant Campus “Living Room”
5. FOCUS GROUPS
SRC is Heavily Utilized by Students, and Employees Would
Like Great Access As Well
Facility is Often Overcrowded and Impacted by General
Users and Instructional Courses.
Several Way Finding Issues Discussed
Areas to Improve:
More Activity Space Overall
Specialized Group Fitness Spaces
Social Amenities (Juice Bar, Lounge, Spa)
More Accessible (Physically and Aesthetically) Facilities and
Equipment
Expanded Outdoor Programs and Spaces

31. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Sustainability is Very Important
EMU is perceived as primarily a service center,
rather than a program centered building
– Crafts Center and Club Sports Center are viewed
positively
EMU is not associated with providing
“something to do all the time”
Ballroom is largest flat floor space available to
students and departments, lacks sufficient
breakout space to become a greater resource
to the entire campus
Catering capability and capacity is lacking,
hinders income potential
Group study spaces are desired, along with
updated technical capacity
32. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Sizeable gains in usage would occur at the EMU
if:
– Food options that are relevant to more than one
day-part, with increased options for on-campus
meal plan users
– Circulation paths and program adjacencies are
created that link and move people through the
building
– Student organization/governance areas are
celebrated and placed in the path of key
circulation junctures
– Greater destination value is achieved by linking
academic, campus and student service priorities
– Outdoor space is make more useable through
design features
33. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Existing programs and services at SRC are
highly valued
SRC is heavily utilized and lacking sufficient
space to meet demand
– Results in over-crowding, limited schedule flexibility,
limits variety of programs and services available
Increased usage would occur through:
– More self-directed options desired in additional to
group fitness
– More square feet, more equipment
– Expanded indoor and outdoor recreational spaces
– Improved spatial relations and adjacencies
– Greater connections to EMU & campus activities
34. NEXT STEPS

Collected, Stakeholder Input, and Campus
