A Few Who Just Did It
John Jaqua Academic Center for Student Athletes has just opened on the campus at the University of Oregon.
The brand new 40,000 square foot academic center for student athletes, named after John Jaqua, a successful attorney, philanthropist and war hero, is an architectural delight oozing with state of the art features, high tech study labs and tributes to former athletes who also excelled at academics.
We are proud of our own Kim Heddinger who has been honored as one of those former athletes who has gone onto successful careers beyond sports. Kim is featured among the likes of Phil Knight, Steve Prefontaine and Bev Smith, to name a few. The display, entitled “A Few Who Just Did It”, is a 3 story wall designed with individual 8″ x 8″ etched oak blocks that includes a brief bio and photo burned into the oak plaque.
