9 APRIL 2019 | PAGE 12 CITY OF EUGENE | STEAM PLANT REDEVELOPMENT DESIGN PROPOSAL All of these individuals and organizations will be able to lease flexible desks, studios, or office space and reserve flexible conference rooms and classrooms on an as-needed basis. A portion of the square footage may also be dedicated to makerspaces and/or dry labs for the University of Oregon. This flexible-use model will maximize the ability for the working community to participate in the space and will also be the fiscal foundation that makes the Steam Plant redevelopment project financially feasible. Finally, we are recruiting potential anchor partners for portions of these spaces. The project team is in dialogue with the University of Oregon about a multidisciplinary leadership institute. As University President Emeritus Dave Frohnmayer wrote, “Leadership theory can be taught and learned, and the enterprise is supremely worthwhile.” This leadership institute would establish opportunities for Eugene’s community members to learn leadership, not as an inherent privilege of the few, but as a set of skills necessary for all people to work more effectively together. The Steam Plant redevelopment will be built to succeed long-term. It will be flexible, resilient, and able to adapt over time, as new markets and new demographics emerge. It will be a place to learn and work, designed to bring people together, in a building that inspires them and supports innovation of all flavors.
