The new Marcus Mariota Sports Performance Complex will cost Phil Knight $19.2 million, according to a building permit application the University of Oregon filed Tuesday, the Register Guard reports.
UO Athletics announced The Marcus Mariota Sports Performance Complex in September. The Board of Trustees unanimously approved the project on Sept. 10.
The building is a modification of the Casanova Athletic Center, located next to Autzen Stadium. The building will be dedicated to combining sports and science. Some planned facilities that officials have released are 3-D imaging equipment, neurocognitive equipment for studying head injuries and sleeping pods for athletes to take 20 minute naps in.
Phil Knight and his wife Penny are paying for the entire project.
