The Memorial Union is the center of campus life. The Union provides a range of meal services and restaurants, conference rooms that may be reserved for faculty meetings or conferences, catering and banquet services, bowling and other recreational programs, a postal substation, and many other facilities. OSU Bookstores, Inc., leases space in the Union. Visiting Faculty and Guest Housing. A very limited number of rental houses are available for visiting faculty and guest researchers through the Department of Univeristy Housing and Dining Services.
Rental periods range from a minimum of three or four months to a maximum of twelve months.
Reservations are often made up to a year in advance, so early contact is suggested. Assistance to Faculty with Disabilities. It is the policy of Oregon State University to comply with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and other applicable federal and state regulations that prohibit discrimination on the basis of diability.
