U of O will see dramatic change as the bulk of its campus dates from this era.

$500M over 10 years for all universities in the province is better than nothing, but it hardly seems enough "significantly renovate or tear down most of their buildings from that era" The Social Sciences building (which doesn't have the expensive labs, etc of an engineering or science building) cost $112M by itself.
I sort of wonder what they're thinking in terms of paying for all of these new buildings. UofO has a small endowment and doesn't seem to attract a lot of big donors.
