== History ==

Initially founded in 1970, Dechutes Hall was dedicated for the CIS department on Oct. 16, 1989 as the part of a $45.6 million dollar project with the Cascade, Streisinger and Willamette Halls in the current Lokey Science Complex. Deschutes Hall on the [[Campus of the University of Oregon|UO campus]] was complete in the Winter Quarter of 1990, along with the other Halls in the same year. Construction of the building was funded primarily through a [[United States Department of Energy]] grant sponsored by Oregon governor [[Victor G. Atiyeh]] and United States senator [[Mark Hatfield]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://library.uoregon.edu/guides/architecture/oregon/deschutes.html|title=Deschutes Hall|publisher=UO Libraries|work=The Architecture of the University of Oregon|accessdate=11 June 2013}}</ref> Deschutes hall is connected by a skybridge to the Lewis Integrative Science buiding.
