Nike has named its new development center at their headquarters in Beaverton, OR in honor of C. Vivian Stringer.

The 35,000-square-foot C. Vivian Stringer Child Development Center will open in June and have 26 classrooms to provide care, learning and development for approximately 300 children.

"Words cannot truly express how deeply touched and honored I am," Stringer said. "When Phil Knight called to tell me of this tribute, I was literally speechless. I am so very humbled.... It is extremely personal because of the work that will be done in the building for young people, like my daughter."
