Nike Renames Beaverton Headquarters the Philip H. Knight Campus

CEO Elliott Hill casts the change as a tribute to the co-founder that doubles as a rallying cue for a faster, sport-first culture.

Overview

  • The renaming took effect immediately, with new signage scheduled to appear over the next year.
  • Hill announced the move in an all-staff email on his one-year anniversary as CEO.
  • Nike plans a spring 2026 event to honor Phil Knight and mark the campus dedication.
  • The Beaverton site covers roughly 400 acres with more than 40 buildings designed in a college-style layout that Knight envisioned.
  • Company leaders present the decision as reinforcing a pivot toward sport and founder-like speed after a period of over-reliance on retro sneaker sales.
