Overview of the "Campus Heritage Landscape Plan"

Preservation of something as inclusive as the open-space framework requires examination at a variety of levels.

The Campus Heritage Landscape Plan focuses on the university’s open-space framework and ranges from the broad to the specific. It contains overall guidelines that develop a model for cultural landscape preservation, with suggested policies, patterns, and treatment standards. It also contains examples of detailed guidelines applied to specific landscapes,and the testing of these guidelines with proposed new development. Finally, the Plan contains a comprehensive survey of the university’s landscapes and buildings.

Four separate elements of the Campus Heritage Landscape Plan have been published. They have been organized in the following classifications:

•   1.0 Landscape Preservation Guidelines and Description of Historic Resources

•   2.0 Site Specific Preservation Plans and Guidelines

•   3.0 Survey of Landscape Areas

•   4.0 Survey of Buildings (1876–1974)

Each document  focuses on a specific portion of the Plan, and together they present a comprehensive understanding of the University of Oregon’s historic resources and methods for their protection.
