Historic Resource Surveys

Within the established period of significance (1876-1974), forty-nine buildings were surveyed and recorded. The survey forms used for the forty-nine buildings are similar to the forms in common use by the City of Eugene.

All of these historic resources received rankings based on their historic significance and integrity, creating a hierarchy that allows for protection of the most important resources while allowing for needed new development.

Ranking Levels:

Primary Ranking
Resources that have a high level of historic significance and excellent or good integrity (likely to be eligible forlisting in the National Register).

Secondary Ranking
Resources that have a reduced level of significance and good or excellent integrity. Also, resources that have a high level of historic significance but fair integrity (possibly eligible for listing in the National Register).

Tertiary Ranking
Resources that have a reduced (medium) level of historic significance but compromised (fair) integrity. Also, resources that have integrity but lack noteworthy significance at this time as an individual resource. These resources could contribute to the historic significance of a large grouping or district, though they are likely not eligible for listing individually in the National Register.

Non-Contributing Ranking
Resources that lack noteworthy significance or have severely compromised integrity. They do not contribute to the historic significance of a large grouping or district and are not eligible for listing in the National Register.

An abundance of trees, attractively grouped, pathways and lanes between various buildings, shrubbery of different kinds, and always flowers in their appropriate seasons, enable the Oregon campus to have a distinction peculiar to itself.
