Project Description
Straub Hall was designed inthe Colonial Revival style as a men's dormitory and constructed in 1928-29. The building continued to serve as a dormitory until 1971 when the process to convert the building the house the Psychology Department was started. Identified as an Oregon University System "Tier 1 Deferred Maintenance Project", the Project will implement seismic upgrades; retrofit or replace existing heating, ventilation, electrical, plumbing, and lighting systems with more energy and water efficient systems; enhance the thermal performance of the building envelope; and improve accessibility. There are no funds currently allocated to specifically address space layout improvements. However, significant demolition may be required to accomplish the deferred maintenance upgrades, and replacement of interior spaces may present opportunities to improve the building interior layout.
