ALLEN HALL
RENOVATION
Rapid growth of the student body and faculty in the School of Journalism and
Communication, along with escalating needs for specialized classrooms and resource
facilities, has triggered the need to renovate Allen Hall. Planning for the
complete renovation of Allen Hall was based on a November 13, 1995 master plan
study by Boucher Mouchka Larson Architects (BML). Phases I and II were completed
in earlier years. Total project budget: $3.5 million.
ALLEN HALL RENOVATION PHASE III - RESOURCE ROOM

Construction Firm: Morris
P. Kielty, Eugene
Project Manager: Alex Gordon
Project Planner: Chris
Ramey
This phase created a Resource Room (Willis S. Dunaway Journalism Resource Room), which provides new space designed for study, meetings, and student research. As the School's curriculum increasingly becomes project-oriented with strong emphasis on team and individual projects, space is needed for student meetings and team conferences, and students need greater access to computers and computer networks. The Resource Room meets all of these needs. In addition, a schematic design for a new entry was completed. Construction was completed in Spring 1999.
ALLEN HALL RENOVATION PHASE IV

This phase included the creation of a new 1,100 SF building
entry which efficiently connects the two portions of the lower floors with each
other and with the rest of the building. Additionally, because the ground floor
of the building is below grade, an entry plaza was designed to adjust from the
surrounding grade to the entrance level through a series of gradual transitions
to the existing contours.
Phase IV included a conference room devoted
to alumni recognition and the Dean's Complex, consisting of a two-room Dean's
suite with private office, staff office and support area. Construction began
in Summer 1999 and was completed in April 2000.

Description: The stadium expansion design addressed the need to expand seating capacity and the need to improve circulation, accessibility, restrooms, concessions, and press facilities. It took into consideration the original design by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, which displays axial geometry, symmetrical massing, easily understood circulation, and the use of the berm as a podium for the stadium. The phased expansion and renovation project added 12,000 new seats, 3,000 of which are located in a new covered "club section," along with 32 new skyboxes, a three-story luxury suite, and improved concession stands. These improvements are expected to produce more revenue, thus helping the athletic department to become completely self-funding. The total stadium capacity increased from 41,700 to 53,800 seats.
The site master plan addressed the need for improved circulation, parking, transit capacity, accessibility, and pre-game activity amenities (including new restroom facilities).
The schematic design was completed in winter 2000. Phase 1 of the project, including landscaping of the north berm, was completed in 2000. Phase 2, including new artificial turf; the new bus transit station; new water, sewer, and electrical facilities; new ticket booths; and a decorative fence around the stadium, was completed in summer 2001. Phase 3, including the addition of 12,000 new seats, improved restrooms, concessions, and walkways, were completed before the 2002 football season. Phase 4, including the addition of new sky suites and pressbox, was finished by the 2003 season.
Status: Completed summer 2003.
CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Faced with the twin challenges of increased numbers of students and outmoded
classroom facilities, the university embarked on a three-phase project to expand
and modernize core academic space on the campus. Stage One (see William
W. Knight Law School) of the project relocated the Law School to a new building
on land available at the eastern edge of the campus periphery (completed), freeing
up the central campus space of the previous Law building (McKenzie Hall) for
general educational uses. The renovation of McKenzie Hall, Stage Two (see McKenzie
Hall Renovation), is also completed. Stage three of the project is the Lillis
Hall/Gilbert Hall Additions and Alterations Project. Lilles Hall was completed
in winter 2004
Project Planner: Christine Thompson, (541) 346-5572
The purpose of diagnosis studies is to record the existing conditions of the campus as they relate to the university's Long Range Campus Development Plan's policies and patterns. These studies aid in decision making for potential development of the area, as well as help identify the need for future amendments to the Long Range Campus Development Plan.

The University of Oregon began the process of updating its Campus Plan (previously known as the 1991 Long Range Campus Development Plan) in the summer of 2004.
The Campus Plan describes the guiding principles (or patterns) and policies that define the type and extent of future campus development. The 1991 LRCDP was written nearly fifteen years ago. It has effectively guided the university through an active period of development and improvements resulting in a noticeably enhanced campus environment. Change happens incrementally, making an overall guiding plan essential. The plan's basic precepts remain very effective. Nonetheless, it is important to revisit portions of the LRCDP to evaluate potential improvements to the planning process and to fix outdated information. These efforts will ensure that the LRCDP will serve the campus for the next ten years.
A draft updated Campus Plan was completed and reviewed by a wide body of individuals and groups during a three-month time period beginning January 11, 2005 and ending with the CPC April 12, 2005 public hearing. The Campus Planning Committee reviewed the comments and suggestions gathered during this review period prior and took action May 24, 2005. The CPC's recommendation for approval was supported by university administration.

Status: Completed
Project Planner: Christine Thompson, (541) 346-5572
Description: The purpose of the Campus
Outdoor Lighting Plan is to interpret and enhance the existing Long Range
Campus Development Plan (LRCDP) outdoor lighting policies creating a Level 3
Plan. The plan defines lighting parameters for entrances, pedestrian walkways,
and parking lots on campus. It also describes review requirements and defines
the campus standard light fixture design.
Outdoor lighting on campus has received a great deal of attention over the years.
This plan is designed to address the key issues and concerns surrounding the
subject. Establishing a plan (in particular prioritizing outdoor lighting walkways)
will also allow the CPC to review outdoor lighting improvements in a comprehensive
manner, thus eliminating the need for individual lamp location reviews.
Status: Completed winter 2004.
CAMPUS TREE PLAN
Project Planner: Christine Thompson, (541) 346-5572
The Campus Tree Plan, created by the Campus Planning Committee, will guide future care for the trees on campus to ensure that they remain a vital component of the campus environment. The university has had in place other policies (Long Range Campus Development Plan) which address tree management, but the policies lacked specificity and were not comprehensive. The new Campus Tree Plan ensures that all development, repair, maintenance and operations of the University of Oregon campus incorporate tree management principles addressing tree protection, tree replacement, landscape design, and environmental sustainability.
The Campus Tree Plan became available in October, 2001.

EAST CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT POLICY UPDATE
Project Planners: Chris Ramey, (541) 346-5562 and Christine Thompson, (541) 346-5572
The university, with input from neighbors and campus community members, created a new policy for East Campus development. The policy's goal is to provide for the expansion of the institution, based on its needs, without diminishing the quality of the surrounding neighborhood. It describes the type and extent of future development in the East Campus Area. The policy addresses the following key elements: university mission, graceful edges, campus-like character, traffic, parking, maintenance, and communication.

This project is one of a series of projects that looks at ways to improve campus
gateways. Well-developed entrances to the campus increase coherency and create
a sense of the campus as a definable space. The Eastgate project covers the
area between Oregon Hall and the University Health and Counseling Center and
its surroundings. This area is particularly important because it is the first
point of arrival for prospective students, staff, faculty, and campus visitors.
It also is a key component of the university's vehicular circulation system.
A steering committee was established
and worked with the landscape architecture firm on the Feasibility Study. A
workshop was held February 5, 1999 to gain input from a broader focus group.
The results of this meeting were presented at a campus-wide presentation.
The Feasibility Study report, completed August 1999, identified four conceptual goals: (1) sense of arrival, (2) traffic control, (3) reflection of the Oregon landscape, and (4) front doors to buildings.

Since 1950, the Erb Memorial Union (EMU) has been the gathering place for campus activities at the University of Oregon. It houses more than 150 student groups and provides lounges, art galleries, a variety of food venues, a pool hall and arcade, a number of services, group meeting rooms, and a staff of program consultants to assist the student groups. The fifty-year-old building has undergone at least three additions or renovations during its lifetime.
This master plan contains a conceptual program for accommodating the EMU's space needs for the next 20 years, and a basic diagrammatic vision for how the needed space can be accommodated including identification of discrete construction phases which could be implemented over a number of years.
Status: The master plan is completed. [updated 12/03]

This project, completed in the summer of 1998, was initiated on behalf of the
ASUO by the 1996-97 ASUO President to commemorate the organization's 100-year
anniversary. The project repaired and improved the portion of the campus located
between the EMU and the intersection of 13th Avenue and University Street (approximately
24,000 SF). The landscape architect worked with a user group of students, faculty,
and staff. The project removed paving and some of the existing trees and constructed
a plaza near the intersection, one more suitable for large group gatherings
than the previous series of smaller spaces. It includes a raised "stage," and
all areas are accessible by gently sloping sidewalks that are more manageable
for people with disabilities. The project creates a more open view of the EMU
and also includes a clear path up to the main entrance of the building. This
project's support was due largely to enormous efforts on the part of the ASUO,
the user group, the consultant, and the general contractor working in very complementary
and productive ways. Source of funds: student incidental fees.

The new Knight Law Center at the corner of 15th Avenue and Agate Street was
the first stage of the Campus Development Project. The Law Center houses the
Law library and has boosted overall Law School space by almost 50% to accommodate
565 instruction stations, 41 faculty offices, and several administrative areas.
The new center better fits the way law is taught today, with more small classrooms
and seminar rooms, a student lounge, a moot courtroom, areas for groups to meet,
and access to the latest technology. It was designed by Portland architectural
firm Yost Grube Hall. The Law School moved in Summer 1999 when final construction
was completed.

The Lillis Hall/Gilbert Hall Additions and Alterations Project represents the
final stage of the Campus Development Project. It relieved some of the need
for general classroom space on campus.
The newly configured Lillis Business Complex, which houses the Lundquist College of Business in four separate, linked structures, connects the UO's west entrance to the Memorial Quadrangle. Its prominent location and Gilbert Hall's historic role as the first element of what became the Memorial Quadrangle (listed on the National Register of Historic Places) give it pivotal importance both on the campus map and in campus history.
This project is the first comprehensive addition and alteration project for Gilbert Hall in nearly 50 years. Since the center bridge connector (commonly referred to as the "Commonwealth Bridge") was opened in 1952, this building complex has been expanded and remodeled, but always without a comprehensive study of the long-range needs of the College of Business.
The project created a unified facility that fosters interaction among students and faculty and supports teaching and learning in the classroom, in self-directed teams, and in internships. It gives the College state-of-the-art teaching and support facilities, a new look and new front door onto the campus that it and the rest of the university can be proud of.

The second stage of the Campus Development Project was the renovation of the
former Law School building for university classroom and office use by the College
of Arts and Sciences and other departments, including public interface components
of University Computing.
The renovation of McKenzie Hall (formerly called Grayson Hall) included the
creation of new, state-of-the-art classrooms and offices in former library space,
improvements to existing classrooms, creation of computer labs and seminar rooms,
and other interior remodeling. It also included improvements to accessibility,
entrances, approaches, and the existing courtyard.
The first floor continues to provide space for existing classrooms; University
Computing maintains a documents room and a general university computer lab.
Its software consultants, Help Desk, and computer repair programs are also housed
on this floor. Existing classrooms and lecture halls on the first floor have
been enhanced to support a wider range of teaching styles and methods.
Two of the building entrances have been modified to provide an improved connection
with the university, orienting the building toward the rest of campus. The university
contracted separately with Cameron McCarthy Gilbert & Scheibe, landscape
architects, to design these improvements.
The second floor was remodeled for the department offices of History and Ethnic
Studies. The original moot court has become a film studies classroom; the law
library space has been converted to new flexible media-equipped classrooms,
and the original lecture halls have been improved with better lighting, enhanced
acoustics, and provisions for multimedia presentation.
The third floor has remained faculty offices and includes a faculty lounge,
seminar rooms, GTF offices, a GTF lounge and a classroom. Open spaces have been
made into shared commons.
Three new seminar rooms, a multi-use classroom, and the Social Sciences Instructional
Laboratory were built on the fourth floor, as well as space for the Oregon Survey
Research Laboratory.
Construction was completed in summer 2000 and the building was occupied the
beginning of Fall term.

Built in 1932, the Museum of Art is Oregon's premier academic art museum. It
receives between 40,000 and 50,000 visitors annually, many arriving from off
campus. The Museum of Art's audiences, collections, programs, and staffing have
long since outgrown the facility. This project will provide an addition for
new galleries, collections storage, a loading dock, new offices, and an auditorium.
It will renovate existing spaces including development of a climate control
system, new electrical systems, asbestos abatement, and ADA improvements. The
creation of an outdoor sculpture courtyard is also part of this project.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building itself is considered
to be an important part of the Museum's collection of artwork. The project gave
careful and sensitive consideration to the building's campus location, its unique
architectural design, and its historic setting.

SHIRE RETREAT AND STUDY CENTER AT THE JOHN YEON PRESERVE FOR LANDSCAPE STUDIES. FEASIBILITY AND SITING STUDY.
Project Planner: Dorene Steggell (541)
346-5606
Landscape Architect: Walker Macy (503) 228-3122
The Shire occupies 75 acres along the northern bank of the Columbia River Gorge
directly across from Multnomah Falls, approximately 35 miles east of Portland.
It is a carefully designed landscape in a natural context with a sculpted lawn,
a series of meadows, vista points, river bays, and walking paths created by
John Yeon over a 30-year period. The School of Architecture and Allied Arts
plans to create a retreat and study center on the site.
The Shire, with its Retreat and Study Center, will become a national and regional
center for Pacific Northwest landscape and planning studies while being preserved
as an example of landscape design. A study examining the feasibility and siting
options for the development of the Center was completed in January 2005.

The signage improvements project at the
Southgate entrance is the last of three priority entrance signage projects proposed
by a review of campus signage several years ago. The other two locations are
Westgate, where signs were installed last fall, and the corner of Franklin Boulevard
and Agate Street, where a large "University of Oregon" sign was installed in
the spring of 1998.
Southgate improvements augment other University Street improvements made in
recent years and serve as both a welcome gateway and means of orientation. The
design contains elements of the existing Westgate (13th and Kincaid) with differences
in materials to reflect the immediate context. The Southgate design replaced
the previous light standards with taller, more massive lighting elements similar
in style to the Westgate design. A bronze, interlocking block 'UO' is embedded
in brick pavement across the entrance.
Construction was completed in Summer 1999.

This project consisted of the renovation and expansion of Esslinger Hall and
playing fields. The first phase included an addition which houses new strength
and fitness areas, a three-court gym with a running track, a rock-climbing wall
and a juice bar. The existing locker rooms and laundry areas were remodeled
for locker rooms, administrative offices, the Slocum Lab, athletic training
areas, and storage areas. The first phase also included an exterior, lighted,
artificial field. Other improvements included new accessibility ramps and other
minor repairs. Construction began in March 1998 and was completed in Fall 1999.
The second phase of construction included renovation of the existing gyms, courts and multipurpose rooms as well as the extension the grass field by the Autzen footbridge. Construction was completed in Spring 2000.
STUDENT
RECREATION [AND FITNESS] CENTER, Phase II- Student Indoor Tennis Center
Size: six new courts plus approximately 3,000 SF for the viewing area (Phase I,
1 floor)
Total Project Budget: approximately $2 million of funding for Phase
I of the construction work provided by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics
($.7 million) and the Recreation and Fitness Center user group ($1.3 million)
Architect: TBG Architects, Eugene
Construction Firm: Hyland Construction,

Project Planner: Chris Ramey
Project Manager: Mark Henry
During the planning phase for the Recreation and Fitness Center, discussions
were held among the project user group, representatives of Intercollegiate Athletics,
and PARS staff about how to combine funding for the Recreation Center project
with Athletic Department funding in order to build a new enclosed tennis facility.
The fully enclosed facility for instruction, recreation, and intercollegiate
tennis users replaces four covered courts that were demolished to make way for
the Rec Center. The tennis facility includes a small office and storage area
to be shared by all of the facility's users; restrooms; and a viewing area for
observing matches or instruction. It consists of a prefabricated metal-roofed
structure enclosed with 18-foot walls of articulated concrete masonry units.
The Student Indoor Tennis Center will be built in phases. Phase I, completed
in Fall 2000, consists of a six-court building with associated spaces and a central
viewing area. A later phase will expand the building from six to eight courts
and add a raised viewing platform.
STUDENT RECREATION AND FITNESS CENTER CONCEPT STUDY
PARS worked with the Planning Office and Yost Grube Hall Architects of Portland to analyze the facility's needs and develop a conceptual plan for future additions and alterations. The study was completed spring 2004. It describes two phases of expansion with a total of 111,000 square feet of new construction and 31,700 square feet of renovation. It includes conceptual floor plans, models, and rendered elevations, integrating the existing facility with the new.
Sustainable
Development Plan
Project Planner: Christine Thompson
The university has prepared guidelines for campus sustainable development that have been adopted as part of the Long Range Campus Development Plan. The Campus Planning Committee believes that the University of Oregon should be a world leader in creating and maintaining an environmentally sustainable institution. The University should set examples in the design, construction, and operation of the campus, the management of its fiscal and human resources and the actions of its faculty, staff, and students.
The Sustainable Development Plan was prepared by the Development, Policy, Implementation, and Transportation (DPIT) Subcommittee of the Campus Planning Committee as directed by the university president. It was reviewed and approved by the Campus Planning Committee at a public hearing October 5, 2000. The plan became effective February 15, 2001 when the University received notice that the City of Eugene had determined the "sustainable development" pattern to be consistent with the Area Metro Plan.

The existing Vivian Olum Child Development Center was designed to be developed in two phases. The architect for the original design, De Norval Unthank, worked with the user group to design Phase II, an addition (the Lois Schafpf Reed Wing) to the existing center. The addition allows the center to consolidate its program into one building, and to provide services to 13 additional children and their families. The program and size are similar to the originally planned Phase II. The configuration on the site was slightly modified to allow for more contiguous space to be left to the north of the building. Site preparation work began in Fall 2000 with demolition of one of the old, existing structures along the alley to the west of the existing center.
The schematic design phase was completed in Summer 1999. Construction was completed in Fall 2000.

The 15th Avenue improvements, built in the summer of 2004, increased parking significantly in the area of the Living Learning Center and also enhanced that part of campus with new trees, shrubs, irrigation, raised pedestrian crossings, and other features.
