THE CAMPUS PAST

Campus of the University of Oregon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The campus of the University of Oregon is located in Eugene, Oregon and includes some 80 buildings and facilities, including athletics facilities such as Hayward Field, which was the site of the 2008 Olympic Track and Field Trials, and McArthur Court, and off-campus sites such as nearby Autzen Stadium and the Riverfront Research Park. An online guide to the university's built environment, Architecture of the University of Oregon, 無法連接 published by the University of Oregon Libraries, describes campus buildings and provides timelines of key architectural events linked with campus history.

The Oregon Experiment

The university is known for being the site of a pioneering participatory planning experiment known as the Oregon Experiment (which is also the subject of a book of the same name). The two major principles of the project are that buildings should be designed, in part, by the people who will ultimately use them (usually with the help of an 'architect facilitator'), and that construction should occur over many small projects (as opposed to a few large ones).

List of buildings on campus

This list includes all buildings currently in use on the University of Oregon campus.

Old Campus


Villard Hall, the second building on campus.

Plaque dedicating the Memorial Quad

Memorial Quadrangle

The Memorial Quad was designed by architect Ellis F. Lawrence as the "main university quadrangle." Lawrence designed many of the buildings that make up the quad, including Peterson and Gilbert Halls, now part of the Lillis Business Complex, which lie at the very end of the Quad, across 13th street. Plaques designate the walkways of the quadrangle to be the gift of Chaplain William S. Gilbert, as a memory to those from the university who served their country in time of war.

Women's Memorial Quad

Also designed by Lawrence, the Women's Memorial Quadrangle featured only dormitories and the Women's Gymnasium. The Pioneer Mother statue, commemorating Tabitha Brown, is also located here.

Southwest Campus

Central Campus

The "Heart of Campus," at 13th and University Streets, is the site of the Erb Memorial Union (EMU) and a few academic buildings. The EMU Amphitheater is also a popular venue for student demonstrations, performances, and gatherings.

East Campus

Future campus development

The small size of the campus presents many hurdles for future campus development. However, the UO has plans for 40 construction projects totaling an estimated $2 billion. Among the various projects there are plans to do the following:
  • A $161 million renovation and expansion of the EMU and SRC. This plan includes a 1500 seat concert hall.
  • Replace Onyx Bridge with a new science building.
  • Build at least one new building on the Memorial Quad. Additionally, renovate and expand existing buildings on the Quad.
  • Riverfront lands development. This plan includes a pedestrian crossing over Franklin Blvd.
  • Add capacity and modernize existing residence halls in order to accommodate 25% of all undergraduates.[4]

Preceded by The Timeless Way of Building
The Oregon Experiment is a 1975 book by Christopher Alexander and collaborators Murray Silverstein, Shlomo Angel, Sara Ishikawa, and Denny Abrams. It describes an experimental approach to campus community planning at the University of Oregon, in Eugene, Oregon which resulted in a theory of architecture and planning described in the group's later published and better-known volumes A Pattern Language and The Timeless Way of Building.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, students and faculty at the University of Oregon protested against log trucks driving through campus; against the destruction of a 19th century cemetery; against the military draft and the invasions and occupations in Southeast Asia; and against the idea that the University was acting in loco parentis, in place of students' parents. On top of this, buildings created since the end of World War II were increasingly Brutalist and dystopian[citation needed].
The campus community wanted more control over their lives, and their environment. The University administration took the conciliatory measure of hiring an award-winning, radical, professor from University of California, Berkeley to design a process by which the community of the university could create its own space. The University of Oregon became the experimental testbed for material that later became the bestselling book A Pattern Language.
The book prescribed that "feeling" should be the primary criteria used for making changes to any place. Improvements to the campus should be made first to those places that needed the most help. Patterns, or good solutions to generic problems, should be available in a community encyclopedia. Care should be taken to curb the economic and political power of large monolithic projects. Places should be shaped for people, to make them feel more whole, and to nourish them. And people should be involved in the construction of their community.

Today

Most new campus buildings at the University of Oregon reflect the influence of participation by user groups. Documentation related to the building of the University of Oregon science complex in the late 1980s describes 'pattern language' planning principles in process.
