Item Open Access 1.0 Landscape Preservation Guidelines and Description of Historic Resources(University of Oregon, 2008-07) Campus Planning & Real Estate, University of OregonThis document contains overall guidelines and a description of historic resources that develop a model for cultural landscape preservation. It provides guidance for implementing related Campus Plan policies and patterns, although it is not an approved Subject Plan.Item Open Access 2.0 Site Specific Preservation Plans and Guidelines(University of Oregon, 2008-07) Campus Planning & Real Estate, University of OregonFollowing the development of the overall Campus Landscape Preservation Guidelines, a select number of landscape areas were chosen for the creation of site-specific guidelines, acting as test cases for a deeper level of investigation and treatment. The four sites selected for this investigation where chosen based upon distinctive characteristics they contain or unique issues they face. Two areas – Johnson Lane Axis and Pioneer Axis (Women’s Memorial Quadrangle) – were studied in tandem based on their intersecting relationship. Also studied were the Dads’ Gates Axis, an area never fully realized as historically intended, and the Old Campus Quad, one of the oldest developed landscape areas on campus. To inform and direct the studies, the history and evolution of each area were explored. This research helped establish the design intent for each landscape area, to the greatest extent that could be determined. Following this, an analysis of each site was conducted to explore current conditions and determine the historically significant elements to be protected. Items such as circulation, views, and vegetation were examined, recorded, and considered.Item Open Access Chapman Hall Historic Assessment(University of Oregon, 2015-05) Campus Planning, Design & Construction, University of OregonThis assessment identifies the historic features of Chapman Hall’s exterior (including landscape elements) and interior spaces. Understanding the building’s historic significance is the first step to evaluating and preserving its valuable architectural and landscape features. This assessment is intended to be used as a resource when making recommendations for treatment of Chapman Hall during any alterations or additions. Please note that this assessment incorporates information from a prior preliminary historic assessment from 2011. Information from the 2011 assessment has been included and updated in this complete version, which is intended to replace the 2011 preliminary assessment. The assessed areas are shown on the Surveyed Areas and Ranking maps (pp. 3-11). Each area with potential historic significance is assigned a ranking of primary, secondary, or tertiary. This ranking is based on the level of historic significance (high, medium, or low) and level of integrity, defined as the degree to which the key historic elements are evident today (excellent, good, fair, or poor). Refer to Appendix A for a full description of the ranking methodology.Item Open Access Chapman Hall Preliminary Window Assessment(University of Oregon, 2015-06) Campus Planning, Design & Construction, University of OregonWindows are some of the most significant character-defining features of any building. From window opening, to frame, to sash, to glazing, their construction and materials play a major role in the design of the building’s facade and overall composition. A building’s window and facade design can indicate the aesthetic style, building materials, and building technologies of their time and place. Inappropriate or unsympathetic window upgrades and treatments can drastically alter the appearance of a building. With that said, concerns over energy conservation, continued maintenance, and other considerations have lead to growing needs of window treatments and alterations for our historic buildings. This assessment identifies and documents the general condition of the typical window types found in Chapman Hall and provides a variety of treatment recommendations for their continued use. This initial assessment is intended to be used as a preliminary resource for the treatment of Chapman Hall’s original historic windows when planning any alterations or additions.Item Open Access Erb Memorial Union Preliminary Historic Assessment(University of Oregon, 2011-12) Campus Planning, Design & Construction, University of OregonThis preliminary assessment identifies the historic significance of the Erb Memorial Union’s landscape features, exterior facades, and interior spaces. The areas surveyed are shown on the Surveyed Areas and Ranking maps (pp. 6-8). Each area with potential historic significance is assigned a ranking of primary, secondary, or tertiary. This ranking is based upon the level of historic significance (high, medium, or low) and level of integrity, defined as the degree to which the key historic elements are evident today (excellent, good, fair, or poor). Refer to Appendix D for a description of the ranking methodology. Overall, the Erb Memorial Union (EMU) has a secondary historic ranking (UO 4.0 Survey of Buildings). This means that it is likely to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The EMU did not receive a primary ranking due to its compromised integrity (substantial additions). However, there are many individual spaces and features within the EMU that have primary historic significance. It is important to identify these historically significant features and consider ways to preserve them.Item Open Access Fenton Hall Entries and Skylight Historic Assessment(University of Oregon, 2010-01) Campus Planning, Design & Construction, University of OregonSince it was built in 1906, Fenton Hall has undergone numerous changes including significant revisions to the entry facade and stair. The current entry reflects the 1936 Lawrence Holford and Allyn design. Since this time only minor changes to the entry’s interior and exterior have been made including changes to interior and exterior lighting, floor finishes, and the stair balustrade and nosing. It is assumed that a number of small, unnoted changes have been made to accommodate new electrical, fire suppression, ventilation, and plumbing systems.Item Open Access Fenton Hall Window Condition Assessment(University of Oregon, 2010-05) Campus Planning, Design & Construction, University of OregonOverall, the assessed Fenton Hall windows are in excellent condition. This survey sought to assess all windows in the original Fenton Hall building and excluded assessment of the Stack Addition. The majority of wear to the windows is superficial; the most commonly affected area is the exterior sill, both the concrete and the wooden portion. Exposed sills and jambs on the south, west and north sides are in need of repainting. Currently, exposed wood has lead to checking on some of these sills. It also appears that some windows have been impacted by water infiltration as the paint condition on some of the interior muntins and rails shows signs of past condensation accumulation. A number of weight cords on the double hung windows are also in need of repair. Unless otherwise mentioned, all windows and much of the hardware appear to be original, though many of the operable windows have had new stops added. Second and third floor windows are operable and notably decorative. The majority of the third floor windows are double hung with a fixed, decorative upper sash. Two distinct diamond quarrel patterns describe the upper sashes, suggesting that some of them were replaced at one point. The majority of windows on the second floor are also operable. Six of these windows along the eastern elevation are have a large fixed lower window with an operable, arched transom above. Original operable vents are still present in these six distinctive windows. While function would be improved by paint removal from the vents’ exterior side and a thorough cleaning, they provide ventilation passively. Other windows have been retrofitted to accommodate air conditioning units.Item Open Access Friendly Hall Preliminary Historic Assessment(University of Oregon, 2022-10) Campus Planning & Facilities Management, University of OregonThis assessment identifies the historic features of Friendly Hall’s exterior (including landscape elements) and interior spaces. Understanding the building’s historic significance is the first step to evaluating and preserving its valuable architectural and landscape features. This assessment is intended to be used as a resource when making recommendations for treatment of Friendly Hall during any alterations or additions. The assessed areas are shown on the Surveyed Areas and Ranking map (pg. 4). Each area with potential historic significance is assigned a ranking of primary, secondary, or tertiary. This ranking is based on the level of historic significance (high, medium, or low) and level of integrity, defined as the degree to which the key historic elements are evident today (excellent, good, fair, or poor). Refer to Appendix A -- for a full description of the ranking methodology.Item Open Access Gerlinger Hall Alumni Lounge Historic Preservation Presentation Materials(University of Oregon, 2021-10) Campus Planning, University of OregonThe Gerlinger Lounge (originally called Alumni Hall) in Gerlinger Hall is the most intact historic interior on campus, retaining much of the original historic fabric. The Lounge, along with the building, is nationally recognized for its historic significance and still retains its historic Georgian details, such as French doors, Georgian columns and pilasters, and shield and scroll motifs.Item Open Access McMorran House and Gardens History(University of Oregon, 2010-02) Campus Planning, Design and Construction, University of OregonThe McMorran House was built for George McMorran in 1925 during a time when Eugene was experiencing its largest building and population boom, in accordance with the designs of Roscoe D. Hemenway, a respected architect and George H. Otten, landscape architect. George McMorran, was a man who greatly influenced the commercial life of Eugene and was also deeply involved in the organization and life of the community. George McMorran sold the house to the University of Oregon in 1941. Every resident thereafter has been a president of the University of Oregon and, therefore, has had a profound impact on the university. Roscoe D. Hemenway, a UO graduate and an acclaimed Portland architect known for his period revival style residential work, designed the McMorran house. The house is an excellent example of the Tudor Revival/Norman Farmhouse-style exemplified by its steeply-pitched, hipped roof; massive chimneys; dominant façade with decorative brickwork; oriel window; and pronounced entryway. The expansive gardens are likely the work of George H. Otten, another UO grad and well-known Oregon landscape architect.Item Open Access Principle 7 - Architectural Style and Historic Preservation(University of Oregon, 2019) Campus Planning, University of OregonThe continuity and quality of the university’s campus environment are materially affected by the character and architectural style of the buildings.
