    Chapman Hall Historic Assessment
    (University of Oregon, 2015-05) Campus Planning, Design & Construction, University of Oregon
    This 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.

    Erb Memorial Union Preliminary Historic Assessment
    (University of Oregon, 2011-12) Campus Planning, Design & Construction, University of Oregon
    This 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.
