Abstract

Built in 1969 as a new women’s gymnasium, Gerlinger Annex is a utilitarian brick structure built in the International style. It replaced two wood gymnasium facilities on this same site. It is located adjacent to the Gerlinger Field Green (Women’s Physical Education Field), the Pioneer Cemetery and the Knight Library. There is a concrete breezeway that connects it to the historic Gerlinger Hall. There is limited stylist sensitivity as an infill project between two historic buildings, Gerlinger Hall and Knight Library. The courtyard afronting this building consists of concrete in the form of pathways, planter beds and stump seating. There have been no major alterations to this structure. The gymnasium floor was remodeled in 1982 and the structure was reroofed in 1994. This building continues to be used as gymnasium space and offices for the U of O Dance Department. Per the National Register criteria, this building, at this point in time, does not meet any criteria for listing. This building should be further researched and re-evaluated once it reaches 50 years old. It has been ranked as a non-contributing resource due to its very low significance.
