Abstract
When Prince Lucien Campbell Hall was built to accommodate the University’s urgent need for office and classroom space. Federal
funds were used to pay for the majority of its construction. The modern architecture, which it brought to campus, did not catch on and
PLC Hall stands as an anomaly on the Memorial Quadrangle.
The building was partially designed by two University of Oregon Architecture graduates. A memo in the Campus Planning files (Aug. 6,
1991) from Loren Allen to George Shipman states that Keith Robert Maguire was a 1934 graduate of the UO, B. Arch. Rollin Boles
was a 1937 B. Arch UO graduate as well, but only Maguire and Stanton signed the drawings. This memo refers to information gained
from the UO Alumni Office. The period of significance is the construction date of the final two portions, when the complex was
complete.
This building is not yet eligible for the National Register as it is not fifty years old. The resource lacks distinction, is not an outstanding
example of the International Style, and therefore will not be eligible for the National Register when it reaches the 50-year mark. It is
ranked as a non-contributing resource due to its very low significance compared with other campus buildings.
