ALLEN HALL RENOVATION
Rapid growth of the student body and faculty in the School of Journalism and Communication, along with escalating needs for specialized classrooms and resource facilities, has triggered the need to renovate Allen Hall. Planning for the complete renovation of Allen Hall was based on a November 13, 1995 master plan study by Boucher Mouchka Larson Architects (BML). Phases I and II were completed in earlier years. Total project budget: $3.5 million.
ALLEN HALL RENOVATION PHASE III - RESOURCE ROOM
Interior Photo, Exterior Photo
Size: approximately 1,400 sf remodeling (1 floor)
Total Project Budget: approximately $373,000 private funds (Direct construction $283,053) (Project cost $372,965)
Architect: Boucher Mouchka Larson Architects (BML), Portland
Construction Firm: Morris P. Kielty, Eugene
Project Manager: Alex Gordon
Project Planner: Chris Ramey
This phase created a Resource Room (Willis S. Dunaway Journalism Resource Room), which provides new space designed for study, meetings, and student research. As the School's curriculum increasingly becomes project-oriented with strong emphasis on team and individual projects, space is needed for student meetings and team conferences, and students need greater access to computers and computer networks. The Resource Room meets all of these needs. In addition, a schematic design for a new entry was completed. Construction was completed in Spring 1999.
ALLEN HALL RENOVATION PHASE IV
Exterior Photo 1, Interior Photo
Size: approximately 1,100 SF addition (1 & 2 floors)
Total Project Budget: approximately $850,000 private funds (Direct construction $726,565) (Project cost $850,112)
Architect: Boucher Mouchka Larson Architects (BML), Portland
Landscape Architect: Cameron McCarthy Gilbert, Eugene
Construction Firm: Morris P. Kielty, Eugene
Project Planner: Chris Ramey
Project Manager: Alex Gordon
This phase included the creation of a new 1,100 SF building entry which efficiently connects the two portions of the lower floors with each other and with the rest of the building. Additionally, because the ground floor of the building is below grade, an entry plaza was designed to adjust from the surrounding grade to the entrance level through a series of gradual transitions to the existing contours.
Phase IV included a conference room devoted to alumni recognition and the Dean's Complex, consisting of a two-room Dean's suite with private office, staff office and support area. Construction began in Summer 1999 and was completed in April 2000.
ALLEN HALL RENOVATION, Phase V

Total Project Budget: $89.7 million (February 2000 emergency board $19.7 million F-bonds, $60.3 million gifts, November 2001 emergency board $9.7 million F-bonds) (Direct constructin $81,126,901) (project cost $89 million)
Architect: Ellerbe Becket, Kansas City, MO (816) 561-4443
Construction Firm: Hunt/Wildish, Eugene (541) 485-1700
Project Planner: Chris Ramey, (541) 346-5562
Project Manager: Charlene Lindsay, (541) 346-5276
Description: The stadium expansion design addressed the need to expand seating capacity and the need to improve circulation, accessibility, restrooms, concessions, and press facilities. It took into consideration the original design by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, which displays axial geometry, symmetrical massing, easily understood circulation, and the use of the berm as a podium for the stadium. The phased expansion and renovation project added 12,000 new seats, 3,000 of which are located in a new covered "club section," along with 32 new skyboxes, a three-story luxury suite, and improved concession stands. These improvements are expected to produce more revenue, thus helping the athletic department to become completely self-funding. The total stadium capacity increased from 41,700 to 53,800 seats.
The site master plan addressed the need for improved circulation, parking, transit capacity, accessibility, and pre-game activity amenities (including new restroom facilities).
The schematic design was completed in winter 2000. Phase 1 of the project, including landscaping of the north berm, was completed in 2000. Phase 2, including new artificial turf; the new bus transit station; new water, sewer, and electrical facilities; new ticket booths; and a decorative fence around the stadium, was completed in summer 2001. Phase 3, including the addition of 12,000 new seats, improved restrooms, concessions, and walkways, were completed before the 2002 football season. Phase 4, including the addition of new sky suites and pressbox, was finished by the 2003 season.
Status: Completed summer 2003.

The 17,500 gsf building houses the International Institute for Sport and Human Performance; it also contains track-team offices and locker rooms, a meeting room, a circuit-training room, and a treatment facility staffed by athletic trainers. Project was completed in 1992.
CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
Faced with the twin challenges of increased numbers of students and outmoded classroom facilities, the university embarked on a three-phase project to expand and modernize core academic space on the campus. Stage One (see William W. Knight Law School) of the project relocated the Law School to a new building on land available at the eastern edge of the campus periphery (completed), freeing up the central campus space of the previous Law building (McKenzie Hall) for general educational uses. The renovation of McKenzie Hall, Stage Two (see McKenzie Hall Renovation), is also completed. Stage three of the project is the Lillis Hall/Gilbert Hall Additions and Alterations Project. Lilles Hall was completed in winter 2004
Project Planner: Christine Thompson, (541) 346-5572
The purpose of diagnosis studies is to record the existing conditions of the campus as they relate to the university's Long Range Campus Development Plan's policies and patterns. These studies aid in decision making for potential development of the area, as well as help identify the need for future amendments to the Long Range Campus Development Plan.

Status: Completed.
Project Planner: Christine Thompson, (541) 346-5572
Description: The purpose of the Campus Outdoor Lighting Plan is to interpret and enhance the existing Long Range Campus Development Plan (LRCDP) outdoor lighting policies creating a Level 3 Plan. The plan defines lighting parameters for entrances, pedestrian walkways, and parking lots on campus. It also describes review requirements and defines the campus standard light fixture design.
Outdoor lighting on campus has received a great deal of attention over the years. This plan is designed to address the key issues and concerns surrounding the subject. Establishing a plan (in particular prioritizing outdoor lighting walkways) will also allow the CPC to review outdoor lighting improvements in a comprehensive manner, thus eliminating the need for individual lamp location reviews.
Status: Completed winter 2004.
Project Planners: Chris Ramey, (541) 346-5562 and Christine Thompson, (541) 346-5572
The University of Oregon began the process of updating its Campus Plan (previously known as the 1991 Long Range Campus Development Plan) in the summer of 2004.
The Campus Plan describes the guiding principles (or patterns) and policies that define the type and extent of future campus development. The 1991 LRCDP was written nearly fifteen years ago. It has effectively guided the university through an active period of development and improvements resulting in a noticeably enhanced campus environment. Change happens incrementally, making an overall guiding plan essential. The plan's basic precepts remain very effective. Nonetheless, it is important to revisit portions of the LRCDP to evaluate potential improvements to the planning process and to fix outdated information. These efforts will ensure that the LRCDP will serve the campus for the next ten years.
A draft updated Campus Plan was completed and reviewed by a wide body of individuals and groups during a three-month time period beginning January 11, 2005 and ending with the CPC April 12, 2005 public hearing. The Campus Planning Committee reviewed the comments and suggestions gathered during this review period prior and took action May 24, 2005. The CPC's recommendation for approval was supported by university administration.

Status: Completed
CAMPUS TREE PLAN
Project Planner: Christine Thompson, (541) 346-5572
The Campus Tree Plan, created by the Campus Planning Committee, guides the future care for the trees on campus ensuring that they remain a vital component of the campus environment. The university has had in place other policies (Long Range Campus Development Plan) which address tree management, but the policies lacked specificity and were not comprehensive. The new Campus Tree Plan ensures that all development, repair, maintenance and operations of the University of Oregon campus incorporate tree management principles addressing tree protection, tree replacement, landscape design, and environmental sustainability.
The Campus Tree Plan was completed in October, 2001.
Location: Autzen Stadium

Total Project Budget: (Direct construction $341,148) (Project cost $471,292)
Architect: Robertson/Sherwood Architects, Eugene, (541) 342-8077
Contractor: Preferred Construction, Springfield
Description: This remodeling effort of the Computing Center was long overdue. When the Computing Center was built in 1966, computing was oriented toward large machines and punch-card data, and little thought was given to the staff associated with those functions. Staff had long outgrown this space as well as the second floor addition that was added in 1970. Once Microcomputer Customer Services was moved to McKenzie Hall in 2000, focus shifted to improving the Computing Center. The remodel of both floors, approximately 10,000 gsf, improved the remaining Computing Center operations. Construction was completed in fall 2001.

This project is one of a series of projects that looks at ways to improve campus gateways. Well-developed entrances to the campus increase coherency and create a sense of the campus as a definable space. The Eastgate project covers the area between Oregon Hall and the University Health and Counseling Center and its surroundings. This area is particularly important because it is the first point of arrival for prospective students, staff, faculty, and campus visitors. It also is a key component of the university's vehicular circulation system.
A steering committee was established and worked with the landscape architecture firm on the Feasibility Study. A workshop was held February 5, 1999 to gain input from a broader focus group. The results of this meeting were presented at a campus-wide presentation.
The Feasibility Study report, completed August 1999, identified four conceptual goals: (1) sense of arrival, (2) traffic control, (3) reflection of the Oregon landscape, and (4) front doors to buildings.

Project Manager: Garry Fritz
This project, completed in the summer of 1998, was initiated on behalf of the ASUO by the 1996-97 ASUO President to commemorate the organization's 100-year anniversary. The project repaired and improved the portion of the campus located between the EMU and the intersection of 13th Avenue and University Street (approximately 24,000 SF). The landscape architect worked with a user group of students, faculty, and staff. The project removed paving and some of the existing trees and constructed a plaza near the intersection, one more suitable for large group gatherings than the previous series of smaller spaces. It includes a raised "stage," and all areas are accessible by gently sloping sidewalks that are more manageable for people with disabilities. The project creates a more open view of the EMU and also includes a clear path up to the main entrance of the building. This project's support was due largely to enormous efforts on the part of the ASUO, the user group, the consultant, and the general contractor working in very complementary and productive ways. Source of funds: student incidental fees.

The Lillis Hall/Gilbert Hall Additions and Alterations Project represents the final stage of the Campus Development Project. It relieved some of the need for general classroom space on campus.
The newly configured Lillis Business Complex, which houses the Lundquist College of Business in four separate, linked structures, connects the UO's west entrance to the Memorial Quadrangle. Its prominent location and Gilbert Hall's historic role as the first element of what became the Memorial Quadrangle (listed on the National Register of Historic Places) give it pivotal importance both on the campus map and in campus history.
This project is the first comprehensive addition and alteration project for Gilbert Hall in nearly 50 years. Since the center bridge connector (commonly referred to as the "Commonwealth Bridge") was opened in 1952, this building complex has been expanded and remodeled, but always without a comprehensive study of the long-range needs of the College of Business.
The project created a unified facility that fosters interaction among students and faculty and supports teaching and learning in the classroom, in self-directed teams, and in internships. It gives the College state-of-the-art teaching and support facilities, a new look and a new front door onto the campus that it and the rest of the university can be proud of.

The second stage of the Campus Development Project was the renovation of the former Law School building for university classroom and office use by the College of Arts and Sciences and other departments, including public interface components of University Computing.
The renovation of McKenzie Hall (formerly called Grayson Hall) included the creation of new, state-of-the-art classrooms and offices in former library space, improvements to existing classrooms, creation of computer labs and seminar rooms, and other interior remodeling. It also included improvements to accessibility, entrances, approaches, and the existing courtyard.
The first floor continues to provide space for existing classrooms; University Computing maintains a documents room and a general university computer lab. Its software consultants, Help Desk, and computer repair programs are also housed on this floor. Existing classrooms and lecture halls on the first floor have been enhanced to support a wider range of teaching styles and methods.
Two of the building entrances have been modified to provide an improved connection with the university, orienting the building toward the rest of campus. The university contracted separately with Cameron McCarthy Gilbert & Scheibe, landscape architects, to design these improvements.
The second floor was remodeled for the department offices of History and Ethnic Studies. The original moot court has become a film studies classroom; the law library space has been converted to new flexible media-equipped classrooms, and the original lecture halls have been improved with better lighting, enhanced acoustics, and provisions for multimedia presentation.
The third floor has remained faculty offices and includes a faculty lounge, seminar rooms, GTF offices, a GTF lounge and a classroom. Open spaces have been made into shared commons.
Three new seminar rooms, a multi-use classroom, and the Social Sciences Instructional Laboratory were built on the fourth floor, as well as space for the Oregon Survey Research Laboratory.

The signage improvements project at the Southgate entrance is the last of three priority entrance signage projects proposed by a review of campus signage several years ago. The other two locations are Westgate, where signs were installed last fall, and the corner of Franklin Boulevard and Agate Street, where a large "University of Oregon" sign was installed in the spring of 1998.
Southgate improvements augment other University Street improvements made in recent years and serve as both a welcome gateway and means of orientation. The design contains elements of the existing Westgate (13th and Kincaid) with differences in materials to reflect the immediate context. The Southgate design replaced the previous light standards with taller, more massive lighting elements similar in style to the Westgate design. A bronze, interlocking block 'UO' is embedded in brick pavement across the entrance.

Sustainable Development Plan
Project Planner: Christine Thompson
The university has prepared guidelines for campus sustainable development that have been adopted as part of the Long Range Campus Development Plan. The Campus Planning Committee believes that the University of Oregon should be a world leader in creating and maintaining an environmentally sustainable institution. The University should set examples in the design, construction, and operation of the campus, the management of its fiscal and human resources and the actions of its faculty, staff, and students.
The Sustainable Development Plan was prepared by the Development, Policy, Implementation, and Transportation (DPIT) Subcommittee of the Campus Planning Committee as directed by the university president. It was reviewed and approved by the Campus Planning Committee at a public hearing October 5, 2000. The plan became effective February 15, 2001 when the University received notice that the City of Eugene had determined the "sustainable development" pattern to be consistent with the Area Metro Plan.
