Additions to the University of Oregon campus totaling
. $6,085,000 are planned during the next five to six years,
with a $600,000 Journalism building first on the agenda!
accoiding to figures released by J. O. Lindstrom, Univer
sity business manager.
"Just looking around the campus and seeing the old
journalism building, McClure hall, men’s pool, and Em
- erald hall, is sufficient to convince people of our need for
these new buildings,” said I. I. Wright, head of the physi
cal plant.
. Six new buildings for the University at present have
top priority for state funds and are expected to be ap
proved when the state legislature meets July 1, Lindstrom
* said. Construction of the new journalism building prob
ably will begin shortly and will be completed in about one
year, according to Wright.
Awaiting approval by the state legislature are funds to
build the journalism building, architecture school expan
sion, school of dentistry building in Portland, swimming
pool addition to the men’s physical education building, an
armory replacing the present ROTC building and drill
shed, and a new administration building replacing Em
erald hall.
A new $1,650,000 men’s dormitory, housing about 350
men and located east of John Straub hall, is planned some
time between 1955 and 1957. Also planned then are a new
women’s physical education building and additions to
Condon and Chapman halls.
The journalism building will be constructed on the site
now occupied by McClure hall. Together with the present
journalism building to be remodeled, it will house journal
ism classrooms, faculty offices, Emerald editorial and ad
vertising offices and the University Press printing and
mimeographing faciliting.
University Press equipment will be housed in the base
ment of the new building and the Multigraph section will
occupy several rooms of the basement level of the present
journalism building. Emerald offices, teletype room, copy
editing and advertising classrooms will be housed on the
third floor.
Preliminary architect’s plans arc completed for the
addition to the architecture and art school adjoining the
old heating plant and the present architecture building,
Wright said. The new wing will include studios, class
rooms, and faculty office space.
Construction of a new men’s pool housed in an addition*
to the men's physical education building on the area now
occupied by the ROTC drill shed will begin as soon aifc
fnuds are available and plans are ready, according to*.
Wright. Costing approximately $340,000. it will include*
a 42’ x 75' pool and seating for approximately 1.000 spec
tators. The pool will be adjacent to the present showers,
and locker room.
Federal, state and athletic department funds will ba,
combined to finance an $S00,00O armory, replacing the
present ROTC building and drill shed. No plans have been
formulated as yet for this structure.
A new $660,000 administration building is tentatively
planned for the corner of 11th and Kincaid, however a
site next to Johnson hall, is still being considered, Lind
strom said. The structure will house administrative offices
now in Emerald hall, which is a temporary building move<V
from Camp Adair after World War II.
