Condon School move starts trend

The physical plant worker sets
down the last box and mops his
brow. All of the programs moving
into Condon School are settled in,
but his work has just begun.
All over campus the leasing of
Condon School has set the wheels
of moving vans in motion, keep
ing four to six physical plant
movers busy all summer and pro
bably through most of the fall.
“This is the largest series of
moves we've had to make," says
Lyle Hall, space analyst in the
Physical Plant. "In the next several
months we'll be running our tails
off."
Condon School is the new
home for the education college's
microcomputer center, which
helps train students, teachers and
administrators to use computers;
architecture studios currently
located in pre-fabricated World
War II buildings on Agate Street;
ERIC Clearinghouse on Educa
tional Management, an education
resources information library now
housed in the main library; Career
Information Service; and the com
puter labs of the Continuation
Center. The Housing Department
will also be able to use the gym,
auditorium and kitchens.
The move into Condon has
been gradual, according to Paul
Holbo, vice provost. First, some
remodeling had to be done tQ ac
commodate the computers.
The University first indicated its
interest in leasing the school
*vhen it became empty due to
Enrollment drops in the Eugene 4J
School District. At its June
meeting, the State Board of
Higher Education approved the
University's request to lease Con
don Magnet Arts School.
The University will rent the
60-year-old building located
across from Hayward Field for
$50,000 a year for two years, with
the option to apply. rental
payments to a purchase price.
“We are paying for the building
in a scrape-the-bottom-of-the
bucket way," Holbo says.
The departments housed at the
school will pick of part of the
$118,000 operating expenses of
the school. The rest of the cost
will be payed by dropping the
Condon Magnet Arts School
lease to the University's building
at 1590 Willamette and through a
$35,000 supplement to the Univer
sity's state budget.
But leasing Condon School
won't leave gaps of empty space
around University buildings.
First, the Northwest Regional
Resources center in the Univer
sity's facility at 1590 Willamette
had to be accommodated on cam
pus since that lease was dropped.
The center will move into space in
the library.
A specialized training program
in special education that also is at
the Willamette location will move
into the education building.
And the moving bug has bitten

other departments as well.
The Chancellor's Office, now in
Johnson Hall, PLC and Chapman
Hall, will move into Susan Camp
bell Hall, allowing the Chancellor
to consolidate all of his offices
under one roof.
The computer science depart
ment, which is in the basement of
PLC, will be able to expand to use
the offices vacated in PLC.
The University relations office,
composed of programs like Old
Oregon magazine, the University
News Bureau and the University
Foundation, will move into
Johnson Hail.
The publications department,
which is responsible for the
catalog and time schedules, will
move into Chapman Hall.
Career Planning and Placement,
currently in Susan Campbell Hall,
will switch to Hendricks Hall
where Career Information Service
used to be.
Even after all of the moves have
been made, the University will still
lack space, says Holbo.
"The campus is terribly over
crowded," says Holbo. Now it
may be terribly confusing to find
some University offices.
