University Housing — like this family unit — offers low rent and community living to students who
are married or single parents.
Housing fills couples' needs
By Steve Maher
Of the Emerald
Married students can't live in the dormitories.
Married students can't live in Greek houses. But
they can live in the University family housing
areas.
Eligibility at the family housing areas of
Amazon, Westmoreland and East Campus is bas
ed on undergraduate or graduate full-time stu
dent status, and residents must be either married
or single parents, says Sue Tamiesie, director of
family housing.
"They are a good attraction for the University
to offer to both undergraduate and graduate
students," Tamiesie says.
Students pay $111 a month for one bedroom
and $140 a month for two bedroom apartments at
Westmoreland, $116 a month to rent a two
bedroom apartment at Amazon and between
$120-$350 a month to rent at East Campus, depen
ding on the size and condition of the unit.
One problem arises when students don't
carry a full class load, either because they are
unaware of the requirement or because they have
reduced their course load during the term,
Tamiesie says.
"If we get reports that we have people who
are not eligible living with us, we send out notices
and ask them to come in and prove their eligibili
ty," she says.
The income from rent money keeps the family
housing areas financially sound, Tamiesie says.
"All of housing has to be self-supporting and
self-liquidating," she says. "We get no tax dollars
at all. The money we spend is from rent money."
Some of that money has been directed toward
Amazon, which is undergoing a $900,000 renova
tion program. Along with painting half the
buildings this summer and half next summer, the
renovation includes new storm windows and
foundation repair.
The 242 units of Amazon were deteriorating in
the late 1970s when the housing department
brought in an architect to do a study on the
complex.
“He told us in 1979 that with the kind of
renovation we have put in — and that we are con
tinuing to put in — that it could easily last another
30 years," Tamiesie says.
The East Campus family housing area, a con
glomeration of 119 houses and apartments in the
blocks between Villard and Agate Streets, also has
benefitted from recent renovation.
"We've converted most of the old sawdust
buying furnaces over there (East Campus),"
Tamiesie says. "We've also done a lot of work on
bathrooms because some of those homes are
1920s homes with 1920s bathrooms. We'll be pain
ting 30 units this summer and right now we're in
the midst of participating in the EWEB energy
buyback program and having all the electrical
homes over there insulated."
The most obvious advantage of East Campus
is its proximity to the University. But it also fills
another — and perhaps greater — need for the
University community by having residences large
enough to house families with more than a few
children, Tamiesie says.
Built in the early 1960s, Westmoreland is the
largest of the family housing areas. It offers child
care facilities and two computer rooms for
University computer students.
The residents of the 408-unit Westmoreland
complex are hampered by the four miles that
separate the complex from the University,
lamiesie says. Although some people like being
removed from the noisy campus area, most have
to utilize either public transportation or a bike to
reach the University.
"We all know that riding your bike year round
in Oregon can get a little messy," Tamiesie says.
Tamiesie says a special kind of community
support is the strongest drawing card at both
Amazon and Westmoreland.
"They offer something special, because
everyone in those communities tend to be in the
same boat."
