University to request funds
■ There are 32 projects in
need of funding from the
Oregon University System
By Jessica Blanchard

The University has compiled a
$98.6 million “wish list” for campus
construction in the next three years,
including a $22 million renovation
and addition to the College of Edu
cation and $32 million to build a
five-story Integrative Information
Science complex between Franklin
Boulevard and Deschutes Hall.
“We’re looking at the next gener
ation of capital construction,” said
Allan Chung, a planning associate
and space analyst with the Univer
sity planning office. “These are
projects we’d like to do that are not
funded or being constructed yet.”
Master-plan studies for the Uni
versity Health Center building and
the EMU are also on the list of capi
tal construction budget requests
for the next three bienniums, ac
cording to documents from the
University Planning Office.
The list of construction projects
contains three categories: education
and general projects, housing rev
enue-bond projects and student-fee
funded projects. The top 11 projects
overall will be included in the list
for the 2001-2003 biennium that the
University will present to the Ore
gon University System State Board
of Higher Education by March 1,
said Chris Ramey, director and ar
chitect for the planning office.
Projects on the 2001-2003 list in
clude expanding' the music school,
adding undergraduate classrooms
and labs around campus, building
an international studies/foreign lan
guages building and expanding the
Architecture and Allied Arts Li
brary and Eugene Millrace facilities.
There are 32 projects on the ex
tended list, which includes pro
Campus construction in Oregon
Over the last decade, the UO received the biggest part of the $62,202,573 student
fees pool from OUS universities to fund some campus construction projects.

posed construction projects for the
next seven years.
Each of the seven universities in
the system will send their con
struction proposals to OUS, which
is slated to review, prioritize and
select projects for its own “.wish
list,” that it will present at the next
session of the state legislature.
Until the legislature provides
funding, the University can’t begin
construction, Chung said.
Last June, the University Plan
ning Office asked the University
deans and directors to submit pro
posals for campus construction
projects that required little state
funding or had the potential to find
donors to match funds, Ramey said.
“The state legislature has been
very stingy to universities asking for
money for building projects in the
last few years,” Ramey said. “All the
money the legislature has allocated
for the last three sessions has been
required to be matched up dollar for
dollar with gift money. ”
Twelve of the construction proj
ects in the budget would be partial
ly or completely funded by student
building fees, and are therefore re
viewed and prioritized by a stu
dent committee.
“We decided what our objectives
would be before we saw the propos
als,” said J.R. Fitzpatrick, ASUO
University Affairs Coordinator and
chair of the Student Building Fee
Allocation Committee. The com
mittee prioritized the proposals by
their urgency, whether they en
hanced fbe student population and
promoted cultural and physical de
velopment, and if the department or
division of the school had received
funds recendy, Fitzpatrick said.
“We had to be realistic in our ex
pectations,” he said. “So we’re fo
cused on doing some master plans.
It shows the university system that
there’s a plan of attack. ”
Fitzpatrick pointed to the recent
renovation of Esslinger Hall as an
example of a well-thought-out pro
posal that received OUS funding.
“It’s kind of sticky, but we’re try
ing to make the best of a situation
with limited money,” Fitzpatrick
said. “We want to be able to do as
much as possible.
