Using information from an Oregon University System study, Facilities Services created the Facility Condition Index, which provides a breakdown of the vari ous conditions of campus buildings based on how "worn out" each building is. According to the index, as of Dec. 2003, Susan Campbell Hall and Condon I lall rank lowest in the facility condition hierarchy, while the Knight Law Cgnter and Streisinger Hall rank the highest. Susan Campbell Hall, which houses OUS Chancellor Richard Jarvis's Uni versity office, was built in 1921.

He added that the deferred cost of all uni versities in the OUS has reached about $500 million. Condon Hall's total deferred costs add up to more than $5.5 million, ac cording to the index. Parts of the building are in need of cooling sys tems, but not everyone seems to mind. Mary Milo, geography department and graduate secretary, has worked on the bottom floor of Condon for four years, and she said she prefers fresh air. "1 like the building because the windows open," she said, adding that she likes the old-fashioned style of the building as well. "It has its own charm," she said.
