13 buildings rank ‘poor’ in shape
Due to a lack of adequate
repair funds in past years,
several campus buildings
need millions for repairs
By Chelsea Duncan
News Reporter
It's no secret that some buildings on
campus are a bit run-down, but according
to University Facilities Services evaluations,
13 of the 36 major educational buildings
are in "poor" or "very poor" condition.
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. Accord
ing to the index, its total deferred main
tenance cost is almost $2.5 million, due
in part to a portion of its asbestos-shin
gled roof that needs to be replaced.
Facilities Services Campus Opera
tions Director George Hecht said the
main reason so many buildings have
gone downhill is because there were

no capital repair funds in the econo
my of the '80s and '90s.
"The campus as a whole accumu
lated a lot of worn-out parts and
pieces, "he said.
Overall, the University has built up
about $ 125 million in deferred main
tenance costs, which is the amount it
would take to completely repair every
building on campus, Hecht said. 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.
Hecht said it is difficult to maintain,
the condition of the buildings with
current state budget cuts, and things
