development without disturbing the
interred remains.
The plan, drafted by urban design
er Lawrence Lackey and his associ
ates, aimed to build structures over
the existing grave sites to preserve
the cemetery while still allowing for
University development.
Ramey was amused that someone
had actually been paid money to
draft such an idea and said the plan
was scratched before ever gaining
momentum.
Lackey’s plan focused specifically
on detailing the University’s future
development. Exact projects were
mapped out and decided on years in
advance, an idea that proved not to
work, something Ramey said is
exemplified in Lackey’s plans for
the cemetery.
“Faculty said ‘there had to be a
better way,’” Ramey said.
The failing of the Pioneer Ceme
tery development plan led to the
formation of an entirely new outlook
on campus planning, detailed in the
Oregon Experiment of 1973.
The Oregon Experiment was a col
laborative effort between the Universi
ty and the Center for Environmental
Structure. The plan calls for an ongo
ing planning process that steers away
from specifically mapping out building
and development plans for the future.
University Vice President for Ad
ministration Dan Williams said even
if Clark had not made the promise
that he did, the University is more
interested in buying new land for
development than financing the
purchase and relocation of a more
than 125-year-old cemetery.
Though the proximity of the
cemetery makes it a valuable piece
of land to the University, Williams
said the cost of buying and moving
the cemetery outweighs the benefits
that could come from it.
“The cost-benefit financially isn’t
there,” Williams said.

when University officials were considering purchasing the site for development purposes.
