University Hall (University of Oregon)
University Hall (University of Oregon)

University Hall, formerly Deady Hall, is a historic building located in Eugene, Oregon, United States. It was built from 1873 to 1876 by W. H. Abrams to a design by architect William W. Piper. It was the University of Oregon's first building, and remained the university's only building for almost ten years after its construction. After the university gained other buildings, it was known simply as the "Old Building", but in 1893 it was renamed "Deady Hall" in honor of Matthew Deady, Oregon's first federal judge. Ironically, Deady believed that state universities were of little use to anybody, and in 1857, during the Oregon Constitutional Convention, Deady moved to strike the section authorizing a university from the Oregon State Constitution. His efforts were initially successful, although by the 1870s a state university had become inevitable, and the building that bears his name was constructed in spite of Deady's earlier objections. In another twist of fate, Deady was first president of the university's Board of Regents.University Hall is variously described as simplified Italianate with Second Empire details or simply as Second Empire (though not as elaborate an example as Villard Hall). This building was listed on National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It and nearby Villard Hall were together designated as one National Historic Landmark in 1977.At the Oregon Constitutional Convention in 1857, Matthew Deady had advocated for discrimination towards African-Americans, who were not allowed to settle in the new state. Because of these views, Deady Hall became a target of an effort to remove his name from the building. On June 10, 2020, UO President Michael Schill sent a letter to the Board of Trustees recommending renaming Deady Hall because of Deady's racist views. On June 24, 2020, the University of Oregon's Board of Trustees announced that the name "Deady" would be removed as the name of the hall until a date when a new name can be chosen. In the interim, the hall will be named "University Hall."

Collier House (University of Oregon)
Collier House (University of Oregon)

Collier House is a historic landmark building located in Eugene, Oregon, United States. It was built in 1886 by George Collier, a physics and chemistry professor at the University of Oregon, and his two sons to his own design. It was originally built as his residence but was sold to the university in 1893, when it joined University and Villard halls as the third building on the fledgling campus. It lies on the corner of University Street and 13th Avenue. Over the years the Italianate building has served as a dormitory, the university president's residence, the school's library, the faculty club, offices, a meeting space, and a restaurant and pub. As of autumn 2015, the building is used as classroom, office, and performance space by the musicology and ethnomusicology department in the School of Music and Dance.In October 2018, it was announced that the university would be looking to build a new 60,000-square-foot classroom and faculty office building, and was exploring various sites on campus. One was the site of the Collier House, located on the corner of University Street and 13th Avenue. On October 19, the Campus Planning Committee voted unanimously to recommend the current Collier House site as the location of the new classroom building. McArthur Court and the parking lot across the street from Prince Lucien Campbell (PLC) Hall were the other two options. Due to the Collier House being a Eugene historic landmark structure, the university had to approve a new location to move the building to, rather than simply tear it down. On November 27, the Campus Planning Committee voted 9–1 to approve the Gerlinger Hall lawn as the new location for the Collier House. The exact location will be on the Eastern edge of the large lawn, near the intersection of University Street and 15th Avenue. The house will be moved sometime between 2019 and 2021, as construction of the new classroom building is slated to be complete in 2021.
