On-Campus Housing
On-campus housing improves student performance, reduces academic costs, adds to the overall housing supply, and intentionally connects and engages students with the University of Oregon.
Over the next 20 years, the University of Oregon is planning more high-quality, learning-centered residential communities on campus that are compatible with surrounding neighborhoods, provide a gentle transition between higher and lower intensity uses, and serve our growing student community.
To plan a variety of housing types that meet the needs of first-year students, undergraduates, graduates, and families, the UO has updated the 2003 East Campus Plan and is moving forward with a plan for long-term housing and infrastructure. View the Next Generation Housing Plan to learn more:

Temporary road closures: During work hours between approximately July 28 and August 25, Columbia Street from 17th Ave to north of the UO Central Kitchen will be closed for utility improvements in the right of way. Improvements include a new sanitary line and new storm line from 17th Ave to the existing sanitary line in Moss Alley.
From August 11 to August 25 both Columbia Street and 17th between Columbia and Moss Alley will be impacted. During that time, access to the Central Kitchen will need to utilize Moss Alley from 19th. This is scheduled to take place during the slowest time of the year for Central Kitchen deliveries, and efforts are being made to limit traffic to 19th as much as possible. Trucks will be instructed to travel to and from Moss Alley on 19th via Agate Street.
Hours of work are 7 am - 5 pm, Monday - Friday.
