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:
Next Generation Housing Development Plan
January 2025 Update
Campus and East Campus Plans Approved: The university has completed updates to the Campus Plan and East Campus Area Plan based on the long-term vision in the Next Generation Housing Development Plan. A Campus Planning Committee public hearing was held on October 29, 2024, and on December 13, 2024, the committee voted 11-2 in favor of recommending approval to the president. The 2024 East Campus Area Plan and a summary of the amendments to the Campus Plan can be accessed using the links below:
Phase 1 and 2 Residence Halls: Two 800-bed residence hall projects are in the design process. Phase 1 is planned to be completed by Fall 2027; Phase 2 is planned to be completed by Fall 2028. The Campus Planning Committee will review the project designs at the end of the schematic design phase.
A right-of-way vacation (transfer of ownership from city to university) for the portion of Moss Alley adjacent to university-owned property is necessary to build the Phase 1 residence hall. The application was submitted to the City of Eugene on December 24, 2024, and is in completeness review by the City through at least the beginning of February. A public hearing at a Eugene City Council meeting will take place in late winter/early spring; more details will follow.
The vacation of Moss Alley will impact the current traffic circulation pattern of trucks delivering items to UO's Central Kitchen facility on Moss Street. View the new Central Kitchen truck traffic circulation plans using the link below (updated March 14, 2025):
