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:

Construction Updates - as of December 15, 2025
Next Generation Housing Phase 1 Residence Hall
- Construction of residence hall will be completed Summer 2027
- Future location south of 17th Avenue between Columbia and Moss streets (map)
Tower crane is in place. Current activities include excavation and installation of footings and columns, below ground utilities, concrete, and walls. Expect to see and hear forklifts, excavators, and trucks on and going to and from site.
Construction operation schedule for noisy activities is M-F, 9 am – 6 pm.
Safety notice: We know it can be fun for all, young and old, to watch the big trucks and equipment at work. However, please keep in mind that visibility is often limited for truck and equipment operators. Please enjoy the view from a safe distance; watching from across the street can be a great way to stay safe while still enjoying the action. For a construction map, including entrances to the site where watching from a safe distance is especially important, click here.
Road closures updates:
Moss Alley between E. 17th Ave. and the UO Central Kitchen is now permanently closed.
Temporary Road Closures: Starting as early as December 2025, privately engineered public improvement project coordinated with the City of Eugene to install new utilities will require a series of temporary road closures. Timelines for these closures are subject to change due to unpredictable material delivery dates, inclement weather, efforts to mitigate traffic impacts, and the completion of preceding phases of the project on time.
Work will progress through the highlighted area depicted on the map shown above and linked here. Streets will be back-filled regularly and plated to keep the public roads open as much as possible. The yellow-highlighted area on the map is the initial area to be impacted, starting in December and running through February, and the red-dotted area shows the entire project area that will be impacted.
NOTE posted Dec. 15, 2025: The work described below will not start until January 2026 and the phases of work may change in order of completion. This information will be updated as soon as new dates are known.
- 17th Avenue will have periodic closures east of Columbia Street. Local traffic will still be able to use Columbia Street north and south of 17th Avenue, with access to 17th Avenue from Agate Street.
- Columbia Street from 17th Avenue to the south end of the Central Kitchen will have street work done in small sections on the west side of the street to allow for local one-way traffic with the support of flaggers and regular back-filling.
- 17th Avenue west of Moss Street will be completely closed at times between Agate and Columbia Streets. Local traffic will still be able to access Columbia Street north and south of 17th Avenue from the east.
- Summer 2026: There will be one-lane traffic on Agate Street at 17th Avenue. The work will be done in 3-4 phases so that activities will never fully close Agate Street or eliminate local traffic access.
Updates on Spring and Summer work will be published once dates are confirmed.
