Abstract
Eugene Civic Stadium is a multi-use athletic facility located in Eugene, Lane County, Oregon. Built in 1938, "Civic" has been continuously used as a municipal athletic facility since its completion, and is currently being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. The 41 School District, the original and current owner, is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of one of Eugene's most beloved historic properties~ however, Civic was declared surplus in 2003 and little or no funds have been appropriated for maintenance and repairs to the site since.
This terminal project will provide a complete history and a historic structures report addressing essential life-safety concerns. A preservation plan will focus directly on financial incentives available to publicly owned institutions. The preservation plan will incorporate green technologies in an effort to emphasize the role of historic preservation within the sustainability movement, and to assist in making Eugene Civic Stadium financially self-sustaining.
