OHSU Campus Planning, Development, and Real Estate records

This collection encompasses a range of documentation pertaining to the master planning of the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) campus, along with the development and management of the university's real estate.

It is organized into three main series: the Master Plan series, which includes comprehensive documents detailing the strategic planning and development framework for the OHSU campus; the Assorted Leases and Property series, containing agreements for buildings and parking lots leased or rented by OHSU; and the 1400 NW Compton Property series, which includes documents specific to the property located at 1400 NW Compton Drive in Beaverton, OR.

The first series, "Master Plan," focuses on campus planning and the development of policies and frameworks to grow the campus. There are traffic studies, framework ideas, conditional use permits, and exterior policy drafts heavily featured. The second series is "Leases and property agreements," primarily property OHSU leased from other businesses when space was minimal on campus. Office space and parking lot space is contained here.

The last series, "1400 NW Compton Property," is the most extensive portion of this collection. The property, Located in Beaverton, OR, was obtained by OHSU after merging with the Oregon Graduate Institute (OGI) in 2001. However, the documents in the collection start with OGI’s initial investment in 1983. The property was owned by OGI and many other organizations – forming the Science Park Limited Partnership. The Partnership rented out the office space to numerous tenants over the years including Planar Systems. The collection contains appraisals, financial statements, internal correspondence, operating budgets, insurance, and focuses on the sale process of the building. The land under the building was being leased by another company – adding to the confusion and hardship of the sale. Additionally, the building at 1400 NW Compton is varyingly referred to as The OGI building, The Planar Building, 1400 Compton, the Science Park Building, and the Amberglen Building.

Additional materials in the collection consist of digitized videos three tapes related to the master plan and campus development and poster boards featuring visual presentations related to Marquam Hill.
