Oregon State University report to the Getty (Website)

Established in 1868 as Oregon's first land grant institution, Oregon State University acquired its current name in 1927. Little remains of the nineteenth-century campus, but the University retains many of the characteristics of the 1909 Olmsted Brother's plan designed to promote "architectural harmony." Spanning 570 acres, the campus boasts Romanesque-Richardsonian and Neoclassical buildings, balanced by campus quads, pedestrian paths and tree-lined streets. Thirteen of the campus' buildings are listed locally by the City of Corvallis. Grant funds will support the creation of a comprehensive Historical Preservation Plan.

Oregon State University received a Getty grant in 2006 for $190,000 to support campus heritage planning.
