PACIFIC LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY HISTORIC RESOURCE INVENTORY: VOLUME I JUNE 2010

PREFACE

Preservationists are the only people in the world who are invariably confirmed in their wisdom after the fact.... John Kenneth Galbraith Presentation to the National Trust for Historic Preservation (1979)

The following inventory was compiled by a small group of researchers who have come to know and appreciate the Pacific Lutheran University campus. This task, at times a soggy venture, was aided by Sheri Tonn, John Kaniss, David Kohler, Kerstin Ringdahl and a host of other PLU members who showed us great good will. While this is only the first part of the Campus Heritage Plan it is the most important and well on its way to completion. All the information is formatted for easy editing and when the final PLU archival research is available we will insert it into the files. This has been an enjoyable.task - we look forward to Volume II and the completion of the Heritage Plan and its incorporation into the Master Plan.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Campus Heritage Plans, a relatively new idea, were created to control the ongoing destruction of historic campuses caused by ill-conceived new construction, unnecessary demolitions and meeting energy requirements. Fortunately, new preservation awareness has coincided with the sustainability movement which recognizes that recycling existing historic buildings is often the most energy efficient solution. WHAT

This document, Volume I, is the resource survey and the basic building block of the Campus Heritage Plan. It includes a summary description and historic evaluation of all the structures on or adjacent to the campus that are used and owned by the University. It contains elements of the final plan such as historic structures maps and some explanations of process that will be used for the final guidelines and have substantial value to the University. VALUE

As an institution of knowledge, PLU can become a leader in the relatively new but growing preservation movement that has become an important part of campus planning. Here are a few ways the Campus Heritage Plan provides value: . •

Identifying

valued

structures

and

features

of the

campus

advance prevents

inadvertent and perhaps irreversible impacts that compromise their historical value. •

Campus Heritage Plans assist in meeting future compliance requirements at the federal, state or local level. Any state action subject to SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act)

•

would require similar cultural resource compliance. Campus Heritage Plans help streamline the project review process, particularly if the plan has been reviewed and concurred with at various levels prior to initiation of a project.

•

Historic designations are often supported by alumni (as acknowledged by the Connect to Place goal, above) and can serve as a public relations tool and a reason for gifting to

• • •

the university, as well as an outreach tool to the broader community. The Campus Heritage Plan will help guide future development in ways that respect stewardship goals outlined in the Master Plan. The rehabilitation of historically significant campus buildings should be recognized as a campus sustainability tool used to meet sustainability goals. The university will strengthen and enhance its image regionally and nationally by embracing preservation as a learning tool and development resource.

NEXT STEPS

The next step is to complete Volume II, an examination all PLU landscape elements, outdoor art work, monuments and study the historic master plans. Once this is done the two volumes of data and information will be the foundation of the Campus Heritage Plan which includes an historic narrative of the PLU campus and guidelines for development. The final plan will become an integral part of the PLU Master Plan which "embraces the past, celebrates the present in strength of community and sets the course for the future of PLU."

INTRODUCTION:

PLU CAMPUS RESOURCE INVENTORY

According to the 2006 Master Plan for Pacific Lutheran University, the campus-founded in 1890includes more than 40 buildings as well as associated landscape and open space. Eleven buildings are more than 50 years old and another 10 buildings will reach that age in the next decade. Therefore, almost half of the structures will reach the 50-year benchmark for defining potential historic properties by 2020. Future growth, revenue sources and curriculum will likely be different than that which guided campus development in the previous century. New concerns include stewardship of the existing campus, the development of sustainable growth and new linkage to the past and to the community. This is an ideal time, as the implementation of the 2006 Master Plan proceeds, to incorporate preservation planning into the PLU long-term property management plan. This document, Volume I, the historic resource inventory, is the basic building block of the Campus Heritage Plan. It includes a summary description of all the structures on, or adjacent to, the campus that are used and owned by the University. Each structure is identified, categorized according to historic significance, located, briefly researched and photographed. The documentation format is the Washington Department of Archeology and Historic Preservation ( DAHP) historic inventory form which provides data base information for all, recorded aspects of the structures. This volume also contains a summarized matrix of all the structures which gives the administration, facilities and the development team an overalll view of the present campus. Volume II, available at a later date, will contain similar documentation of campus Ilandscape, hardscape, art work, and historic master plans. PURPOSE

The motivation to develop a Campus Heritage Plan is warranted for numerous reasons, some practical and some emotional, which all serve to benefit the University over time. The 2006 University Master Plan identified "Ensure Preservation of History" as a main stewardship goal and called for PLU to include preserving and enhancing "places of historic and traditional significance" within the built and natural environment of the campus. The careful oversight of the historic campus willi allow development and growth to better provide educational opportunities as weill as to carry out the PLU mission. The recognition and enhancement of historic resources is also an aspect of a Master Pllan goal related to strengtheni1ng community by a "Connection to Place." Preservation is an aspect of the architectural and natural qualities of the campus that should be protected and enhanced for all these reasons.

PLU HISTORIC RESOURCE INVENTORY JUNE 2010

NEED

In addition to PLU's own institutional, goals, development of a long-term Campus Heritage Pďż˝an will assist in meeting future compliance requirements at the federal, state or local level. Should federal or state capital funding or permits be involved in a future undertaking, federal Section 106 (cultural resource) or Executive Order 0505 requirements must be met for the undertaking to proceed. These requirements in essence require that the effects of an undertaking on historically significant properties be identified and minimized to the extent possible. In addition, any action subject to SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act) would require similar cultural resource compliance. CU'ltural resource protections at the County level are generally not as stringent but may still factor into campus development actions. A Campus Heritage Plan can help streamline the project review process, particularly if the plan has been reviewed and concurred with at various levels prior to initiation of a project. From a more general standpoint, the thoughtful development of a Campus Heritage Plan for the campus will allow a big-picture approach to preservation and development of the campus by providing the identification of buildings, landscaping, and other campus features that would be most suitable for long-term enhancement. The identification and enhancement of historic elements can serve the University on several levels: 1. 2. 3.

By identifying valued structures and features of the campus in advance it can prevent inadvertent and perhaps irreversible impacts that compromise their historical value. It will guide future development projects in ways that respect stewardship goals outlined in the Master Plan. Historic designations are often supported by alumni (as acknowledged by the "Connection to Place" goal, above) and can serve as a public relations tool and a reason for gifting to the university, as well as an outreach tool to the broader community. The rehabilitation of historically significant campus buildings to Secretary of the Interior Standards should also be recognized as a campus sustainability tool and can therefore meet sustainability goals. The creation of a single document that contains all the elements of the campus in a finite form will aid both the facilities and development departments as they work to refine and develop the campus.

Finally, as an institution of knowledge, PLU can become a leader in the relatively new but growing preservation movement of campus planning. By embracing preservation as a learning tool and development resource, the university will strengthen and enhance its image regionally and nationally through reputation and in the presentation of its campus. VOLUME

The first step in the development of a plan to manage historic resources is to identify all resources and give a preliminary assessment of their significance. All structures that belong to PL U are included in this inventory which has been conducted according to the standards set by the Washington DAHP. Inventory forms and a survey report have been completed consistent with the guidelines in "Historic Property Inventory Guide and Database User Manual" and the PLU HISTORIC RESOURCE INVENTORY JUNE 2010

"Washington State Standards for Cultural Resource Reporting." Not all the buildings qualify at the present time for submission to the DAHP. Those that do, with permission from PLU, will be sent along with exported inventory files and pertinent digital images on C D ROM as approved by PLU. In this case, the limits of the PLU Campus were defined and the building information was readily available so the resulting survey is more complete than a typical reconnaissance survey (which would not include items 11-16) . According to DAHP standards, the PL U reconnaissance level survey includes the following for each structure: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

8. 9. 10 . 11 . 12. 13. 14. 15. 16 .

All o f the location information including UTMs for each property inventoried. Surveyor, survey name, and owner information for the property (current and historic) if known. The current use of the building should be noted since it is observable, although historic use does not necessarily need to be researched. All observable architectural information should be completed within the database. The "Description of Physical Appearance" section on the Narrative must be completed. A concise "Statement of Significance", usually related t o the architecture of the building. A Determination of Eligibility based only on the architectural qualities of the structure. Date, or estimate, of construction. Digital image(s) o f the resource, current and historic if readily available. National, State or Local Register status. Ownership information - either historic or current. The historic use of the property. The historic or common name of the property. The architect/engineer/builder. An in-depth "Statement of Significance." A bibliography (unless sources were consulted by the surveyor)

Volume I includes a map of the survey area with all sites marked as well as a compilation of the PL U structures. Summaries of inventoried resources will be included in the report, including, but not limited to, the information contained in the inventory forms for each resource as well as architect, dates and nature of alterations, assessment of integrity and potential significance, and information sources (such as as-built plans and other archival information) . Information summaries by resource will be compiled in a format to dovetail with PLU's existing facilities maintenance records for ease of consultation for planning purposes. SUPPORT

We received support for this survey from the PL U Archives, PL U Facilities Staff and the PL U Development Department. They have provided records, historic photos, maps and drawings for the inventory process. However, the inventory is not static and the intention is to update material as it becomes available, from whatever source. Currently, there is a large archival project underway to assemble information about the building history on the PL U campus. This archival search will be added to the building survey information as it becomes available and will be essential for any National Register nominations. Mapping information that exists from other PLU

HISTORIC RESOURCE INVENTORY JUNE 2010

PLU-funded projects will also benefit the final version of the Campus Heritage Plan by adding consistency to the studies, and reducing the time and cost to replicate the maps. CAMPUS HERITAGE PLAN

Although this inventory of structures (Volume I) is only the first phase for the implementation of an overall Campus Heritage Plan, it provides much of the base information needed to determine the direction for NRHP recommendations and the identification of many important structures and spaces on campus. The other elements required for the plan include a similar study of landscape elements, monuments, and historic campus master and landscape plans (Volume II) and a set of guidelines based on the two volumes of data. These guidelines, if used as an integral part of the Master Plan, will define PLU's identity as an institution today and in the future.

MASTER PLAN + PRESERVATION:

MASTER PLAN GOALS

The PLU 2006 Master Plan developed by MITHUN is based on the University mission statement and which applies four goals within three contexts. Essentially it combines the academic life with the non-academic aspects of education which include socialization and community. The Master Plan maintains that the campus setting can support the mission statement goals. In much the same way, a Campus Heritage Plan supports the goals of the Master Plan while ' . . . . strengthening connections to place and community' and is an essential subset of the Master Plan . Campus Heritage Plans have been most successful when integrated with Master Plans and when not just considered a necessary annoyance or required documentation. Master Plan guidelines should reflect the goals and findings of the Campus Heritage Plan which inevitably reinforces the goals of the University. COMMON GOALS

A Campus Heritage Plan, like the Master Plan, strengthens the connection to the significant places on the University campus by protecting and enhancing the existing historic buildings and landscape as well as reinforcing the unique qualities of Northwest architecture. Preservation is referenced as a subset of the Master Plan's goal of encouraging stewardship and calls for the University to 'Ensure Preservation of History' by preserving places of historic significance for future PLU generations. Another goal shared by the plans is the preservation and enhancement of the upper campus, which can also be used as a model for lower campus expansion. FUTURE N EEDS + PRESERVATION

While much evaluation and analysis has been done for existing buildings to determine what needs to be done, it seems little of this work explicitly takes preservation into consideration at present. In most cases the buildings are not historically significant, yet in other cases preservation input may lead to a reconsideration of otherwise predictable solutions. The historically sensitive alternatives that work as well, may be more cost effective and will preserve the integrity of structure. EASTVOLD + DEMOLITIONS

As the campus plan develops and additional needs or new uses call for remodels, additions and demolition, the preservation plan can aid in decisions and can sometimes provide helpful direction to avoid problems. A case in point is a proposed addition or remodel of Eastvold Hall, one of the most culturally and historically significant buildings on campus, affectionately regarded and fronting on the most significant public space on campus. The initial design disregarded the master plan by placing an oversized circulation tower at the junction of two 'cherished spaces'. Fortunately, later designs have relocated modifications away from what might be the most important historic corner on the campus. As Eastvold renovations and other projects occur, there will likely be calls to replace the existing windows with 'efficient' new

ADDITIONS TO LISTED BUILDINGS: PRESERVATION BRIEF

Beca use PLU is a growing ed u cationa l e nviro n m e nt, m a ny changes and additions w i l l occur to h istoric structu res at P LU. Before the d esign is i n itiated it is worthwhile to kee p in mind the fo l l owi n g cons i d e rations ( c u l l ed from NPS P reservation Brief 14) which co ncern add itio ns to h istoric structu res. The N PS bri ef res ponds to the fact that b u i l d i ngs cha nge over time a nd that when cha nges a re made to an h istoric struct u re they can da mage or d estroy mate rial a nd even cha nge the h istoric cha racte r of the struct u re that made it e l igible i n the first place. Once a few p rese rvation iss ues have been considered, d esign a nd construction, m e a nt to enha nce the use of the b u i l d i ng, " rest with the creative ski l ls of the a rchitect." It is i m po rtant to note that Nationa l Register l isting does n't ass u m e that no cha nges a re poss i ble, or that a l l pa rts of a b u i ld i ng a re eq u a l ly sign ificant. I nstead, the NPS encou rages the owner of a l isted p ro pe rty to fol l ow thes e t h re e co nsiderations fo r new additions: 1.

W h e n a n e w e xterior a d d ition w i l l i nvolve s o m e d egree o f mate rial l oss t o a n exte r n a l wa l l of a h istoric b u i l d i ng, the goa l i s t o m i n i m iz e the l oss a n d have it occ u r i n t h e l east significa nt a rea of the histo ric structure - " prese rvation of h isto ric b u i l d i ngs is e n h a nced by avo i d i ng a l l but m i no r cha nges to primary o r public e l evatio ns. Because sign ifica nt materi a ls and featu res s h o u l d be preserved, not damaged or hidden, the fi rst place to co ns i d e r constructing a new addition is where such materi a l l oss w i l l be m i n i m ized. This w i l l freq u e ntly be on a secondary si de or rea r e levatio n ."

The second co ns i d e ration is whether o r not the new addition w i l l p rese rve the h istoric c h a racter, wh ich, acco rd ing to the N PS is mostly "embodied in the physica l as pects of the h istoric b u i l d i ng itself" meaning the windows, the site, the l a n dscape, the exterior c l a d d i ng, the design featu res, the color and the setting.

The l ast cons ide ratio n is how to p rotect t he h istoric signif ic a nce of a struct u re The N PS states that a new addition "- sho u l d be rea d i ly d istinguisha ble from the o l d e r wo rk; howeve r, the new wo rk s h o u l d be h a rmonious with the old in sca le, p ropo rtion, materia ls, a nd color. Such additions s h o u l d be as i nconspicuous as poss i ble fro m the p u b l ic view."

The cons i d e rations outli ned i n NPS Brief 14 s h o u l d be a pplied to a l l addit io ns for PL U ca m p us b u i l d i ngs except those i n Category IV. Em ploying t h is policy w i l l eventual ly create a more co h es ive ca m p us as the u n iversity contin ues to deve lop its physical resou rces.

Named for Reverend J. U. Xavier who was hired in ca. 1 902 as the resident theologian for Pacific Lutheran Academy. He was born in Norway, and reived his education at Luther Cottege, Luther Seminary and the U niversity of Washington. He became the school librarial upon his arrival. He taught courses in History, Bible, Augsburg Confession, Latin Greek, nutrition, bontany, zoology and library science., Xavier taught until 1 942 including a stretch as acting president in 1 920-2 1 . By 1 936 the lack of a stand alone library threatened PLU's accreditation. The proposed budget was $1 00,000 with $20,000 from Tacoma Residents and businesses were asked for $80,000. O.H. Pankoke served as executive for the Tacoma campagin. J. Philip Weyerhauser Jr. donated $1 0,000 because he believed "in the small Christian College." At the laying of the cornerstone on October 23, 1 937, President Tingelstad stated that Bjug Harstad's original plan for four buildings was now completed. The library was dedicated in May 1 939, but was not futty completed until the late 1 9405. The building is currently used by the Anthropology department as the campus library was moved to Mortvedt after its construction in the 1 960's. Designed in 1 936 by the Tacoma Architect Emanuel J. Bresemann with the architectural firm of Heath, Gove and Bell. The building was constructed from 1 937-1 939, as the firs t dedicated library building on the Pacific Lutheran College campus . The building reflects a high point of integrity and style on campus. The collegiate gothic / jacobean style msonry walled building is a concise architectural statement for the late 1 930's in which it was constructed and appears to have a very high level of integrity George Gove (1 870-1956) was born in Roc hester, Minnesota and pursued his architectural training in Paris. He partnered with Frederick Heath ( 1 86 1 - 1 953) and Herbert Bett ( 1 884-1951 ) . Collectively their work included the Nortwest Masonic home, Paradise Lodge conversion of the Weyerhauser Mansion to Novitiate School of SI. Dominic, a number of buildings at Western State Hospital, two of the buildings erected at the University of Washington, the state hospital at Sedro-Woo'lley and the Lutheran Home at Puyallup.

Description of Physical Appearance

._----

Xavier Hall's is largely intact building, with littfe exterior modification. The stretcher bond brick exterior is original with little if any modification visible on its exterior. The glazed, clay tile shingle roof has changed little since the building was constructed, except for the possibility of a skylight on the North side of the ridge and 3 to the West side of the entrance on the South side of the ridge and t to the East side of the entrance on the South side of the ridge. The building was rehabilitated in the tast 20 years or so. The skylights may be from this time period. By virtue of its ,location Xavier plays a major role in forming several major quads 1 outdoor rooms on the most historic portion of the PLU campus. Hauge administration building borders Xavier on the North, Mortved library is to the Northeast. H arstad Residence Hall is to the East. U niversity Center to the Southeast, Ramstad to the South, Eastvold

Chapel to the Southwest, Hong Residence Hall to the West, and Stu en Residence Hall to the Northwest. In addition several sculptural objects are in the landscape, along with several rectilinear and diagonal paths. Most noticably the campus clock is to the west of Xavier between the building and University Center.

Although the interior of the building has not been investigated as part of this survey. The exterior appears to be largely intact with the exception of the aforementioned skylgihts. Due to their size they have a minor impact on the integrity or damage to historic integrity if they are indeed an addition to the building. Further investigation of historic photographs could clarify whether the skylights are original to the building.

Originally named Chapel, Music, Speech Building it was renamed Eastvold Hall in honor of Seth Clarence Eastvold, President of Pacific Lutheran College from 1 943 until 1 962. He envisioned it as an "imposing chapel-music conservatory in the middle of campus." Ground was broken for the new chapel in 1 949 and the cornerstone was laid for the $625,000 building on June 7, 1 951 . The building included a square section that could be removed from the stage for a baptistery. The chapel was named the Severensen Chapel for Mrs. Mathea Severson of Everett, who was Baptist but had been raised Lutheran. Her picture hung over one of the entrances to the chapel with Christ's picture over the other. lIs completion allowed for compulsory chapel attendance beginning in February of 1 952 because there was finally a large enough facility on campus to hold everyone. Compulsory chapel was required the remainder of S.C. Eastvold's reign at Pacific Lutheran. This remarkably competent blending of styles representing both the Collegiate Gothic and Modern / Art Deco styles was carried out by the Tacoma architecture firm of Lea, Pearson & Richards who would go on to design many buildings on campus. In the 1 955 American Architects Directory, John Greenway Richards lists the Chapel, Music, Speech Building at Pacific College as one of his principal works. The simply detailed masonry, uses cast stone, projecting brick and voids to create a rich architectural detailing. The 4 ground windows at either staircase depict themes of speech, music and singing are all important features and were sandblasted / etched by Earl Robinson of South Tacoma. The i current window configuration is original along with the doors. On the exterior the KPLU antenna is noticeable and apparently an original part of the building. KPLU is a sub rScriber supported public radio station formerly housed in the building. The building was originally equipped with a 3,260 pipe organ that took over a year to construct in SI. Hyacinth Quebec. Eastvold was notable for the acoustic design of the main auditorium as well as the many rehearsal, radio and classroom spaces, which were designed by Donald Loye, a Los Angeles acoustical engineer hired for the building's aco ustical design. Other consultants were Structural Engineer E. L. Strandberg, Mechanical Engineer C.W. May, and Electrical Engineer B.A. Travis; all of Seattle. The electrical contractor for the project was Raymond Electric Company of Tacoma. Lea, Pearson & Richards were a Tacoma architecture firm composed of three partners: Charles Winthrop Lea, Jr. ( 1 903 - 1 990) , Charles Theodore Pearson ( 1 905 - 1 994) and John Greenway Richards ( 1 908 - 1 9857). An award for named for Charles T. Pearson is awarded semi-annually by the American Institute of Architects (AlA) Southwest Washington Chapter; Pearson was one of the founders of the chapter and its third President in 1 958. Pearson was President of the AlA Washington Council in 1 962 and el ected to the college of Fellows of the AlA in 1 973. The office was started in 1 937 and was the largest firm in Tacoma for many decades. The firms work at the Pacific Lutheran

University Campus and nearby include: Memorial Gym ( 1 947), Science Building now named Ramstad ( 1 947), North now named Hong Residence Hall ( 1 954) , Common Hall now named I ngram Hall ( 1 956), West Hall now named Kreidler Residence Hall ( 1 957), Philip E. Hauge Administration Building ( 1 960), Trinity Lutheran Church Sanctuary ( 1 960), Pflueger Hall Residence ( 1 962) , Foss Residence Hall ( 1 965) , Ordal Residence Hall ( 1 967), and Stuen Hall ( 1 966) . I n 1 958, P L U President Seth Clarence and Mrs. Eastvold celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary b y gifting a a n outdoor in-ground swimm ing pool t o t h e school. I t was located between Hinderlie Hall and Eastvold Hal l . It was dubbed "Seth ' s Pool" alld had a bubble shaped plastic roof that could be erected around it during bad weather. The pool has since been removed.

Description of Physical Appearance

Eastvold is bordered on the north by a quad whose borders are defined by Hauge Administration Building, Xavier Hall, Hong Hall and Stuen Hall. On the east it is bordered by Red Square, the dominant quad on campus, and its main entrance is on axis with Harstad Hall. Again Xavier, Harstad, University Center, and Ramstad form the walls of this outdoor room which contains the Rune Stones, Sisters, Centennial Bell sculptures among the many artworks in Red Square and the Anderson Clock Tower. On the south s ide there is path that winds along the steep drop off to Foss Residence Hall and lower campus as well as connecting to Hinderlie Residence Hall. To the West Eastvold has another small quad bordered by Hong and Hinderlie residence halls along with the aforementioned drop off to the south. This 45,900 square foot cruciform , eclectic collegiate gothic building was erected in 1 952. The main form is a 2 story gabled massing running east to west, it terminates i ll a flat roofed solid mass that houses the stage curtain, lighting and scenery related equipment on the west end. The east elevation of this gabled mass provide an entry axis from Red Square with a projecting porch and terrace composed of brick and cast stone detailed masonry. This inset entrance is demarcated by the cast stone entrance and the rose window under the apex of the gable which lights a newer inserted chapel within the building and provides the iconographic symbol used in much of the media produced by t he University. In contrast to the symmetry of the main form, an asymm etrical placed lower 2 story mass runs at perpindicularly to the main mass. Ex1erior entrances to this mass are placed symmetrically about the main mass. Notable features include the four etched glass window incised into the buitding, surrounded by cast stone frames and arranged vertically following the staircase on either side of the building. The building is clad in running bond brick and the gabled roof utilizes asphalt shingles for its cladding. The m ai n form is supported by buttresses, with cast stone caps alternating with vertical fixed windows. A metal clad steeple with a stainless steel crucifix sits on the ridge of the main m ass one bay back from the East end . A combination 6/6 and 2/2 multiple lite operable windows provide light and air to the lower mass. Windows have brick sills and raised brick surrounds. The west elevation contains ventilated brick masonry walled entrance porches and (2) 2 door loading entrances for the stage and attendant scenery shop. Topping the higher mass is the antennae for KPLU, whose station resided in the building from 1 965 to 2006. The interior use has changed little, with the exception of remodeling for the radio station (KPLU) over the years as it expanded. KPLU has recently moved to its own building (2009). Another major change to the interior was the adaptation to the original auditorium I chapel space into a complete black box theater space with new seating risers br<Dught forward in the space to provide for a more intimate theatrical experience. The high vertical windows were also blocked over to prevent exterior light from reaching the inside. The second floor chapel has been walled off from the main performance space. Many of the interventions associated with KPLU outside of the antennae appear to be quite minor in nature. The antennae itself is of light steel truss work I space frame construction and is aesthetically light in counterpoint to the sturdy masonry mass of the building. The insertion of the newer chapel and the reconfiguration of the auditorium into a black box theater appear to have a more significant impact, though at this point the auditorium modifications are largely reversible. The building is still used in keeping with its original intent; the two halves (theater and chapel) of the program working at cross purposes, within the auditorium. In regards to the condition of the building, the masonry is in need of cleaning and perhaps repointing in some areas and the glazing compound in many windows is beginning to show its age with some cracking. In 20 1 0, as originally intended at the time of construction, new copper roofing replaced the existing composition shingles on the main form of the building.

Ramstad hall is significant in that it marks a turning pOint in the architecture on campus away from collegiate gothic and jacobethan styles of its neighbors Xavier and Harstadt Halls with their attendant stout masonry construction towards a modernism of metal and glass seen in the Philip E, Hauge administration building, Constructed just after the end of World War II, the building marks one of the first academic buildings constructed in the post war era, The building capacity was needed for the dramatic increase in students returning to school on the G,1. Bill and the capability of the chemistry department. Lea, Pearson & Richards were a Tacoma architecture firm composed of three partners: Charles W inthrop Lea, Jr, ( 1 903 - 1 990), Charles Theodore Pearson ( 1 905 - 1 994) and John Greenway Richards ( 1 908 - 1 985?), An award for named for Charles T, Pearson is awarded semi-annually by the American Institute of Architects (AlA) Southwest Washington Chapter; Pearson was one of the founders of the chapter and its third President in 1 958. Pearson was President of the AlA Washington Council in 1 962 and elected to the college of Fellows of the AlA in 1 973, The office was started in 1 937 and was the largest firm in Tacoma for many decades, The firms work at the Pacific Lutheran University Campus and nearby include: Memorial Gym ( 1 947) . Science Building now named Ramstad ( 1 947) . North now named Hong Residence Hall ( 1 954), Common Hall now named Ingram Hall ( 1 956), West Hall now named Kreidler Residence Hall ( 1 957) .

Originally named the Tacoma-Pierce Administration Building, it was renamed in honor of Philip E. Hauge, who had served as dean, registrar, academic vice president, and professor from 1 920 to 1 968 and university archivist from 1 968 to 1 970. The Philip E. Hauge building represents the maturity and stability Pacific Lutheran University as a resull of the great expansion in campus population and academic opportunity achieved in the Post-World War II era. The restrained Miesian Modernism of the building reflects conformist corporate culture that predominated many aspects of American life during the early 1 960's. The architectural firm of Lea, Pearson & Richards were responsible for the design of the building along with the majority of the buildings on the upper campus of the University. The elevations reflect a carefully and graphically composed combination of cladding, windows and signage. Originally it also contained classrooms and faculty offices as well. One of the major rooms contained a close circuit tv system to be used as an overflow lecture hall. Lea, Pearson & Richards were a Tacoma architecture firm composed of three partners: Charles Winthrop Lea, Jr. ( 1 903 - 1 990) , Charles Theodore Pearson ( 1 905 - 1 994) and John Greenway Richards ( 1 908 - 1 985?). An award for named for Charles T. Pearson is awarded semi-annually by the American Institute of Architects (AlA) Southwest Washington Chapter; Pearson was one of the founders of the chapter and its third President in 1 958. Pearson was President of the AlA Washington Council in 1 962 and elected to the college of Fellows of the AlA in 1 973. The office was started in 1 937 and was the largest firm in Tacoma for many decades. The firms work at the Pacific Lutheran University Campus and nearby include: Memorial Gym ( 1 947) , Science Building now named Ramstad ( 1 947), North now named Hong Residence Hall ( 1 954), Common Hall now named Ingram Hall ( 1 956) , West Hall now named Kreidler Residence Hall ( 1 957), Philip E. Hauge Administration Building ( 1 960), Trinity Lutheran Church Sanctuary ( 1 960), Pflueger Hall Residence ( 1 962) . Foss Residence Hall ( 1 965), Ordal Residence Hall ( 1 967), and Stuen Hall ( 1 966) .

Description of Physical Appearance

Page 2 of 3

Philip E . Hauge Administration building is a U-shaped building with its courtyard on the north side of the building along 1 2 1 st Street South. It is bordered to the west by a parking lot and Stuen Residence Hall, to the east by the Mortvedt Library and to the south by one fo the great open spaces on campus and Xavier, Ramstad and Eastvold Halls. Masonry Pillars with a glass and metal curtain wall demarcate the perimeter of the building. In the north facing court the central bay at the bottom of the "U" extends into the courtyard. W indowless areas are clad in stacked masonry veneer. The stacked bond brick masonry veneer wall on the south elevation to the west of the main entrance is carefully composed signage with "Pacific Lutheran University, Founded 1 890" counterbalanced with "Philip E. Hauge Administration Building". The lobby beyond the main the main entry is a double heighth space with a glass curtain wall I storefron on the southside and three large globe lamps, visible day and night. Windows, doors and cladding appear to all be original. The only apparent change are the satellite antennae and perhaps HVAC equipment on the roof. Pri nted o n

From National Register Nomination : Begun in 1 89 1 and open for classes in 1 894, Harstad Hall is a large and i m p ressive brick masonry building that dominates the campus of Pacific Lutheran University today in m uch the same manner as it did at the time of its construction. Located in the community of Parkland about six miles south of the center of Tacoma, it remains the most substantial historic structure in the vicinity. Harstad Hall is Significant as the premier building on the campus of Pacific Lutheran University, a major educational institution that evolved from an early academy dedicated to the educationat and cultural needs of the region's Norwegian Lutherans. The structure is also one of the earliest large buildings in Pierce County, and it represents a sturdiness of design and a commitment to permanence that heralded the development of the area. Current Research: A. J. Heide was a noted architect in Western Washingto during the period of Harstad's construction. His other works include the Butler-Jackson House ( 1 91 0) and Snohomish County Courthouse #1 ( 1 897) and #2 ( 1 909) in Everett. Another commission of his in Evererett was the Carnegie Public Library. In association with Emil DeNeuf, Heide is often credited with the Martin D . Ballard House( 1 900- 1 90 1 ) and and the Lohman Building #2 ( 1 902) in Seattle.

Description of Physical Appearance

Page 2 of 3

From National Register Nomination: Harstad Hall (72,000 square feet) is a rigidly symetrical building consisting of a central block of five stories with projecting four story wings to the north and south. Massive roofs add an additional two stories of height to Harstad Hall. The main entrance to the structure is through an arched portal on the east fagade that is ornamented with radiating cast stone vOlcJssoirs. The building's principle floor sits above an elevated basement level and is reached by a wide flight of stairs that descend from the entrance portal to the ground. Tall; flatarch windows are regularly spaced across every elevation. The building is rather severe and few decorative elements enliven the facades. There is a corbelled belt course between the third and fourth floors and the elevated basement windows have vermiculated cast stone quoins. The roof, with its cascade of hipped forms penetrated by hipped dormers, contrasts with Harstad's plain walls and suggests that the architect's inspiration Pri nted on

for the design lay with aspects of Jacobethan Revival styles then gaining popularity for college building. Harstad Hall sits in a pleasant landscaped setting of lawns and trees. Other school buildings are nearby , but in age and scale, Harstad Hall is unique on the Pacilic Lutheran University Campus. Changes to the building have been limited. The most notable is the absence of a large octagonal cupola and its surmounting steeple which was destroyed by fire in 1 942. Earthquake damage resulted in the removal of several carefully executed chimney stacks, and now only those on the south wing survive. Recently, the original two-over-two double-hung sash were replaced with anodized aluminum sash on the ground and first floors, and plastic sash on the remaining floors ; most of the new sash is triple track. In the early 1 960's a small single story brick addition was added to the west side of the building's north wing. This addition has a shingled mansard rool and functions as a recreation room for the dormitory. Interior changes have been few and the plan survives largely intact. Early in its occupancy, the building featured extensive stenciling on ceilings and the walls above the wainscot. An elevator was added in 1 946, and in 1 958, concrete stairwells were built on the north and south ends of the building. While some portions have been modernized, much of the decorative detail remains, and wainscoting, trim, and stairway eternents recall the original appearance.

Mortvedt Library is significant as the second building on campus devoted to being a library, Named in honor of Robert A, L, Mortvedt, Pacific Lutheran U niversity President from 1 962 to 1 969. He presided over the campus as major cultural changes occurred on campus and larger society as whole. Its construction marked an expansion of library capabilities, Designed by Bindon & Wight, the building is one of the few buildings on upper campus not designed by Lea, Pearson and Richards, With its construction in 1 966, it was part of the dramatic Post-World War II expansion of the university that make up the majority of the buildings on campus to serve the Baby Boom generation, Its articulated pre-cast concrete and masonry veneer exterior heralded in the brutalist version of modernism for the campus, The first two floors were orginal, the third floor was added in 1 98687 and designed by Architects from the URS corporation, The architecture firm of Bindon & W right was formed by Leonard W, Bindon ( 1 899-?) and John LeBarron Wright ( 1 9 1 6-?), a successor of Seattle architectural firm , Bebb & Jones , itself a successor to the firm of Bebb & Gould designers for many of the buildings on the University of Washington Campus, including an addition to the U niversity of Washington's Suzzlo Library in 1 963, Other notable buildings included the Music Building at Western Washington College (University) ( 1 939) , by Bindon, The Norton Building ( 1 959) with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and the second downtown Seattle Library ( 1 960), The URS corporation is a multidisciplinary design frim best known for its government and institutional work. Its oldest predessor firm was founded in 1 904, and the firm itself was founded in 1 95 1 and incorporated in 1 957 as Broadview Research, In 1 967 it shifted it services to become a multidisciplinary profess ional services firm ,

It was designed by Lea, Pearson and Richards, who were responsible for designing most of the buildings on Pacific Lutheran University's ( PLU) upper campus, Hinderlie plays a key part with other works by the firm in forming outdoor spaces. Originally designed as a women's only dormitory, the building housed men during the 1 980's and the dormitory went coed in 1 993. Originally named South Hall when it was built in 1 954, the building was renamed Hinderlie Hall in 1 966 to honor Berent and Ragna Hinderlie. In 1 924 Berent Hinderlie joined the staff of PLU as a Janitor and worked for PLU until his retirement in 1 955. The buildings included a novel heating system for each dormitory room which provided independent control of fresh air supply and a personal clothes dryer using a hotwater system. Each dormitory was also furnished with a telephone and tackboards. North (Hong Hall) and South ( Hinderlie) were contstructed at the same time, by the same architect and contractors. Groundbreaking exercises for the new dormitories were held on Founders Day October, 1 953. Dr. Philip E. Hauge, a prominent professor and campus leader delivered the address.

The pool has since been removed .

Description of Physical Appearance

�

Hinderlie Hall is a 34,000 square foot T-sh ped building located on a North-Soulh axis with Ordal Hall and on the edge of upper campus above lower campus. Hong and Kreidle are L-shaped residence halls located on either side of this axis respectively. All four buildings were designed by Lea, Pearson & Richards. The arrangment breaks up this western portion of campus into discrete but connected outdoor rooms. Hinderlie is also bordered by Eastvold to the East, Mary Baker Russell Music Hall to the West along with one of the larger openspaces on lower campus to the south along with Foss Hall.

The building is sheathed in a running bond masonry veneer. The windows appear to be original and are of Aluminum frame and sash construction, with a continous vertical curtain wall at stairwells with storefront type door at the ground level. The building is steel framed with what appear to be bar or similar truss joist. Originally the roofs were flat, but they were covered with a hip roof for practical reasons.

Description of Physical Appearance

29,600 square foot Hong Hall is an L-shaped building located to the east of a North-South axis between Hinderlie and Ordal Halls. Kreidler hall is to the west of the axis and a mirror image of Hong. To the north are Ordal, and Stuen Halls, Hauge to the northeast , Xavier to the east, Eastvold to the southeast, Foss Hall to the far south and Hinderlie to the near south. The arrangement breaks up this western portion of campus into discrete but connected outdoor rooms.

The building is sheathed in a running bond masonry veneer. The windows appear to be original and are of metal frame and sash construction, with a continuous vertical curtain wall at stairwells with a storefront type entry door at the ground level. Originally the roofs were flat, but they were covered with a hip roof for practical reasons.

Originally named West Hall in the spring of 1 966 it was renamed for Lora Bradford Kreidler, after the Dean of Women and teacher for the University from 1 92 1 to 1 943. Kreidler Hall is representative of the dramatic Post World War II expansion that went on at both pub tic and privately owned collegiate educational facilities throughout the United States. Designed by Lea, Pearson and Richards, who were responsible for designing most of the buildings on Pacific Lutheran University's ( P LU) upper campus. Kreidler plays a key part with the other residence halls designed by the firm in this part of campus forming outdoor spaces. Lea, Pearson & Richards were a Tacoma architecture firm composed of three partners: Charles Winthrop Lea, Jr. ( 1 903 - 1 990), Charles Theodore Pearson ( 1 905 - 1 994) and John Greenway Richards ( 1 908 - 1 9857).

Named for Ole Johnson Stuen, born in Oppdal, Norway. Stuen was the first faculty member at the Pacific Lutheran Academy with a graduate degree, a Master in Arts. He t aught mathematics, Norse and was the Librarian. His period of service to the University was from 1 91 3- 1 9 1 8 and 1 92 1 - 1 952. Stuen Hall is one of many examples of the explosive growlh experienced by college campuses, both public and private, in the years following World War I I . This trend spanned multiple generations starting with the returning G . I .'s from World War III and thei r children. Stuen Hall represents the restrained modernism of the late 1 960's, the use of warmer, more textural, traditional building materials including masonry and wood in contrast to the cool sleekness of steel and concrete. The architect of Stuen Hal l , the firm of Lea, Pearson & Richards, were a Tacoma architecture firm composed of three partners: Charles Winthrop Lea, J r. ( 1 903 - 1 990) , Charles Theodore Pearson ( 1 905 - 1 994) and John Greenway Richards ( 1 908 - 1 985?). An award for named for Charles T. Pearson is awarded semi-annually by the American I nstitute of Architects (AlA) Southwest Washington Chapter; Pearson was one of the founders of the chapter and its third President in 1 958. Pearson was President of the AlA Washington Council i n 1 962 and elected to the college of Fellows of the AlA in 1 973. The office was started in 1 937 and was the largest firm in Tacoma for many decades . The firms work at the Pacific Lutheran University Campus and nearby include: Memorial Gym ( 1 947), Science Building now named Ramstad ( 1 947) , North now named Hong Residence Hall ( 1 954), Common Hall now named Ingram Hall ( 1 956), West Hall now named Kreidler Residence Hall ( 1 957), Philip E. Hauge Administration Building ( 1 960), Trinity Lutheran Church Sanctuary ( 1 960), Pflueger Hall Residence ( 1 962) ' Foss Residence Hall ( 1 965) , Ordal Residence Hall ( 1 967), and Stuen Hall ( 1 966). The following subcontractors took part i n the construction of the building : Mechanical Contractor - Allison, I nc . , Tacoma; Electrical Contractor - H&R Wiring, I nc . ; Built-In Furnishings - Tech-Craft, I nc, Tacoma; Furnishings - Spokane Dry Goods, Spokane; Floor Coverings - Selden's, Tacoma; Concrete - Holyroyd and Sound Concrete Contractors, both of Tacoma.

Ordal Hall was named for named for PLU president O.J. Ordal, who served as University President from 1 921 to 1 928. Ordal Residence Hall was one of the later additions to the campus by the architectural firm of Lea Pearson and Richards, the firm responsible for most of the buildings on upper campus. Ordal Hall is reflective of the dramatic growt h of the Pacific Lutheran University's population and their need for housing in the Post World War II era. Ordal Hall's arrangement on the campus plan , appears to be too close to Ingram Hall; this is because a mirrored plan of Stuen was to be placed where I ngram existed. This can be seen on Sheet 1 dated the 1 5 January 1 966 with John Richard's unsigned stamp and found in the archives. The hall was originally designated for female students only. Lea, Pearson & Richards were a Tacoma architecture firm composed of three partners: Charles Winthrop Lea, Jr. ( 1 903 - 1 990), Charles Theodore Pearson ( 1 905 - 1 994) ,and John Greenway Richards ( 1 908 - 1 985?). An award for named for Charles T. Pearson is awarded semi-annually by the American Institute of Architects (AlA) Southwest Washington Chapter; Pearson was one of the founders of the chapter and its third President in 1 958. Pearson was President of the AlA Washington Council in 1 962 and el ected to the college of Fellows of the AlA in 1 973. The office was started in 1 937 and was the largest firm in Tacoma for many decades. The firms work at the Pacific Lutheran University Campus and nearby include: Memorial Gym ( 1 947), Science Building now named Ramstad ( 1 947), North now named Hong Residence Hall ( 1 954), Common Hal l now named Ingram Hall ( 1 956), West Hall now named Kreidler Residence Hall ( 1 957), Philip E. Hauge Administration Building ( 1 960), Trinity Lutheran Church Sanctuary ( 1 960) , Pflueger Hall Residence ( 1 962), Foss Residence Hall ( 1 965), Ordal Residence Hall ( 1 967) , and Stu en Hall ( 1 966). The following design consultants worked with Lea, Pearson & Richards on the design of the building: Structural Engineer - Werner Griessel, Orting; Mechanical Engineer- May & Triolo, Seattle; Electrical Engineer - Beverly Travis & Associates, Seattle; Landscape Designer - Chaffee Zumwalt, Puyallup. The General Contractor for the project was Absher Construction Company of Puyallup; Mechanical Contractor - Pease & Sons, Tacoma; Electrical Contractor - Totem Electric, Tacoma. Other sub-contractors included: Floor Coverings - Seldens, Tacoma; Painting - C & C Painting Tacoma; Tile - Pacific Terrazzo; Furniture - Spokane Dry Goods; Masonry - William Henson, Seattle, Millwork - Tech Craft Tacoma; Glass & Partitions - F'entron Industries, Seattle; Hardware - Pacific Hardware, Tacoma; Excavation - Stacey Benson & .

An earlier scheme for a music building was put together in 1 983-1 984 by the nationally recognized firm of Perkins and Will. I n 1 984 Perkins and Will wond the Progressive Architecture First Design Award for this project, the highest design award in the U.S. Financing for this project was dependant on an Olin Foundation Grant, which the schoold didn't receive. Since its construction in 1 994 the building has hosted many music programs and campus religious programs in Lagerquist Concert Hall. The building was designed by Zim mer Gunsul Frasca (ZGF) a well known architectural firm in the Pacific Northwest, known for its corporate and institutional work. On the PLU campus, ZGF was also responsible for the Morken Center to the southwest of the Mary Baker Russell Hall. Like many of the other buildings on campus the building has an austere simplicity, yet details form a coherent whole. The form echoes many classical and historic precedents, but uses a modern detail vocabulary. Named for Mary Baker Russell, the sister of Tacoma News Tribune Publisher, Ebert Baker II and the mother of George Russell the CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Frank Russell Company of Tacoma, and her Daughter- In-Law Jane Russell who is also an executive at the Frank Russell Co and a member of the PLU board of Regents. Ground for the facility was was broken on September 1 0, 1 995. The Lagerquist Concert Hall space is one of the more significant interior spaces on campus and hosts many musical and religious programs throughout the year. It houses the Gottfried and Mary Fuchs Organ, the largest all-mechanical organ i n a university setting on the West Coast. The organ was built by world-renowned organ builder and Parkl and native Paul Fritts. It is named in memory of Margaret Lagerquist, the wife of PLU regent George Lagerquist. In addition Mary Baker Russell Muic Center has glass artwork along its east windows on the main floor by Dale Chihuly, an internationally renowned artist from the Tacoma area.

Description of Physical Appearance

The 45,000 square foot Mary Baker Russell Music Center is clad in running bond brick veneer. Every seventh row a lighter course of brick breaks up the mass of the wall. The building has two raised gable forms, arranged perpindicular with each other and connected by a hip roofed lower mass, with an ampitheater in the east facing courtyard. Mary Baker Russell Hall, like University Center, connects upper and lower campus. The building is to the north of Rieke Hall, and to west of Kreidler and Hinderlie Halls. The main music periormance and chapel space within the building, Lagerquist Hall, has a pipe organ and is notable for the articulated structure both in the form of ceiling beams and double pilasters projecting from the walls. Between the pilasters are heavy acoustical cu rtains that can be raised or lowered to tune the space, enabling optimization of the spaces acoustics.

United States President Richard Nixon ( 1 9 1 3 - 1 994) and his assistant, Tacoma native John Ehrlichman ( 1 925- 1 999) were invited to the November 8, 1 970 Dedication; Ehrlichman accepted the invitation. Ehrlichman was convicted and spent a year and a half in prison for crimes related to the Watergate scandal. The building was estimated at $2,500,000 and the original bids came in at $3,000,000. Designed by the firm Bindon & Wright, University Center reflects a moment in history where both the architecture and the culture were going through dramatic changes. The colored concrete walls and cladding soften what would otherwise be an imposing mass. The arched entrance to the Cave echoes works by the Romans, Wright, H.H. Richards and Sullivan. The building is home to the Scandinavian Center, an important organization at a University founded by Norwegians and other Scandinavians. On the east side of the building a Viking like boat hull relates back to the school's Scandinavian heritage. While the building is 40 years old, it still seems to be a work in progress adapting to the changing cultures in small but continuous increments. From the exterior, and in some cases the interior, it appears to be an assemblage of buildings. The architecture firm of Bindon & W right was formed by Leonard W. Bindon ( 1 899-?) and John LeBarron Wright ( 1 9 1 6-?), a successor of Seattle architectural firm, Bebb & Jones, itself a successor to the firm of Bebb & Gould designers for many of the buildings on the University of Washington Campus, including an addition to the University of Washington's Suzzalo Library in 1 963. Other notable buildings included the Music Building at Western Washington College (University) ( 1 939), by Bindon, The Norton Buil ding ( 1 959) with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and the second downtown Seattle Library ( 1 960). They were also responsible for the Mortvedt Library. Other design consultants on the project include the following : Structural Engineer - Andersen, Bjornstad, Kane; Mechanical Engineers - Bouillon, Christofferson & Schairer; Electrical Engineers - Beverly A. Travis & Associates; Acoustical Consultants - Bolt, Beranek and Newman, Inc; and Landscape Consultant - William G. Teufel. Contractors included: General Contractor - Russell G. Nelson, Construction, Inc . ; Mechanical Contractor - General Mechanical, Iinc . : Electrical Contractor - McWik's Electric Co. ; all were from Tacoma, WA. The Tsang Partnership carried out the remodel of the lower portion of the University Center including the Scandinavian Center in 1 989, as well as performing a feasibility study of East Campus. James C. Tsang previously worked in Robert Billsbrough Price's office on a great many of his PLU projects including Olson Coliseum and Tingelstad Hall. It cost $550,000 for the development of 6,700 square feet previously undeveloped in the building. W. Lease Lewis Company was the contractor on this phase of the building's development.

University Center

at 1 2 1 80 Park A ve S, #34, Parkland (Tacoma, WA 98744

University Center is located on the grade change between upper and lower campuses. The building helps to unite the more than 40' difference between upper and lower campus by providing major entrances at each level. It is bordered by Park Avenue South on its east side, Ramstad Hall to the west, and Xavier and Harstad Halls to the north . The building is a good example of brutalism and postmodernist styles on campus. The i rregular shaped building has painted cast-in-place (CIP) concrete walls. The roof is a combination of shed, gable and flat roofs. The changes in interior finishes indicates that the interiors was finished out in phases. The north elevation abuts a plaza, with Ramstad Hall to the west, and has a laminated wood structure campus clock tower (Anderson Clock Tower) is placed in the middle of the plaza. The upper level originally hl ad exposed heavy timber ceiling structure.

Yes - Local Yes

The eclectic collection of buildings that makes up Ingram Hall is a microcosm for the rapid, but incremental expansion of Pacific Lutheran University in the Post-World War \I era, brought about by returning G . I . 's and their children ("Baby Boomers'). with initial construction in 1 956 and additions constructed in 1 960 and 1 972. W hile the initial construction is buried beneath layers of additions and revised finishes, the most notable addition appears to be the vertical cedar clad, but windowless auditorium and entrance adjacent to earlier phases appears in strong contrast to the overall building. Lea, Pearson and Richards were the original architects of the first utilitatiran building in 1 955. It appears to express styles ranging from modernism to post modernisim in one building with the almost baroque wood clad scuppers on the auditorium wing. Lea, Pearson & Richards were a Tacoma architecture firm composed of three partners: Charles Winthrop Lea, Jr. ( 1 903 - 1 990), Charles Theodore Pearson ( 1 905 - 1 994) and John Greenway Richards ( 1 908 - 1 985?) . An award for named for Charles T. Pearson is awarded semi-annually by the American Institute of Architects (AlA) Southwest Washington Chapter; Pearson was one of the founders of the chapter and its third President in 1 958. Pearson was President of the AlA Washington Council in 1 962 and elected to the college of Fellows of the AlA in 1 973. The office was started in 1 937 and was the largest firm in Tacoma for many decades. The firms work at the Pacific Lutheran University Campus and nearby include: Mernorial Gyrn ( 1 947) , Science Building now named Ramstad ( 1 947), North now named Hong Residence Hall ( 1 954). Common Hall now named Ingram Hall ( 1 956), West Hall now narned Kreidler Residence Hall ( 1 957), Philip E. Hauge Administration Building ( 1 960), Trinity Lutheran Church Sanctuary ( 1 960), Pflueger Hall Residence ( 1 962), Foss Residence Hall ( 1 965) , Ordal Residence Hall ( 1 967), and Stuen Hall ( 1 966) .

Description of Physical Appearance

Ingram Hail at its current size of 33, 1 00 square feet,has an irregular shaped plan, and is located near the Northwest Corner of Campus. Its plan closely follows the shape of Ordal Residence Hall on its east elevation. Frorn Google earth, it appears to have been built in two to three phases, with a covered courtyard. It is clad in brick veneer and stucco or cement panets. The concrete structure is articulated.in the form of structural bays, with column and panel infill. On the south elevation a vertical wood clad addition appearS to have been added at a later date. It is rectangular with rounded corners in plan and rotated approximately 45 degrees to the plan grid of the original building. Scuppers are articulated on the addition as an integral part of tM building form. An enclosed dog trot clad in brick, concrete, glass and wood between the original building and this addition serves as the main entrance for the addition and the building. A low brick wall, suppports planting beds around the addition , at other sections it is in direct contact with the foundation forming a less landscaped plinthe. The rest of the building is surfaced in a concrete stucco, Roofs and parapets viewable from the ground level are covered with standing seam metal roofing. Portions of interior flat roofs viewable from the air are covered with what appears to be an a torch down asphaltic membrane or similar type of roofing. 'It could also be a synthetic PVC or rubber

LOWEH CAMPUS:

P LU LOWER CAMPUS

The PLU Lower Cam pus is com prised of e leven bui l d i ngs that fo rm two distinct a reas: (1) the acade mic/ath l etic a rea, and ( 2 ) a reside ntial a re a . The academic/ath letic a rea i ncl udes the M o rken Ce nte r, Reike Scie nce Ce nter, Memorial Gymnasi u m , the Swi m m ing Pool, Olson Auditori u m a n d the Co l u m b i a Ce nter. The reside ntia l a rea incl u des Foss H a l l, Pfl u ege r H a l l, Ti ngelstad H a l l and South Hal l . M ost l ower campus buildi ngs date fro m mid 20th century a n d include some of the newest a n d l a rgest bui ldings on ca mpus. This l a rge section of the ca m p u s is s l otted for most of the future growt h . The re is a notice a b l e shift fro m u p per t o l ower cam pus, a nd a ltho ugh the two a re stitched a t t h e ends a n d in the mid d le, the sepa ration seems com plete . Everything t h a t m a kes the u p p e r c a m p u s traditional, co hesive a nd intimate is la cking i n the lowe r c a m p u s . There is no sense of a n ove rriding p l a n, la ndscape is missing a n d the buildings have departed fro m the si m p l e p a l ette fo und in the upper campus. Some factors for the lack of sca le a n d cohesion a re : •

• •

An u n li mited site with no distinct edges. I n a p p ro p riate ma ssi ng that ove rwhelms h u m a n sca l e . Random a n d i m m ature la ndsca pe.

A l l th ese e l e ments add u p to negative i m pression of the l owe r campus a n d l ess regard fo r the va l u e of the struct u res even though a n u m be r a re sign ificant. The lower campus is a n a rea w h e re ca refu l ly designed and sited new structures wil l e n h a n ce the existing nota ble residential b ui l dings, especia l ly Ti nge l stad H a l l . FUTURE WORK

The present M aste r P l a n ca l l s fo r the event u a l remova l of the Memoria l Gymnasium, the Co l u m bia Center a nd the Swi m ming Poo l . All of these buildi ngs s uffe r fro m the infi l l and lack of la ndscape a ro u n d them . If they m ust be demolished they sho u l d be ca refu l l y photogra phed, the p l a n s recorded and the as-bu i lt plans recorded and a rchived . Of the t h ree bui ldings the M e m o r i a l Gymnasi u m is the most s ignifica nt a nd remains a l most u ndimi nis hed i ntegrity of its i m porta nt e ntry e levati o n . If the bui ldi ng could be reco nfig u red for fut u re use the U nive rsity would save a nota b l e structure.

This 53, 1 00 square foot i rregular shaped building is roughly in the form of a "u" with the open end facing the east. The north wing, with metal and glass cladding is joined to the southern wing which has brick veneer cladding and gabled roof by a glazed connection on the west side. On the south side of the north wing a glazed loggia attaches the main east entry, facing Rieke Hall, and other academic areas of lower campus with the interior atrium in the glazed connection at the west end of the building. The interior courtyard of the building is planted with water conserving native plants. On the east side of the building a new grass and concrete path landscape was planted to redefine the ever expanding southwest edge of campus proper.

Named for Clifford O. Olson, coach and athletic directo( from 1 929 to 1 948, Olson Auditorium was designed by Robert Billsborough Price, a noted Tacoma Architect of the mid20th century. The building itself continues to host athletic, arts and academic events and was built in response to the ever increasing needs of the expanding campus in the post足 World War II era. The sensitive use of materials within a restricted pallette livens up su rface. Robert Billsbrough Price ( 1 9 1 5- 1 981 ) was considered to be the most prolific architect in the Tacoma area from the 1 950s to the 1 970s . He was a graduate of the University of Washington and Massachusetts I nstitute of Technology's Architecture Programs. He was published several times and his wife Joan , also a licensed architect, worked with him in the firm and was responsible for many of the i nteriors. I n 1 966, Price was the first architect in Tacoma to be honored as a Fellow of the American I nstitute of Architects. Price's firm was responsible for Olson Auditorium ( 1 969) , Swimming Pool ( 1 965) and Tingelstad Hall ( 1 967) at Pacific Lutheran University. The Swimming Pool was featured in the July 1 966 issue of Progressive architecture for "returning nature to the indoor pool." James C . Tsang previously worked in Robert Billsbrough Price's office on a great many of his PLU projects including the Olson Coliseum and Tingelstad Hall. The Tsang Partnership carried out the remodel of the lower portion of the University Center i ncluding the Scandinavaian Center in 1 989, as well as performing a feasability study of East Campus. Richard Haag and Associates was the Landscape Architect. This firm is known nationally and internationally for its work including Gas-Works Park i n Seattle, WA, Bloedel Reserve, Bainbridge Island, WA and founder of the University of Washington Landscape Architecture Department. Arnold N. Bogue was the mechanical and electrical engneer for the project. EA Wetherill was the acousitical engineer, David Christian was the TV & radio sound engineer. Skilling, Helle, Christiansen & Robertson, Seattle was the structural engineer. According to the October 2 1 , 1 967 Portland, Oregon Daily Journal of Commerce the following contractors were the apparent low bidders for the project: General Contractor - Strom Construction Company, Tacoma , ; Mechanical Contractor - H-K Western, Tacoma; Electrical Contractor - Totem Electric, Tacoma

The PLU Swimming Pool is located to the west of Memorial Gym and to the east of Olson Auditorium, Between memorial Gym and the Swimming Pool is located Mills Plaza which was constructed at the same time. The 1 2,500 square foot single story building's purpose is to provide shelter for the pool and its servant features including locker rooms and mechanical space for the heating, circulation and treatment of the pool water. The running bond brick veneer completely surrounds the Buckminster Fuller inspired roof composed of multiple i nterconnected pyramid forms, forming both ridges and valleys. The building is almost windowless and the exterior walls are completely composed of running bond brick veneer. Novel design features include a T-shaped pool to meet PLU's programmatic requirements, electric boilers for heating both water and air, 1 1 ' windows to allow as much of t.he outside views and light inside as possible, and double glulam arches for the roof structure with a gap between each pair which ,formed part of the ceiling 1 roof vent system .

40,900 square foot Memorial gym i s rectangular almost square building with a projecting single story wing with identical detailing and windows from west side and a composition of symmetrical, hierarchical massing of elements stepping down from the tallest element in the middle, to side elements apparently conta i n i ngl circulation and smaller spaces where circulation i s housed and a Iront massing element.

Some of the metal windows on the side are painted over wit h opaque white paint. On the east side of the building there

i s a small uitility s hed of concrete block maso n ry units that appears to house a utility entrance o r storage, Names Fitness center is a streamlined, rounded stucco clad! rectangular mass attached to the north side of M e morial Gym, It almost the same size in terms of ground floor coverage, but lower in height. The rounded rectangular m ass with high strip clerestory windows appears to hover over a smaller, lower mass which appears to hover over the large ceremonial steps theat reach down to the large green on the north side of the building, It appears to have certain ant hropormorphic qualities in the arrange m e n t of glazing and cladding finishes on its north elevation that appear to s how the i n f l uence of Aldolf Loos and Le Corbusier, The complex is located to the east of the Swi m m i n g Pool, to the west of Foss and Pflueger Halls, to the north of the golf course and to the south of the largest green within lower

Foss Hall along with Pflueger Hal l . was one of the last residence halls on campus designed by Lea. Pearson and Richards, the firm responsible for the majority of posl World War II buildings on the upper campus, It is a direct response to the expandi ng needs of the University in the Post-World War II era due to the G . I . Bill and the succeeeding Baby Boom Generation. Foss creates two greens on PLU's lower campus. Named for H . L. Foss. chair of Pacific Lutheran College / Pacific Lutheran University's board of regents for many years and the bishop of the North Pacific District of the American Lutheran Church from 1 932 to 1 965.

I Description of Physical Appearance

Lea, Pearson & Richards were a Tacoma architecture firm composed of three partners: Charles Winthrop Lea, Jr. ( 1 903 - 1 990) , Charles Theodore Pearson ( 1 905 - 1 994) and John G reenway Richards ( 1 908 - 1 985?). An award for named for Charles T. Pearson is awarded semi-annually by the American Institute of Architects (AlA) Southwest Washington Chapter; Pearson was one of the founders of the chapter and its third President in 1 958. Pearson was President of the AlA Washington Council in 1 962 and elected to the college of Fellows of the AlA in 1 973. The oHice was started in 1 937 and was the largest firm in Tacoma for many decades. The firms work at the Pacific Lutheran University Campus and nearby include: Memorial Gym ( 1 947), Science Building now named Ramstad ( 1 947), North now named Hong Residence Hall ( 1 954 ) , Common Hall now named I ngram Hall ( 1 956) , West Hall now named Kreidler Residence Hall ( 1 957) , Philip E. Hauge Administration Building ( 1 960), Trinity Lutheran Church Sanctuary ( 1 960), Pflueger Hall Residence ( 1 962), Foss Residence Hall ( 1 965), Ordal Residence Hall ( 1 967). and Stuen Hall ( 1 966). -------

I Using the same material and detail vocabulary as its neighbor Pflueger, the 39,700 square foot Foss Hall has an expressed concrete frame with concrete block m asonry infill at

opaque bays and concrete spandrel panel and horizontal strip glazing infill at all other bays. The windows are made up of metal frames with glazing. At the middle three bays a single story community room projects from the east side of the building and it is topped by an accessible roof walk. The upper roof appears to be flat with a continuous parapet

From the dedication pamphlet for the hall and the lower campus swimming pool: " H . L. Foss Hall will house 1 88 men and will be located on the lower campus adjacent to Pflueger Hall. It will be a beautiful three-story building with an unusual interior design , every eight rooms (housing 1 6 students) will have their own study, lounge, bathroom and utility room. This is expected to create a more homelike atmosphere. The dormitory will also i nclude a social lounge, a television room , game room, sun deck, typing rooms and apartmehts for house parents. The building divides the major green on the lower campus surrounded by Rieke, Olson, the PLU pool and Names Fitness Center from a smaller opens pace surrounded by Pflueger Hall, U niversity Center and Ramstad Hall. It is located to the northeast of Memorial Gym - Names Fitness Center, to the north of Columbia Center and Ten nis Courts, and to the northeast of Pflueger Residence Hall. It is located to the south of Hi nderlie and Eastvold Halls on upper campus. The main axis of the 3-story rectilinear mass of the building runs north to south. Page 2 of 3

Before its dedication it was referred to as Alpha Hall, and it was to be for men only, The project was apparently not ready in time and the Director of Testing (housing) wrote a letter to various faculty members asking whether they would be willing to take in PLU students on a temporary basis until the residence hall is complete, Currently the residence hall is coeducational. Pflueger Hall is named after professor, Dr, Jesse P, Pflueger who had matriculated from Capital University, a medical degree from Tulane University, and Leipzig University in Germany, Dr, Pflueger was professor of religion and philosophy at Pacific Lutheran College from 1 930 to 1 958, The building was designed by Lea, Pearson and Richards who were responsible for the majority of buildings on upper campus that were constructed during the post-World War II era. It was constructed just before the first of the "Baby Boom" generation started their collegiate career. This era that started in 1 946 saw an explosion in population along with a dramatically increased need for higher education by both public and private universities. The building is representative of many built during this era to provide for the U niversity's expanding population. Lea, Pearson & Richards were a Tacoma architecture firm composed of three partners: Charles Winthrop Lea, Jr. ( 1 903 - 1 990) , Charles Theodore Pearson ( 1 905 - 1 994) and

I John Greenway Richards ( 1 908 - 1 985?). An award for named for Charles T. Pearson is awarded semi-annually by the American Institute of Architects (AlA) Southwest

Pearson was President of the A l A Washington Council in 1 962 and elected to the college of Fellows of the A l A in 1 973. The office was started in 1 937 and was the largest firm in Tacoma for many decades, The firms work at the P acific Lutheran University Campus vicinity include: Memorial Gym ( 1 947), Science Building now named Ramstad ( 1 947), North now named Hong Residence Hall ( 1 954), Common Hall now named Ingram Hall ( 1 956), West Hall now named Kreidler Residence Hall ( 1 957), Philip E.

Other design consultants included the I nterior Architect Coryell Berry of Seattle. The General Contractor was Sam Bergesen of Tacoma. Other major sub-contractors included: Electrical Contractor - Connors Electric Company - Tacoma; Mechanical Contractor - The Bay Company, Tacoma; Built-In Furniture- and Furnishings - Erv Parent Company, Seattle.

Description of Physical Appearance

Page 2 of 3

Pflueger Hall is a 40,600 square foot V-shaped building located to the southeast of Foss Hall and built at approximately the same time with identical detailing and finishes. There are tennis courts to the west of Pflueger and to the south of Foss Hall. The top of t he Y is on the south side and the bottom on the north side. It is located to the east of Memorial Gymnasium and to the southwest of University center. It is north of Columbia Center and Tingelstad. The two approximately south facing wings are three stories in height while the north wing steps down from three to two stories. The remainder of the north wing's roof is an accessible walk and is fully railed off. A graceful, mi nimalist, cast in place concrete egress stair also reaches to the second floor at the north end of this wing. Like Foss Hall, this building is constructed of an articulated pre-stressed concrete and steel structural frame infilled with CMU walls where required and concrete spandrel panels and aluminum windows where openings are required. The roof is a flat roof with a parapet and asphalt composition roofing. Pflueger is one of only two residence halls on campus to have a laundry room in each wing,

Tingelstad Residence Hall is named for Oscar A. Tingelstad who served as PLU's P resident from 1 928 to 1 943. The building was constructed in 1 967 and was i nitially male-only, it cost approximately 2 million dollars with financing by the U,S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The building like many others on campus was a direct expansion of the campus population after World War " by returning soldiers and the baby boom generations that followed. Tingelstad Residence H all was designed by Robert Billsbrough Price ( 1 9 1 5- 1 98 1 ) , who was considered to be the most prolific architect in the Tacoma area from the 1 950s to the 1 970s. He was a graduate of the University of Washington and Massachusetts I nstitute of Technology's Architecture Programs. His wife Joan, also a licensed architect, worked with him in the firm and was responsible for many of the interiors. In 1 966, Price was the first architect in Tacoma to be honored as a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. Price's firm was responsible for Olson Auditorium ( 1 969) . Swimming Pool ( 1 965) and Tingelstad H all ( 1 967) at Pacific Lutheran University. James C. Tsang worked in R . B . Price's office on a g reat many of these projects. He would go on to head his own firm, The Tsang Partnership carried out the remodel of the lower portion of the University Center including the Scandinavian Center in 1 989 as well as performing a feasibility study of East Campus. The Swimming Pool was featured in the July 1 966 issue of Progressive Architecture for "returning nature to the indoor pooL" Also notable was the nationally known Landscape Architect - Lawrence Halprin and Associates. Other design consultants included : Structural Engineer - Skilling, Helle, Christianson and Robertson; Mechanical and Electrical Engineer - Arnold Bogue and Associates. General Contractor for the building was K EW Construction Company, other sub-contractors included Howard Chapman as the Mechanical Contractor and Totem Electric as the Electrical Contractor.

Description of PhYSical Appearance

Page 2 of 3

93,900 square foot Tingelstad i s composed of two symmetrical rectangular masses joined in the middle by a narrower mass running east west. This section contains all the vertical circulation for the building and the entry lobby on the north side. The entire height of this vertical section is clad in glass curtain wall with m etal spandrel panels every other floor with three symmetrically spaced ventilation g ril ls per floor. On the south side of this central connection, a solid concrete clad mass projects from the building including an apparently ventilated gap between the mass and the rest of the building and a gap between the projecting mass and the two side wings. The building is clad brick veneer and supported by articulated thin, flat concrete structural slabs. I n the current construction parlance the thin concrete slab would likely be of post-stressed reinforcement construction. The east and west ends of the building have a vertically continous projecting bay above the first floor supported by Corbusian columns (pilotis).

South Hall is the second residence hall on campus to be so named. Orignially Hinderlie Residence Hall was also named South Hall. As of 201 0, it is the newest residence hall completed on campus. Mithun (Architect) , Coupghlin Porter Lundeen (Structural Engineer) and Walsh (Builder) are all well known throughout the Pacific Northwest. The Development Manager, Lorig and Associates is well known for its projects in Washington and Oregon including the Garfield Blocks project . The landscape around the building was designed by Nakano Associates, Landscape Architects. Other notable consultants include Mesher 1 Shing who consulted on the dining and kitchen design for the facility. Construction cost was seven million dollars. One of the major goals of the building was to attract older students to on-campus living. In iI's first year (2001 ) it raised the percentage of on-campus student residents from 41 % to 45%. The building has studio, two and four bedroom apartments, as well as two-bedroom townhouses, one-bedroom lofts and a single five-bedroom townhouse. Each of the units has it own separate kitchen and bathroom facilities. Public areas of the building face towards the main campus, more than two blocks away. The cladding represent the eclectic arrangement of unit types. As a single mass, the building is an exceptionally large presence in the landscape, which is broken up in by this clever arrangement of cladding.finishes.coordinates to various modules and to various unit types. Care i n the arrangement and detailing of cladding can be seen at many scales.

The W. M .. Keck Observatory at Pacific Lutheran U niversity hosts multiple telescopes including a 1 6 inch Smith-Cassegrain telescope with a large format digital camera, under t 1 7 foot retractable dome. There are additional metal pillars on a concrete patio apron to the south side of the main telescope enclosure for the mounting of additional smaller telescopes. The building itself is a well crafted structure with its roofing and cladding materials chosen for their longevity and low cost of purchase and maintenance. It was designed to provide position observations of known asteroids and to search for new asteroids as the principal research activities.

The observatory cost $250,000 and was part of a $500,000 grant from the W . M . Keck foundation to PLU. The balance of the grant was used to fund a Keck Center for Mapping as well as the Keck Microscopy Room.located within Rieke Hall along with an astronomy facility networked to the observatory. W . M . Keck foundation was founded in 1 954 and makes grants designed to provide far-reaching benefits for humanity in the fields of sceince, engineering and medical research. -------

The 1 ,000 square foot W . M . Keck Observatory at Pacific Lutheran U niversity is located j ust to the south of the intersection of 1 24th Street South and 1 0th Avenue South. It is sandwiched between a baseball field and soccer field to the east, and the the Pacific Lutheran University golf cou rse to the west and south. It is stucco clad wood framed building with gable roof and a rotating observation dome located at the south end of the north south long axis of the structure. The dome has shutters that open or close depending upon use and protect the main telescope and any related instrumentation from the elements. Both roof elements appear to be sheathed in metal. With the gable roof sheathed in corrugated metal. There is a door and a plastic sash sliding window to the north of the dome area on the east elevation. The building contains a computer controlled 1 6" Schmidt-Cassegrain reflecting telescope and five 8" telescopes.

Property potentially contributes to a historic district (National and/or local): Statement of Significan,ce

No observed differences since the October 1 998 survey prepared by C. Holstine. Her entry is as follows: "For the past 90 [currently 1 00] years, Parkland Grade School has stood as a landmark of education in the heart of the community named for its original park-like beauty. Despite early and more recent modifications and additions, the school retains most of its character-defining exterior, as well as numerous interior spaces and features that evoke a sense of its long and important role in the education of the community's youngest students. As such, the Parkland School (including the 1 908. 1 920, and 1 937 structures) appears to meet the eligibility requirements of the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion A. (The 1 948 wing and anached 1 91 5 Manual Training and Domestic Science building do not appear eligible, however) . With the possible exception of the large oak tree south of the school . And equally large (and presumably old) maples and spruce to the north, none of the landscape elements appear to contribute to the school's eligibility, i ncluding the laurel hedge along the SR 7 right-of-way i n front of the school , which is a later addition to the school grounds. Built in 1 908, the oldest portion of the school was designed by W ilfred J. Plouffe, an architect responsible for at least seven other buildi ngs in Tacoma and the Woodland School in Puyallup. Born in Michigan, Plouffe practiced in the Tacoma area from his office in the Klaber Building on South Tacoma Avenue. He spent the last seven years of his life near Eatonville, where he died in 1 932. As Parkland grew as a result of its location along a major transportation route serving nearby Tacoma. And in response to the World War I military expansion at Fort Lewis and, later, McChord Air Force Base, Parkland School expanded in kind. Architects Lundberg and Mahon designed a four-classroom addition on the rear of the original school in 1 920, while Mock and Morrison designed the gymnasium in 1 937 (Historic Building File, Tacoma Public Library Northwest Room; Obituary, Tacoma News Tribune 8 September 1 932, p. 2; Polk's 1 908). Thomas and Agness Tellentire claimed 640 acres on what was, in the 1 850s, known as Washington Prairie, which i ncluded this school property among lands extending one-half mile east and west of Pacific Avenue (SR 7). In 1 88 7 Parkland Grade School was built on land donated by W illiam Wilson east of Pacific Avenue at its junction with 1 21 st Street.

12 1 08 Pacific Ave S, Parkland (Tacoma, WA 9844 7

i Three years later that land was exchanged for property across Pacific Avenue at the present school site. Wilson and his wife Isabelle platted the town of Parkland in 1 890; the

next year the Lake Park Railway extended its line south from Tacoma. Pacific Lutheran U niversity was established in 1 894 only a block west of Parkland Grade School. By 1 901 fifty students attended the school, which was expanded the following year. Growth of the community continued unabated, resulting in construction of the present building on the property in 1 908. A two-story frame Manual Training and Domestic Science building was erected on the north side of the school in 1 9 1 5. (That building was later moved south of the school, and is now attached to the south end of a one-story elementary school that was attached to the gymnasium in 1 948) . Enrollment at Parkland Grade School increased, , despite the brief closure during the 1 9 1 9 epidemic, sufficiently to warrant addition of four new classrooms in a two-story addition completed in 1 920. At that time, the front lawn served as the school's playground, with swing sets situated adjacent to Pacific Avenue. An accident there resulted in the swings being moved behind (west of) the school. Sometime thereafter the laurel hedge was planted along the front (east side) of the property. I n the 1 930s Parkland became a junior high school when the Franklin Pierce School District added a ninth grade. That development appears to have coincided with construction (in 1 937) of the gymnasium off the west side of the 1 920 addition. Yet another addition, the one-story elementary school , was attached to the southwest corner of the gymnasium in 1 948 (Eyers n . d . ; Ford 1 988; Gallacci 1 982; Laufer 1 989; Os ness 1 976, pp. 1 1 , 48, 75-76).

Parkiand Junior High School remained in operation until closed in 1 982. Since then it has been leased to Pacific Lutheran University as their " East Campus," where a limited number of classes are held in upstairs classrooms and the gymnasium. The building now also houses numerous social services in former classrooms modified for use as offices."

Description of Physical Appearance

No observed diflerences since the October 1 998 survey prepared by C . Holstine Her entry is as follows: "As constructed in 1 908, the original school consisted of a two-story imitation stone, concrete block structure atop a square, poured concrete foundation approximately 23 m on a side. That building is, for the most part, intact, at least on three sides, its west wall having become the eastern wall of the 1 920 addition of four classrooms. Although the rusticated blocks have been painted, the exterior of the oldest mass is evocative of the school's original appearance, particularly in its front entry, where "PARKLAND SCHOOL" is inscribed in concrete above a recessed alcove featuring a multi-light transom and sidelights flanking double wood and glass doors. Pyramid crowns atop raised concrete block pilasters frame the entryway; wooden balustrades have been removed from above the front (east) and south-side entries where they formerly spanned between the pilasters. The entry on the north wall lacks the raised pilasters displayed on the front and south entries; its simple double wooden doors open onto a wooden porch and stairs that have been replaced over the years. The southern entry has been closed below the "DISTRICT No. 402 PARKLAND" inscription, and the interior stairwell behind it absorbed into modern office space. Original one-over-one, double-hung, wood sash windows have been retained on the front and north walls, but have been replaced by hinged metal cased windows on the south fa<;ade. Raised parapets are centered over the entrances on the three exposed walls above the original wooden cornice, which has been extended (without decorative brackets) across the addition on the west side. The smooth concrete block walls of that addition, built in 1 920, are recessed slightly from the rusticated blocks of the original building, but otherwise the addition carries the original fenestration pattern and proportions of the older mass. Concrete sills and crowns on the addition match those on the 1 908 building. As on the older structure, original double-hung, wood sash windows have been retained on the north wall, and replaced by metal hinged windows on the south wall. Both the basement and main level interiors of the combined 1 908/ 1 920 building have been modified with acoustic tile ceilings, drywall partitions, and carpeted floors. Upper level classrooms, however, bear considerable amounts of original elements, including lath and plaster walls, high ceilings with perhaps asbestos tiles, built-in wooden shelves, and chalkboards with trays, installed Iowan the walls to accommodate young students. At the far west end of the school stands ďż˝he largest single structure in the school'S complex. Consisting of a nearly intact 1 930s-vintage gymnasium and performing arts stage, furnace, and utilitarian lower level. The complex has a hipped gabled roof topped by a stylish cupola. Situated over the center of the gymnasium roof, the octagonal, louvered wooden cupola adds a rural flair to what was, in the mid- 1 930s, a school surrounded by rapidly expanding suburban development. Unlike the other two adjoining structures, the gymnasium is of brick construction above a ca. 6-foot high concrete foundation. Five tall . Arched window openings on both the north and south walls have been boarded over, but retain their original configurations. Corbeled bricks between the arched windows give a subtle classical appearance to the gym's exterior, which extends outward slightly from the entrances on the east and a rear mass housing a furnace in the lower level and spaces behind a stage off the west side of gymnasium above. Emphasizing both time and place, " 1 9 PARKLAND 37" appears over the neoclassical entrance to the gymnasium complex. Multi-light transoms with wood muntins in wood sashes are above the doors on both north and south walls. Wooden Tuscan columns flank double wood and glass doors and support the entablature containing the inscribed friezes, architraves, and cornices. Above the entrances on the upper level are boarded-over rosette windows. The entryways lead to stairs accessing the foyer of the gymnasium on the upper level and a concrete-floored basement below. The basement consists of a spacious, single room with modern neon lighting recessed within a modern acoustic tile ceiling, with offices and utility rooms arranged around the central space. On the upper level, the wooden stairs land in the foyer, which consists of a hallway with a cove ceiling of lath and plaster. Double wooden doors access the gymnasium through two entrances off the west wall of the foyer. Passing beneath original wooden bleachers on the east side of gymnasium, passageways emerge onto the hardwood floor of the basketball court, which retains a backboard and what appears to be the original electric scoreboard and time clock near the ceiling at the south end. Two sets of wood and glass doors flank the performing arts stage on the west side of the gym . Plywood covers the cavernous stage opening,which is framed in varnished wood to match that of the bleachers. In 1 948 a concrete block, one-story primary school was built off the southwest corner of the gymnasium. Lacking any architectural distinction, that building is attached at its south

end to the old Manual Training and Domestic Science building. The latter structure was built north of the grade school in 1 9 1 5, and subsequently moved to its present location. Having been moved and modified, the building has lost too many aspects of integrity to be considered for National Register eligibility. Landscaping around the building includes what appear to be very old trees (oak on the south, maple and spruce on the north) and plants of more recent origin (twin holly tress flanking the front sidewalk; arbor vitae, juniper, box elder, and rhododendron adjacent to the building; maples south of the school). Growing along the edge of Pacific Avenue (SR 7) approximately 29 meters in front (east of) the school is an English Laurel (prunus laurocerasus) hedge. Its trunks grow out of the ground behind (west of) a 6-inch-wide curb that appears to consist of old concrete. The hedge eX1ends from the southeast corner of the school property approximately 58 meters, where it has been removed around buried water/utility pipes, a utility pole, and a metal fuse box near the southwest corner of SR 7 and 1 21 st St. South . The hedge is divided approximately at its midpoint by the sidewalk that eX1ends eastward from the school'S front entrance past the wooden flag pole that stands where it has stood perhaps since the school was built. Although it is impossible t足 determine the age of the hedge, it has obviously been pruned many times over the years. It does not appear on photographs dating ca. 1 908-1 920s."

The Martin J, Neeb Center was built as a new home for KPLU public radio station , previously located in a wing of Eastvold Hall on campus, It is named for Martin J, Neeb, who was a longtime general manager at KPLU, I n 1 966 K P LU started broadcasting throughout the Pacific Northwest via radio and extebded its range with the advent of internet radio broadcasts including a 24 hour all-jazz stream with 20,000 listeners per week. KPLU's signal reaches all of Wester Washington, Northern Oregon, and Southern British Colombia giving it a weekly audience of over 350,000 listeners, Its programming consists of National Public Radio News, Jazz and Blues. The new space provided additional or better quality on-air studios, production rooms, small performance space and offices. I n May of 2005, the Helix Design Group, I nc. was selected as the Architect with Bloomfield & Associates of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as the Associate Architects, The following design consultants were utilized for the project: Civil Engineer - Coughlin Porter Lundeen, Seattle; Site Design 1 Landscape Architect - Mithun, Seattle; LEED Conultants - O'Brien & Company, Bainbridge Island; Acoustical Consultant - Yantis Acoustical Design; Mechanical Commissioning - Welsh Commissioning Group, Auburn; Structural Engineer - PCS Structural Solutions, Tacoma; and Mechanical 1 Electrical Engineer - Hultz/BHU/Cross, Tacoma In January 2006, the lot on which the building is located is purchased. In May of 2006, John Korsmo Construction, I nc . is selected as General Contractor, During 2007, permit documents were submitted. In January of 2008 a groundbreaking ceremony took place, followed by the issuance of permits and the commencement of construction in February. A year later ,in February 2009, the building was substantially completed, Equipment was installed in May of 2009 and during June 2009, KPLU went live at its new location. The building is constructed in a modern style with metal and glass cladding. The elevations are balanced, yet dynamic in their composition. There is a hierarchy of the minimalist detailing that breaks up the larger masses of the building, Landscaping provides a nod to campus via the angle of the entry walk and entry path.

This building was built in 1 948 by Donald Eastvold, son of then PLU president S.C. Eastvold. It was sold to the University in 1 956.and served as the President's residence until 1 96 1 and the home of the vice-president for development until 1 966. That year it was converted into the Health Center and housed the Lutheran Institute for Theological Education (LITE) on the ground floor until 1 988. Donald Eastvold was a member of the state legislature, a failed candidate for state attorney general in 1 952, lawyer. land speculator and member of the Republican National Party credentialing committee whose interpretation allowed southern delegates supporting Dwight D. Eisenhower for president to remain at the national convention. The feasibility study by Architect William Ryder Reed examined the possibility of converting the house into a fully licensed 24 hour hospital instead of a clinic. The amount was four to five times the final cost of converting the house to a clinic. In 1 965-1 966, Architect William Ryder Reed of the Tacoma architectural firm Harris & Reed designed the remodel to convert the building into the campus Health Center for a total construction cost of $22,606. Peterson Construction Company of Tacoma was responsible for remodeling the building into a Health Center.

Description of Physical Appearance

The house may have been previously used as a Youth House. which hosted visiting youth and their guardians from various Lutheran Congregations. From an operational point of view it lost the university money in this capacity and was converted to the theater house during the summer of 1 987 or there abouts according to an April 6, 1 987 memo from the Vice-President of Church Relations to the director of Student Housing ..

The rectangular shaped building is clad in alternating width clapboards with a shingled gable. From the front side along Park Avenue South it appears to have three bays of windows. There are also basement windows. The middle bay of the second floor projects above the main entrance. This bay also appears to house the stair. On the southwest corner there is a utilitarian entrance. The simple gable running north to south has seven craftsman style eave brackets, supporting it. The do not quite appear to be equally distributed along the barge board. It appears to be Craftsman 1 Arts and Crafts in style.

Description of Physical Appearance

The 2,300 square foot Wang Center is a former single family residence. It is located to the west of the Mary Baker Russell Music Center. Currently its main entrance is from the east; formerly there was an entrance walk oriented the house to the north along Wheeler Street South. This entrance is demarcated by rustic river stone and metal gate. The corresponding entrance walk appears to have been removed. The building itself appears to be clad in shingles arranged in alternating close and wide coursings. An apparent shed roofed porch to the north is backed up by three parallel gables extruded out of the single gable roof. This apparent porch has since been enclosed. On the east side there is still an entrance veranda or porch with two shingled pillars; it could have been part of a larger veranda if t he front was originally a porch. The windows have largely been replaced with black metal framed models with an operable slider vent panes on the lower portion and a la�ge pane of glass on the upper portion.

The Human Resources complex is a former residential building and its garage. A shed roofed entry to the west appears to be newer insertion on the post world-war II cape-cod style residence. The garage is a simple gabled building with the ridge running east-west. There appears to be a newer turbine ventilator on the garage. The main building itself is cross gabled with dormers to the north and south. A small gable at the entrance projects to the west. Little modification to the clapboard siding is visible, including the single hung windows. There are some inserted window hung air-conditioning units. The shed dormer is on the south side of the window.
