Springfield Affordable Housing News

Recently, students from the University of Oregon have been involved in research and design projects to stimulate conversation about housing options in Springfield. View their work below.

Housing Designs on Display at City Hall

Students in an advanced architectural design studio at the University of Oregon created
designs for housing developments during winter term of 2018. These designs are an academic exercise. They are not actual or proposed developments.

Please come to the Springfield City Hall lobby, 225 Fifth Street, to view the designs and give your input to the students! The designs will be on display through April 2018, during open hours of City Hall. Your written comments will help the students as they continue to refine their concepts and designs throughout the rest of the school year.

The Springfield designs on display are:


	Q St Redevelopment Conceptual Design

Q Street: Includes redevelopment opportunities and accessory dwelling units (ADUs) on various lots in the Q Street neighborhood. Features a "Work4Rent Program" marketed to new families and single parents, which would provide part-time jobs on site. By Sarah Homister.

Glenwood: Includes three redevelopment sites located between Franklin Boulevard and the Willamette River. Features several "Timber Haus" housing units that utilize mass timber design and construction. By Spencer Boragine.

First drafts of both designs, as well as other concepts for Eugene developments, can be viewed online at bit.ly/RehousingSpfld
