Overview

The Facilities Management records contain information about the physical plant of Willamette University.

Arrangement

The records contain one series of general administrative and planning materials, followed by series arranged by building, alphabetical by building name.

Physical Location

Mark O. Hatfield Library

Accruals

Additions to these records are expected as records become inactive.

Related Materials

Photographs of buildings can be found in the Campus Photographs collection (WUA9999).

Records concerning the ownership of property (mortgages, deeds, insurance, property sale records, etc.) can be found in the Business records (WUA098).

Records concerning the initial planning for and internal arrangement of buildings are often located with the records of the department occupying that building (for example the Library records, WUA129).

Processing Information

This collection has been processed and described at a folder level. The materials have been reboxed and refoldered for preservation, maintaining original folder titles and internal folder arrangements where possible. Large format materials, including blueprints, have been rolled and stored in poster tubes.

Records concerning the ownership of property (mortgages, deeds, insurance, property sale records, etc.) belong in the Business records (WUA098). Records concerning the initial planning for and internal arrangement of buildings are often located with the records of the department occupying that building (for example the Library records, WUA129), since those records are usually more reflective of the type of work that department does, rather than about the building itself.
