Prince Lucien Campbell Hall

Prince Lucien Campbell Hall (PLC) is a notable high-rise building located on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene, Oregon. Named after the university's fourth president, PLC features a modernist design with a five-story core and a ten-story west wing, housing classrooms, faculty offices, and an auditorium. Completed in stages between 1962 and 1968, it was once the tallest structure on campus, reaching 108 feet. The building's architecture has been described as controversial, with some critics labeling it as 'pugnaciously ugly.' PLC has a rich history, including a mysterious bombing incident in 1970 that caused significant damage but no injuries. For tourists and researchers, PLC stands as a significant landmark within the university's Memorial Quadrangle, surrounded by other historic buildings.
