University Hall, formerly Deady Hall, is a historic building located in

Board of Regents.[4]

University Hall is variously described as simplified

Second Empire details or simply as Second Empire (though not as elaborate an example as Villard Hall

This building was listed on National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1][3] It and nearby Villard Hall were together designated as one National Historic Landmark in 1977.[3][5][6]

African-Americans, who were not allowed to settle in the new state.[7][8] Because of these views, Deady Hall became a target of an effort to remove his name from the building.[9] On June 10, 2020, UO President Michael Schill sent a letter to the Board of Trustees recommending renaming Deady Hall because of Deady's racist views.[10] On June 24, 2020, the University of Oregon's Board of Trustees announced that the name "Deady" would be removed as the name of the hall until a date when a new name can be chosen. In the interim, the hall will be named "University Hall."[11]
