Global Scholars Hall

[1][2] Opened in Fall 2012, the 185,000 square foot building serves as an undergraduate residence hall, dining facility, library, classroom, and performing arts complex.

[5] Allegedly, the type of concrete slabs used by the construction and design firms were to blame for the structural problems observed in GSH.

The university claimed that the companies responsible were aware of these problems and had multiple opportunities to correct them.

Residents of the hall were notified of the lawsuit through email on the same day it was filed, although the structure was determined to be safe to inhabit after multiple inspections.

[5][6] In December 2016, the UO Board of Trustees voted to accept a settlement of $6.9 million from the firms named in the complaint.
