Weatherford Hall Pavers - Oregon State University - Corvallis, OR - Donated Engraved Bricks and Pavers on Waymarking.com

Located in front of Weatherford Hall is a rectangular pad containing brick pavers with names of individuals or business entities who contributed towards the renovation of Weatherford Hall. I as able read in the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form the following verbiage that applies to these donated pavers:

The University decided to close the dormitory in 1993 because the building needed major renovation. This incited student protest and a petition to keep the dormitory open for one more year. Weatherford closed in 1994 and most of the building was vacant for many years, with space occasionally opening for workshops and training exercises. Efforts to salvage Weatherford started with a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant in 1997 that enabled a seismic analysis and funded repairs that would halt further deterioration to the building. In 2002, the private donation of $4 million and $14 million in bond funding allowed further renovation that converted the building into the center of OSU’s entrepreneurship program, opening in 2004.
