Overview of the Collection
Historical NotePlanning for a conference hotel at Oregon State University began in the mid-1990s; a request for proposals was issued in early 1997. In June 1998, the Oregon State Board of Higher Education approved lease of 3.67 acres of campus property near the LaSells Stewart Conference Center and OSU athletic facilities to a development corporation for construction of a $10 million hotel. Ultimately, another development company began construction in the summer of 2002 and the Hilton Garden Inn opened in the fall of 2003. Content DescriptionThe Finance and Administration Videotapes consist of 2 VHS videotape recordings of two meetings in 1997 pertaining to the proposal process for development of a conference hotel on the Oregon State University campus.
