UPDATE 8/21: Shoring installation and safety mitigation placement continues so the pre-cautionary measure of the building closure remains in effect and is extended through September 4th.  As previously noted the likelihood of consequence from this condition is extremely slight but we are taking every necessary precaution and I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.  Please contact Gene Mowery, 541-346-5593 or gmowery@uoregon.edu if you have questions.

As a general precaution please avoid entry and occupancy of Friendly Hall until notified the shoring is in place. The likelihood of consequence from this condition is extremely slight but we are taking every necessary precaution and I apologize for the inconvenience this may cause.
