We always used to joke that the CEOAS building would ironically be the first to pancake.
Great quotes from Dr. Goldfinger in here.
Oregon State University Professor of Geology and Geophysics, Chris Goldfinger, who has studied the Cascadia Subduction Zone since the 1980s, and is one of the foremost scientists on the matter, said he believes that OSU’s infrastructure is not prepared to handle such an event.
“A large number of buildings, many of them on campus, were built long before the knowledge of Cascadia, or plate tectonics for that matter, existed. There has been little effort to retrofit them, except where major renovation required it. This means that the town and the campus is packed with collapse-hazard buildings that will likely fail in even a modest earthquake,” Goldfinger said.
