	Until its closure in July 2000, Fairview had served the mentally and physically handicapped for nearly a century. Its few remaining residents were transferred to group homes or returned to live with their families. Plans to utilize the abandoned grounds of Fairview include three "pedestrian-oriented residential neighborhoods" with large green spaces and a school or a campus of light commercial businesses.

			A fire in 2010 destroyed one of the cottage buildings in the center of campus. As the vacant building fell into disrepair, the state fought to find a use for the property. Several of the newer style medical buildings were demolished. Finally, after several more failed attempts for reuse of the property, the remainder of buildings were demolished in early 2015. The historic cottage buildings were demolished in March of 2015.

			==History==
	Fairview was established by the legislature in 1907 as the State Institution for the Feeble-Minded. The institution was created as a "quasi-educational institution" charged with educating the "feeble-minded" and caring for the "idiotic and epileptic." A Board of Trustees consisting of the Governor, Secretary of State, and State Treasurer was created to oversee the institution. The actual management of the institution was the job of the superintendent. The legislature appropriated $10,000 for operating expenses and $100,000 for lands and buildings. The institution was situated on a 670 acre plot southwest of Salem and construction had proceeded to the point that the first residents were transferred from the Oregon State Hospital in December, 1908.

Initial construction began with inmates from the state penitentiary in 1908. By 1926 population reached 900, mostly children and epileptics with 11 cottages, an administration building, dining hall and other facilities. The hospital also began forced sterilization after it became law in Oregon. 601 patients between 1922 and 1940 underwent the procedure. By the 1950s 2 new large units were built for patients with more severe and multiple disabilities. In the 1960s most older patients were moved to Columbia Hospital and Training Center(A former TB hospital), population peaked in 1962 at about 2700. By the 1970s negative press about mistreatment of patients and changes in laws led to lower numbers. After a federal lawsuit and decreased population, the hospital closed in 2000.
