Gatke Hall, University building at Willamette University, Salem, US

Gatke Hall stands as a two-story structure with sandstone exterior walls and features both brick and steel frame construction methods throughout the building.

Originally constructed in 1903 as Salem's post office, the entire building was transported on rollers to Willamette University campus in 1938, taking six months to complete.

The building housed the College of Law from 1939 to 1967, marked by the installation of the Lady Justice statue from Marion County Courthouse in 1952.

The facility now contains an integrated laboratory for exercise science studies, faculty research offices, and information technology department workspaces.

The sandstone and granite materials used in construction were sourced from Ashland, Oregon, while local Salem suppliers provided the wood and bricks.
