Lausanne Hall, University dormitory in Salem, United States
Lausanne Hall is a three-story brick building with Gothic Revival details located on Winter Street at Willamette University's campus. It houses about 152 students and features multiple common areas including a piano, pool table, kitchen, and lounges.
The building was constructed in 1920, replacing an earlier dormitory as Willamette University invested in modern student housing. This construction was part of a broader campus expansion during the 1920s.
The Lausanne Guild, founded in 1921 and later renamed Town and Gown, created connections between Salem residents and students that shaped community bonds for decades.
The building is located on the main campus and is easy to spot along Winter Street. It is best to visit during daytime hours when common areas may be accessible to visitors.
During World War II, the building served as housing for the United States Navy College Training Program from 1943 to 1945. This wartime role is often overlooked but represents an important chapter in the building's past.
