Doney Hall rooms are carpeted. Some rooms have moveable furniture and others have moveable beds only. There is a piano in the main lounge and pool table in the basement. Doney Hall has double, triple and single occupancy rooms with standard twin mattresses.
Doney Hall was built in 1955 as a residence, with an addition in 1967. The building is named for Dr. Carl Gregg Doney, president of the University from 1915-1934. He presided over the period known as the "greening of Willamette," during which the University grew tremendously in many categories, from endowment to student body to faculty.
