Lausanne Hall was originally acquired in 1880-81 and was known as the Young Women's Hall, part of the expanding Women's College. Used as a women's residence until being razed in 1919, Lausanne was rebuilt in its present form in 1920. The board of trustees opted to name the new residence after the ship that brought reinforcements and materials to the Oregon Mission, despite the student body's preference for naming the building Wallulah Hall, after the daughter of a local chief, Multnomah. During World War ||, Lausanne housed the U.S. Navy training unit stationed at Willamette. Lausanne was extensively renovated in 1985 and is a quiet, intensive-study residence for 150 students.
