    Gerlinger Hall Alumni Lounge Distinguishing Features Report
    (University of Oregon, 2016-03-16) Campus Planning and Facilities, University of Oregon
    Gerlinger Hall (originally called Women’s Memorial Hall) at the University of Oregon was originally designed for two primary functions. One was women’s physical education. The second was to support “the social life of the University family.”1 Gerlinger Hall’s east wing was specifically designed for these social events. The Alumni Lounge (originally called Alumni Hall), and its associated East Stair and East Lobby, all of which exist today, still exhibit this intention and continues to be used for university and community events. The Alumni Lounge and its associated spaces, the East Stair, and East Lobby, are significant to Gerlinger Hall and the greater UO campus because of its craftsmanship and its association with the significant university figure, Mrs. Gerlinger, and campus architect, Ellis Lawrence. Much of the original historic fabric of the Alumni Lounge has been retained and it continues to be the most intact historic interior on campus. The Lounge, along with the building, Gerlinger Hall, is nationally recognized for its significance. In 1992 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. As stewards of the University and in compliance with the State Historic Preservation Office’s policies, it will be important to continue to retain as much of the historic fabric of the Lounge and its associated spaces as possible. Any alterations should not detract from the room’s distinguishing features. These features, further detailed information, and recommendations are outlined below.
