Gerlinger Hall

The structural system of the hall is heavy timber and the exterior walls are brick.

Washington Brick of Spokane did the brick, Rushlight and Hastorf did the heating, City Iron Works in Portland did the ironwork, and Standard Artificial Stone Company of Portland did the cast stone.

The carvines on the mantels and the grand stairway were based on designs done by students in the Art Department and Professor Larry Schroff did the over-mantel paintings [1] The Hall was designed for women's physical education, featuring classrooms, ballrooms, a swimming pool, and an alumni hall.

This was the same period during which the second floor of Villard Hall was converted into a living space for male students.
