Hawley Hall houses approximately 270 residents on five floors, and is part of the residence hall quad on the west side of campus. Hawley is connected to Buxton Hall. The Engineering Living-Learning Community is housed in Buxton and Hawley Halls, and is open to all pre-engineering majors. The building is named for Curtis L. Hawley, State Dairy and Food Commissioner and member of the Board of Regents from 1909 to 1924.
This building is the second on campus to carry his name; at its construction as a men's dormitory in 1928, a wing of Weatherford Hall was also named for Hawley.

SCARC: SCARC's holdings include photograph collections, and university records documenting the history of Hawley Hall.
Oregon Digital: Includes photographs and textual materials documenting Hawley Hall. It should be noted that materials dating to the 1920s through the 1940s likely reference the earlier Hawley wing of Weatherford Hall, not the Hawley residence hall built in the 1950s.
