Building History

Completed in 1963, this five-story residence hall is home to 300 students and was the original home of honors college. It is named for Charles L. McNary, a long-serving Oregon state senator. He worked on agricultural and forestry issues, and helped pass legislation that led to the construction of Bonneville Dam. Not to be confused with McNary Hall, which was also the name of a wing of Central Hall dormitory in the 1940's.
