Koren Hall, formerly known as Koren Library, is located on the campus of Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, United States. Completed in 1921, it served as the college's library until 1969 when Preus Library opened.^[2] Koren Hall was officially dedicated on October 14, 1921.^[3] The building is named for Ulrik Vilhelm Koren, one of the college's founders and a long-time supporter.^[4] From 1969 to 1978 it housed the Spiritual Life Center as well as offices and classrooms.
