Koren Building, dedicated in 1921, was named in honor of Ulrik Vilhelm Koren (1826-1910), who was one of the founders and leaders of Luther College. The building housed the Koren Library until 1969. Major renovation was undertaken in 1987-88, and the building is now devoted to classrooms and faculty offices for members of the Education, History, Politics, Sociology, and Anthropology/Archeology Departments.
