Named Gift Provides Debt-Free Residence Hall Jenkins Hall, named in honor of Eleanor Gail (Sommerfeld) Jenkins, is scheduled for completion June 2017, continuing the Jenkins family’s legacy of service to Cedarville. President Thomas White announced the naming of the hall during the Homecoming Chapel September 30. The $3.3 million, 64-bed facility will be located near the University’s townhouses along the western edge of campus. The residence hall will have eight rooms per living unit, plus a common study room and fellowship room that will encourage friendships and spiritual growth. Jenkins Hall will replace Faith Hall, a 59-year-old former Army barrack that will be razed in 2017. “This hall will be different than anything we have built before,” noted Rodney Johnson ’86, Associate Vice President for Operations. “It takes the unit concept of Lawlor and Printy and expands that into more spacious rooms and lounge spaces.” “Jenkins Hall will be a place where students will grow in spiritual maturity, academic study, and lifelong personal relationships, extending the legacy of the Jenkins family investment in Cedarville University,” commented Jon Wood, Vice President for Student Life and Christian Ministries. “Just as Faith Hall has been a place of community and growth for decades at Cedarville, its replacement in Jenkins Hall will likewise be an important home for students and a place of transformation.” Jenkins Hall will be the first residence hall in Cedarville history to be built without incurring debt. “Building the dorm debt free continues the legacy at Cedarville of student discipleship in residence halls with the best stewardship,” said Wood. Ellie, as she was known to friends, attended Cedarville before leaving to marry her husband, Warren Jenkins ’72, whom she met at the University. They were married 43 years. “She advocated on behalf of Cedarville University, encouraging many local students to attend Cedarville, one of which was our daughter, Heather (Jenkins) Smith ’03,” noted Jenkins, a University Trustee. “She was as encouraging as she was beautiful, and she was a one-in-a-million mom.” Ellie Jenkins went home to be with the Lord on October 24, 2015. She is survived by her husband, Warren; sons Jeremy (Carrie) and Jonathan (Shelley); daughter Heather (Brian); and nine grandchildren. Campus News
