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.
