Homewood Campus Tour

Jenkins Hall was built in 1949-50 to house the Department of Biophysics, a function it continues to serve. The building is named in honor of Thomas C. Jenkins, a Hopkins student in the late 1880s, whose wife, May McShane Jenkins, donated the funds required for construction. In 1959, four more stories were added to the original two-story structure, attached to the rear of Mergenthaler Hall. The funds for this addition also came from the Jenkins endowment. The building was renovated in the mid-1980s as part of a general series of renovations on the Homewood campus.
