Building History

Completed in 1922 during the administration of President William A. Jardine. This building was designed for the instruction of institutional management. It features a cafeteria and a tea room on the second floor. The design of the building, inspired by Italian Renaissance villas, includes semicircular arched windows, a low-pitched hipped roof, and detailed colonnaded entrances. It was named in honor of Dr. Helen B. Thompson, who served as the dean of the Division of Home Economics from 1918 to 1923.
