Baker Hall
Built in 1968, Baker Hall was named after McKendree stalwart Edwin P. Baker. He was a McKendree Professor for 60 years, retiring at the age of 85. His career spanned both World Wars and the Great Depression. He served as Academic Dean from 1917-1937.
Though the hall was originally built as a male-only residential facility, Baker is now a traditional-style, co-ed by floor residence hall with a laundry room and community bathroom on each floor. Baker Hall also has a lounge on the first floor that can be used for study groups, meetings, programs, individual studying, and socializing.
Baker is conveniently located on the main campus next to Ames Dining Hall.
