History

Constructed: 1951

Wendel was originally home to male Theological School students. It was named after the Wendel family, wealthy and mysterious benefactors of Drew University in its early years. Today, Wendel and its nearby companion structure, Tipple Hall, are the primary residences for Graduate School and Theological School students, especially those with families. Many living units in the two buildings underwent renovation and modernization during 1998 and 1999.
