Residence hall on Marquette University‘s campus. Converted to a residence hall in 2015 with a capacity for 290 students in suite-style rooms. Prior to 2015, the building was a university-owned apartment building.

Marquette uses the address of 1716 W. Wisconsin Ave. for the building.

Marquette acquired the building from the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in 1988. It was converted to 94 apartments at the time.

The building is named after Glenn Humphrey. The Glenn and Gertrude Humphrey Foundation donated $1 million to assist the university in renovating the building after they acquired it from the hospital. Humphrey owned an automobile dealership at N. 35th St. and W. Wisconsin Ave.

The taxkey for the site reflects the 2015 demolished Helfaer Building, Krueger Child Care Center, Academic Support Center, boiler plant and 18th Street Parking Structure. Mortenson Construction performed the demolition work.

The hospital opened in the building in the building on November 8th, 1923 and closed in December of 1988.
