建于1935年，落成后為學生宿舍。曾改名為魯迅樓，1999年大修時恢復原名。

 1935年，圣約翰大學于體育室北側建造新的校舍作為學生寢室，取“十年樹木，百年樹人”之意，稱為“樹人堂”。

In 1935, St. John’s University built a new building on the north side of the Gymnasium as the students’ dormitories. The new building was named the Shuren (means “to cultivate talents” in Chinese) Building, echo of the wise saying that “it takes 10 years to grow trees, but 100 years to cultivate talents”.

樹人堂屬于圣約翰大學后一階段建筑，式樣更趨簡化。她雖仍有中式大屋頂，進口處有中式挑檐，但除此以外，整體立面沒有什么特別的扮飾，尤其是簡練的矩形大窗使這幢建筑更顯現代簡約風格。

As one of the buildings in the later stage of St. John’s University, the Shuren Building was more simplified in style. Although it still had a large Chinese roof and a Chinese overhanging cornice at the entrance, there was no special decoration on all the facades, and the large, simple rectangular windows in particular give the building a modern minimalist look.

 1952年至1956年，樹人堂為華東體育學院辦公樓。華東體育學院外遷后，改作華東政法學院教研室辦公用房。2001年樹人堂被用作學生宿舍。

From 1952 to 1956, the Shuren Building was an office building of East China Institute of Physical Education. After the relocation of East China Institute of Physical Education, it was used as the teaching and research offices for the faculty of East China Institute of Politics and Law. In 2001, the Shuren Building was used as a student dormitory building.
