建于1935年，落成后为学生宿舍。曾改名为鲁迅楼，1999年大修时恢复原名。

 1935年，圣约翰大学于体育室北侧建造新的校舍作为学生寝室，取“十年树木，百年树人”之意，称为“树人堂”。

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”.

树人堂属于圣约翰大学后一阶段建筑，式样更趋简化。她虽仍有中式大屋顶，进口处有中式挑檐，但除此以外，整体立面没有什么特别的扮饰，尤其是简练的矩形大窗使这幢建筑更显现代简约风格。

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，树人堂为华东体育学院办公楼。华东体育学院外迁后，改作华东政法学院教研室办公用房。2001年树人堂被用作学生宿舍。

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.
