Anna Heubeck Knipp was president of the very first graduating class of Goucher in 1892, a class of only five. She was a founder and president of the Alumnae Association, and she served as a member of the college's Board of Trustees for many years. She also co-authored the history of the college with Professor Thaddeus Thomas, which she finished after his death. Heubeck Hall, the second residence hall built, was dedicated in her honor on May 6, 1957, and she was the first guest at the first meal in that hall. She died in 1966 at age 95.

On the first floor of Heubeck Hall is the campus Health Center, which is open Monday to Friday, from 9:00am-5:00pm. Adjacent to the Health Center are the Office of Campus Safety and Office of Residential Life. The students living in Heubeck are upperclassmen and all of the rooms have central air.
