Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University held a blessing and ribbon cutting ceremony on Aug. 9 for its new signature building, St. Francis Hall.
The 75,000 square foot, three-story building will better accommodate student learning and development at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. St. Francis Hall represents the initial step in the development of the university’s campus master plan. Located at 5414 Brittany Drive, this building will serve as the front door to a cohesive and identifiable campus.
Driven by the University’s mission, the facility will provide an interactive and student-centered environment. The building will contain modular spaces that can support multiple educational activities and social events of varied sizes. Learning outside of the classroom will be facilitated by interactive student spaces adjacent to instructional spaces, promoting ongoing synergies between formal and informal learning, and enhancing the relationship-based education characteristic of a Franciscan University.
