Early renovations to exterior of Saint Anthony Hall

The Old Building

Saint Anthony Hall was opened in the fall of 1959 and was home to 64 classes of freshmen and sophomores. The building served the Seminary well for many years, but has undergone many years of use and exposure to the harsh Wisconsin winters.

The majority of the plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning and electrical systems are original to building and in need of code-compliant replacement. No sprinkler system is installed and the roof is due for replacement. The hall is in need of some major renovations including the addition of more modern housing quarters for the next generation of seminarians.
