A New Home for Our Seniors: Father Solanus Hall
The current senior dorm, Saint Francis Hall, has served the seminary since 1917. During these many years of service, relatively few updates were done. The antiquated mechanical system, lack of ADA accessibility and fire suppression systems has warranted the building of a whole new dorm. Father Solanus Hall will provide a space for studies, recreation, and relaxation. The building will be similar to residence halls found at universities, with expanded apartments for friars or lay staff as their advisors. The lower entry level will house the common spaces, while the upper two levels will house the seminarians and their supervisors’ living quarters.

- Ten “Quads” each housing four seminarians.
