The University of Saint Francis in Fort Wayne is developing a campus mater plan that includes a new, centralized student center with a lake view. The USF Board of Trustees has approved the trajectory of the master plan, which includes short-term and long-term goals.
USF says the student center is a priority and would like to complete the project within two to four years.
“We at the University of Saint Francis are excited about moving ahead in heightening the campus experience for our students and working toward the long-desired launch of a student center,” said USF President Rev. Dr. Eric Albert Zimmer. “Our primarily undergraduate student population desires a center as a unifying element. We look forward to investing in our first-ever student center on the shores of Mirror Lake.”
USF is currently working on funding options for the student center which would include a bridge across Mirror Lake.
The university says in addition to the main campus student center, other campus expansion and improvements are part of the long-term master plan.
