FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) - The leader of the University of St. Francis says $15 million in construction projects will transform the school’s Fort Wayne campus.
The private Roman Catholic college held a groundbreaking ceremony Monday for construction of a free-standing chapel and the expansion and renovation of its science building.
University President Sister Elise Kriss says both projects are overdue for the 2,300-student school.
Plans call for the 250-seat chapel to be finished by the end of 2018, becoming the tallest building on campus. The Achatz Hall of Science project will start with construction of a new glass atrium and lounge areas, followed by renovation of the current 49-year-old building. Its completion is expected in 2020.
The projects are part of the school’s current $22.7 million fundraising campaign.
