St. Francis College opens brand new campus, programs
The college’s state-of-the-art campus at 179 Livingston St. created with student input
Earlier this week, Downtown Brooklyn’s St. Francis college began the academic year with a new state-of-the-art campus at 179 Livingston St. The original plan, announced in May of 2021 – after 60 years of being on Remsen Street – is a component of the college’s SFC Forward initiative. The Remsen Street building offers new mixed-use areas for students to socialize and collaborate and ensures a bright and open academic environment.
“Today is a momentous day for St. Francis College and the future of higher education in New York City,” said Miguel Martinez-Saenz, President of St. Francis College in a statement on Thursday. “From our labs equipped with the latest technology to our new hybrid learning model, we’re adapting to meet the needs of a 21st-century student body. Our new campus will open doors to the leaders of tomorrow, providing them with the tools and resources that will help them and their communities thrive.”
“I feel lucky to be here to witness how St. Francis College will transform and adapt to our new home,” said AnnaMaria Leal, President of SFC’s Student Government Association. “We have been given a blank slate, and it is our duty as students to take this opportunity to create the college of our dreams, to transform this new space into the school we hoped we could have had at 180 Remsen Street. This truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we, the students, are prepared to make the most of it.”
