[edit] History

SFC's Administration Building

[edit] Baltic and Butler Street Campus

St. Francis College was founded by Franciscan Brothers in 1859 as St. Francis Academy, the first private school in the diocese of Brooklyn.[9][10] St. Francis Academy, dedicated to the education of the newly formed Brooklyn diocese’s Catholic boys, started in a building on Baltic Street. The Academy expanded and grew to encompass six row houses, with 150 feet (46 m) of frontage and a former Methodist Church on Baltic Street.[10] In 1868, the academy was incorporated and in 1884 it was chartered: the trustees of the Academy received permission from the state legislature to “establish a Literary College” and to confer diplomas, honors, and degrees.[10] St. Francis Academy became St. Francis College, and in June 1885 bestowed its first Bachelor of Arts degree. By 1884, St. Francis College encompassed interconnected buildings that were on Baltic and Butler Streets, between Court and Smith Streets. The entrance to the College was on Baltic Street and the entrance to the monastery was on Butler Street.[11] In 1926, the Franciscan Brothers opened a new facility on Butler Street.[12] In 1957, the Regents of the University of the State of New York granted an absolute Charter to the Trustees of the College and three years later, it embarked on an expansion program.

[edit] Remsen Street Campus

The College moved to Remsen Street, where it had purchased two office buildings from the Brooklyn Union Gas Company, allowing it to double its enrollment. One of the office buildings went on to become SFC's Administration Building and was constructed in 1914, by Brooklyn architect Frank Freeman. In 1969, the college became a co-educational institution and additional property was purchased on both Remsen and Joralemon Streets. The College expanded its facilities with the construction of the Science and Technology Building, the Generoso Pope Athletic Complex, and the Student Services Building which also has housing to accommodate the Franciscan Brothers and provide more space for faculty.

In spring 2003, St. Francis College completed a new athletic and event facility atop the College’s Generoso Pope Athletic Complex: the Anthony J. Genovesi Center. In fall 2005, the 35,000-square-foot (3,300 m2) Frank & Mary Macchiarola Academic Center opened, which included the new St. Francis College Library, classrooms equipped with wireless internet access, smart boards and multimedia technology, a theater/lecture hall, updated facilities for the Communication Arts department, gathering spaces such as a lounge with Wi-Fi for students, and office space for several academic departments. The Frank & Mary Macchiarola Academic Center was built where the old McGarry Library once stood. The old library was housed in "a little 1857 palazzo a half block from Brooklyn's Borough Hall,"[13] and was part of the purchases made from the Brooklyn Union Gas Company in 1960.

Many subway lines serve Brooklyn Heights, specifically the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C, F, M, and R.
