History

Baltic and Butler Street Campus

In 1858, Brother John McMahon, O.S.F., and Brother Vincent Hayes, O.S.F., from the Roundstone Monastery in Ireland came to the United States to begin work on establishing an academy dedicated to educating underprivileged youth in the Brooklyn diocese. This was done at the request of the Bishop of Brooklyn, Reverend John Loughlin. In 1859, St. Francis College was founded as the St. Francis Academy, the first Catholic school in

From this time on, the college's curriculum offered only a post-secondary course of study. By 1917, the college's enrollment dropped to half, due to students enlisting in the military as the United States entered

As the U.S. moved closer to its entrance into World War II, 240 students were enrolled at St. Francis. While the student body remained mostly Irish, the changing demographics of working-class Brooklyn were reflected in the growing number of Italian-American students. By the spring semester of 1944, when the war was at its peak, the number of students enrolled had dropped to 45. Most of those still enrolled were members of the Franciscan order and those exempt from military service (12 SFC students gave their lives to the war effort).

The new corporate status enabled St. Francis students to qualify for federal financial aid. Shortly after, in 1959, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education accredited St. Francis College. After these developments, the college embarked on an expansion program. In 1960, it was announced that five office buildings in the Brooklyn Civic Center were purchased for $5 million from the Brooklyn Union Gas Company. In 1961, the college purchased the

St Francis College - Administration Building (48228098122)

In 1963, the college relocated to Remsen Street in

, where it had purchased five 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. It was constructed in 1914 by Brooklyn architect Frank Freeman. The college started the expansion of its facilities with the construction of the Science and Technology Building in 1968, the Generoso Pope Athletic Complex in 1971, and the Student Services Building, which also had housing to accommodate the Franciscan Brothers and provided space for faculty. In 1969, the college became a co-educational institution, and additional property was purchased on both Remsen and Joralemon Streets, allowing enrollment to exceed 3,000 students. In 2003, St. Francis College completed a new athletic and event facility atop the college's basketball court: the Anthony J. Genovesi Center. In fall 2005, the Frank and 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

The old library was housed in "a little 1857 palazzo a half-block from Brooklyn's Borough Hall" and was part of the original purchase made from the Brooklyn Union Gas Company in 1960.

Livingston Street Campus

In the summer of 2022, after nearly 60 years at Remsen Street, St. Francis College moved to a new facility at 179 Livingston Street in Downtown Brooklyn. Key features of the new campus include a 260-seat cafeteria with servery and kitchen; a 50-seat outdoor terrace exclusively for use by SFC students, faculty, and staff; a 38-seat chapel; a 300-seat auditorium; a 32-seat tiered screening room; a 6,600-square-foot library with space for study and research; two art galleries; and ample space for student gatherings.
