The turn-of-the-century mansion and carriage house, which together hold 30,000 square feet, will be used for online learning, office space, gatherings, performing and visual arts space.  The 54,000- square-foot event center, built in 1990, will be for university events as well as for public rental.

Saint Mary’s also announced it will begin a campaign to raise funds for renovations of the buildings.
