Already lead donors in Saint Joseph's University's $150 million campaign, With Faith and Strength to Dare, James '58 and Frances Maguire have enhanced their commitment to the Campaign by expanding the gift challenge announced in September 2008. learn more>
The new campus, a 38-acre contiguous parcel along City Avenue, will be called the James J. Maguire '58 Campus in honor of alumnus Jim Maguire, who, along with his wife, Frannie, made a generous lead gift toward the purchase of the property.
With this single event, the issues associated with an infrastructure stretched to the limit following a more than two-fold increase in the student body are swept away. The Maguire Campus represents an astounding 58 percent increase to the University's current footprint and adds the following:
- 286,000 square feet of space
- 52 classrooms and 113 offices
- 8 laboratories
- 14.5 acres of playing fields
- 319 parking spaces
Among Catholic institutions in the Northeast, Saint Joseph's ranks near the bottom in total acreage. The Maguire Campus acquisition instantly changes this dynamic, providing much-needed breathing room and space for the arts, for program enhancement, for recreation, and especially, room for innovation.
