CCSJ Professor Alex da Silva instructs students in one of the college’s new science labs.

Faculty and staff of Calumet College of Saint Joseph, Missionaries of the Precious Blood, and friends of the college and the Congregation gathered in September to celebrate the college’s expansion.

Included in the 21,000-square-foot project were new science labs, art rooms, a new library entrance, student commons and a bookstore. The well-lit and spacious areas give the college, which is sponsored by the Missionaries, room to grow into its promising future. Next spring, one of the science labs will be dedicated in memory of Br. Jerry Hall, C.PP.S., who was a member of the CCSJ faculty and was instrumental in designing the new labs.

The college serves the working-class neighborhoods east of Chicago. Many of its students are the first in their families to attend college.
