Saint Francis College became the University of Saint Francis in 1998 and has grown to include multiple resident halls and academic facilities. It is highly recognizable in Fort Wayne because of the Brookside mansion, built by the industrialist John Bass and housing the President's Office and other administrative offices. Other landmark buildings include the St. Francis Chapel, Achatz Hall of Science and John and Toni Murray Research Center, the Pope John Paul II Center and the Doermer Family Center for Health Science Education.
