Honoring the birth name of Pope Francis, a tradition for student living quarters at Sacred Heart, Bergoglio Hall is situated at the northern approach to the campus. Designed by Centerbrook to transition sophomores to independent living while maintaining individual support, the 216-bed facility places students in small neighborhood-like clusters consisting of groupings of four-bed suites that share a local lounge, kitchen and laundry along with other amenities.

Steven Stimson Associates produced the beautiful and extensive landscape design that seamlessly integrates the residence hall into the existing campus.”
