St Joseph Center
The St. Joseph Center opened in 2019 and is SHU’s facilities building that houses the campus operations management team. The team oversees residence halls facilities, custodial services, tech services (electrical, HVAC, plumbing, carpentry, painting), general maintenance, landscape services and infrastructure management. Because of the hard work of the campus operations team in managing the growth of SHU facilities while keeping everything running and beautiful, it was fitting to name their building after St. Joseph the Worker. Saint Joseph was the husband of Mary, mother of Jesus and is considered Jesus’ lawful father. He is regarded as the patron saint of workers.
