Milwaukee university acquires site for expansion

Cardinal Stritch University in Milwaukee has reached an agreement with the Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee to buy the 415,000-square-foot Cousins Center and its approximately 44-acre site in St. Francis. The purchase would enable Stritch to expand beyond its largely landlocked 38-acre main campus. The Cousins Center was constructed as a high school seminary in 1963. It closed as a preparatory seminary in 1980, and the archdiocesan central offices moved there in 1983.
