History
Named for the college’s founder, Msgr. John Joseph Jessing, the
Jessing Center served as the Josephinum's library until 1982, when the
space was no longer adequate to house the seminary's growing number
of library holdings. The library moved to the main building, leaving
the original library vacant for multi-purpose use. Over time, the Josephinum
identified a need for a modern facility to serve as an educational resource
and to provide a means of outreach to the community. In 1997, an $8
million renovation transformed the building into a state of the art
facility of unparalleled excellence.
