Welcome to St. Paul

The St. Paul campus is the original campus of the University of St. Thomas, founded in 1885. The campus straddles the Merriam Park and Macalester-Groveland neighborhoods. Campus buildings range from those built in the 1800’s to recent campus additions such as The Iversen Center for Faith and two new residence halls which opened in 2020. We are planning a new facility on the St. Paul campus, with a groundbreaking in spring 2022, which will offer additional event venues in the coming years.
