Inscription.
Schwab Hall served as the home to the Saint Francis science program until 1962, when Sullivan Hall was opened to accommodate the school's growing science curriculum. Since then it has functioned in many capacities during the growth and continuing development of Saint Francis University. In 2016, after an extensive reconstruction, it became the home of the Shields School of Business. The university preserves the 'Science Hall' designation above the entrance to recognize the building's rich history.
