Built in 1951 to house seminarians attending St. Bonaventure, Francis Hall has been retrofitted over the years to serve a number of university needs, from student housing, classrooms and auxiliary dining facilities to offices for various departments.

Its transformation into a home for the Dennis R. DePerro School of Health Professions is the biggest, most dramatic transformation to date. The months-long project included major exterior renovations as well as the gutting of interior spaces in order to construct classrooms and labs geared specifically for health-related programs.

Three floors of the building are now utilized for the school.

The garden level includes a new physical diagnosis lab — 3,000 square feet of space that includes three exam rooms, 20 clinic exam tables, and inpatient hospital style beds. This level also includes student locker rooms, laundry facilities and a student breakout room.

The main floor houses academic offices and instruction space including modern, high-tech classrooms with computers, microphone and speaker systems, high-end web cameras, projectors and TV displays, and a number of group study spaces with TVs as well as laptop and wireless connections. There is enhanced WiFi throughout the facility.'

The renovation project also included improvements to approximately 125 student residence rooms on the building's upper floors.
