Berry St., Fort Wayne, and its associated Main Street parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>The purchase of the Mizpah Shrine building and the associated parking lot brings the university&#8217;s downtown plan full circle, said University President Sister M. Elise Kriss. &#8220;It was our hope from the beginning to have this piece of the puzzle to secure sufficient parking for our Downtown Campus. Our expanded presence in downtown Fort Wayne creates a number of program and other opportunities for the university,&#8221; she said. The purchase effectively doubles the university&#8217;s downtown parking capacity.<\/p>\n<p>University officials signed a purchase agreement that will add the Mizpah Shrine building and parking lot to its Downtown Campus real estate holdings. The property is the third acquired to establish the Downtown Campus.<\/p>\n<p>The building is located between the university&#8217;s recently-acquired Chamber of Commerce building at 826 Ewing Street and the Scottish Rite Center, now the USF Performing Arts Center, at 431 W. Berry Street.<\/p>\n<p>The university purchased the Scottish Rite Center in January as a location for a new Media Entrepreneurship Training in the Arts (META) program and as a facility for use by the public for events, entertainment and meetings.<\/p>\n<p>In September, university officials announced their intention to purchase the Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce building as a home for the Keith Busse School of Business and Entrepreneurial Leadership, closing on that purchase this fall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Locating the school of business downtown near the business sector opens up a wide range of opportunities and also links to the recently announced META program, which includes an entrepreneurial focus,&#8221; President Kriss said. &#8220;The move also frees up more space on the Spring Street campus to serve the growing needs of programs there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The university will be completing its due diligence on the Mizpah Shrine and parking lot property in the coming months. The transaction is expected to be complete early in 2013.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/100064.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The Mizpah Shriners in the 2009 Three Rivers Festival Parade on July 11, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='bebe7428ba6a76b11c1604bb581fd6bb' data-image-id=\"3219\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/100064.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/thumbs\/thumbs_100064.jpg\" data-title=\"Mizpah Shriners\" data-description=\"The Mizpah Shriners in the 2009 Three Rivers Festival Parade on July 11, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Mizpah Shriners\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Mizpah Shriners\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"3219\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/thumbs\/thumbs_100064.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/2009-trf-parade\/100233.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"The University of Saint Francis float which was the Three Rivers Festival Parade&#039;s Best Overall Non-Commercial Division winner.
