Founded in 1963, Sacred Heart University started as a commuter school, having converted from a Catholic high school that opened its doors in 1955. While over the years, new academic and residential buildings were added informally, they had yet to contribute toward making it a traditional campus atmosphere. However, when a neighboring assisted living facility relocated and put its land up for sale, Sacred Heart University took advantage of an acquisition that has since transformed the entire campus.
