The Grotto: Still Influencing Us Today

The Garden of Gethsemane and Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto across State Road 52 takes people into a different atmosphere. The tunnel of trees that light cannot pierce lead the way to what people at the University nickname “The Grotto.” For many years, The Grotto has been used as a place for peace and spiritual refreshment. However, many students of the University go for a different experience: for a night to be scared by the unknown. But it is not just the unknown of the darkness and dense foliage that students are unfamiliar and uninformed with; students, along with many other people who visit The Grotto or affiliated with the University, do not know the true meanings behind the statues and designs, or even why The Grotto exists. Brother Stannis Law, Prior of the Saint Leo Abbey, aids in bringing more of an appreciation for The Grotto by sharing his research and insight about its history.

Building a Dedicated History

Saint Edward Hall, which is currently the main office space for many faculty and staff members, began its construction in 1926. However, at this time, the hall was not meant to be the office space that it is today; rather, it was to be designed as a dormitory – the first ever at the school – for students. It was completed by the Christmas of that year and cost around $250,000 to complete. Each of the offices used to be living spaces for students, and many offices were once used for other purposes; for example, one office may have been used as a shower, and another as a reception room. A library was also once stationed at what is now known as Trane Stop. In 1940, loudspeakers were placed above the building and were used to broadcast the new campus radio station WLEO.The first time you ever set foot on the University’s main campus, you were probably awestruck by the overall beauty of it; behind all of this, however, the history of the campus remained a mystery to you, the answers lying in wait in the buildings that populate the campus. What did all of these buildings represent? Where did they come from? This article takes a look at several buildings currently and previously on campus and explores some of their origins and histories.
