Gonzaga University is a private Roman Catholic university located in Spokane, Washington, United States. Founded in 1887 by the Society of Jesus, it is one of 28 member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities. It is named for the young Jesuit saint Aloysius Gonzaga. The campus houses 105 buildings on 152 acres (62 ha) of grassland along the Spokane River, in a residential setting one-half-mile (0.8 km) from downtown Spokane. The university was founded by Father Joseph Cataldo, SJ, an Italian-born priest and missionary. He established the Catholic school for local Native Americans whom he served.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Gonzaga University )〕 The university offers bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and doctoral degrees through its seven colleges, the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business Administration, School of Education, School of Engineering & Applied Science, School of Law, School of Nursing and Human Physiology, and the School of Professional Studies. ==Campus== Gonzaga campus consists of 105 buildings located on 152 acres.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gonzaga.edu/About/ataglance.asp )〕 The university is home to two large libraries.

Among the most notable are statues of St. Ignatius, St. Joseph, St. Aloysius, and alumnus Bing Crosby. The Jundt Art Center and Museum established in 1995 also features a variety of artwork from differing periods.〔 The spires of St. Aloysius Church are a landmark of the Spokane area.〔 Due to an expanding student body, Gonzaga is currently constructing a projected $60 million building that will serve as the new center of campus. The John J. Hemmingson Center, the new Circulus Omnium Gonzagaorum (COG), will replace the former COG that was utilized by students for over 60 years. The three-story, building will feature modern architecture and an all-glass exterior. Completion is estimated in Fall 2015.〔()〕 The university is also building the Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center, including a 750-seat theater.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Woldson gift to fund GU arts center )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gonzaga University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
