Weber Center

A modern, flat-roofed building with gray brick walls and three large, arched windows on one side. The structure is surrounded by a well-maintained grassy lawn under a clear blue sky. Shadows cast on the building indicate bright sunlight.

A spacious room with a stage at the front, numerous folding chairs arranged in rows, and a grand piano on the stage. The room has several tall windows and a wooden floor. A large, rectangular table is in the foreground.

Architect: Rafferty, Rafferty, Tollefson

Saint John’s Preparatory School began construction on the Weber Center addition in November of 1996. Weber Center is named in honor of Fr. Otto Weber, OSB, Fr. Arnold Weber, OSB, and the entire Bernard and Louise Weber family. The addition serves as a community space for student gatherings, music, worship, and banquet events. The 7,400 square foot expansion was built directly next to SJP and overlooks Lake Sagatagan and St. John’s woods.
