===Modernization period=== Beginning in the late 1960s and continuing in the next two decades, the university saw the construction and modernization of a large number of facilities and the construction including the library, science building, residence halls, and the university center. Many new programs and majors were inaugurated, as were important social outreach efforts. New ties were established with the private and industrial sectors, and a growing partnership developed with federal and state governments in creating programs for the economically and educationally disadvantaged.<ref name="history"/> The 1970s and 1980s continued to be a time of growth and renewal. New business and nursing classroom buildings and an art center were opened. In 1984, the Immaculate Conception Seminary returned to Seton Hall, its original home until 1926, when it moved to Darlington (a section of [[Mahwah, New Jersey|Mahwah]] centered on a grand mansion and estate). The Recreation Center was dedicated in 1987. With the construction of four new residence halls between 1986 and 1988 and the purchase of an off-campus apartment building in 1990, the university made significant changes to account for a larger number of student residents. Seton Hall is recognized as a residential campus, providing living space for about 2100 students.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://studentaffairs.shu.edu/housing/residencehalls.html|title=Housing Information|work= SHU Housing & Residence Life|year= 2007 |access-date= 2008-01-04 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071223073747/http://studentaffairs.shu.edu/housing/residencehalls.html |archive-date = December 23, 2007}}</ref> [[File:Walshlib1.jpg|thumb|left|The Walsh Library in fall.]] The physical development of the campus continued in the 1990s. The $20 million Walsh Library opened in 1994, and its first-class study and research resources marked the beginning of a technological transformation of Seton Hall (current university library holdings are over 500,000 volumes). The university dedicated its newest academic center in 1997, originally named Kozlowski Hall for Dennis Kozlowski, former CEO of [[Tyco International]]. It was renamed Jubilee Hall following Kozlowski's criminal conviction in 2005.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kaplan |first=David A. |date=2015-03-01 |title=Tyco’s ‘Piggy,’ Out of Prison and Living Small |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/02/business/dealbook/dennis-kozlowskis-path-from-infamy-to-obscurity.html |access-date=2025-01-31 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Its recreation center was originally named after Robert Brennan, but he was found guilty of securities fraud in 1994.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Brennan, Robert, American businessman and criminal |url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Robert-Brennan |access-date=2025-01-31 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en}}</ref> It has since been renamed for athletic director [[Richie Regan]].
