Within the school's first five years, the institution became very popular amongst the local Catholic community. This early success soon necessitated a larger facility. In 1931 a new building was purchased downtown at the junction of Ellice and Vaughan. Over the summer, the building, formerly Manitoba College, was refurbished by the new diocesan faculty.
With the relocation to this new campus, the College experienced many momentous changes. Proximity to the University of Manitoba led to their official affiliation in 1931. New facilities, including a chapel, football field, and auditorium (as of 1932), encouraged the organization of many new extracurricular activities and school programs.
A new school building was constructed in 1932 to accommodate the growing student population. The modern facility provided the school with much-needed space and many amenities that couldn't be added to the main college building.
For many years this site served as the home of St. Paul's College. When, in 1958, the Arts section relocated to Fort Garry, it set in motion a new stage in the school's history.
