CARUSO CATHOLIC CENTER
Our Facility
The USC Caruso Catholic Center opened its doors in 2012 following the completion of a 10-year building campaign. Our beautiful facility is situated one block north of the USC University Park Campus and directly across the street from the new USC Village on the corner of Hoover and 32nd Street.
The USC Caruso Catholic Center is home for the USC Catholic campus ministry team and staff operations. In addition to the office space, the Center includes a student lounge area (inside the Stevens Student Lounge), our McCarthy Library, 2 conference rooms, a large multipurpose space (Newman Hall), a catering kitchen, and courtyard patio.
