 After being unused for a number of years, the midcentury academic complex was sold to the University of Ottawa in January 2007.The university was reorganized on 1 July 1965 as a corporation independent from any outside body or religious organization, becoming publicly funded.As a result, the civil and pontifical charters were transferred to the newly created Saint Paul University, federated with the corporation, while the remaining civil faculties were retained by the reorganized university.
