The Cousins Center is a 415,000 square foot facility on 44 acres across the road from the shore of Lake Michigan.
...the building opened as a preparatory seminary in 1963 and was converted to an [Archdiocesan] office and conference center in the early 1980s as vocations dwindled.
There was a lot of construction of churches and convents around that time. It turned out to be a golden age for the concrete block industry, if not for the Archdiocese.
As to the new auxiliary bishop, Archbishop Dolan has suggested three priests to Pope Benedict, but the pope is not limited to those names. The only more detailed information I've seen was what Mike posted, and that was a year ago.
