The buildings in this quad, which house dormitories, classrooms, apartments, offices and the campus computer center, were constructed in four phases from 1960 to 1968. The quad was named in 1973 for the Dutch village of Witmarsum, the birthplace of Menno Simons (ca. 1496-1561). Menno played an important leadership role in the Anabaptist movement after he joined it in 1536, and it is from him that the Mennonites take their name.

The Wiebe Education Center, completed in 1990 and expanded in 1993, is named for Arthur J. Wiebe. Wiebe has served the university as president (1960-1975), professor of mathematics education and president of the AIMS Education Foundation, which provided most of the funding for the building.

These buildings, which house dormitories and student government offices, were built in four phases from 1960 to 1971. In 1973 the quad was named after the French city of Strasbourg, which was a refuge during the 1520s for persecuted Anabaptists.

The south wing of the quad was named in 1990 for Arthur and Lydia Krause of Reedley, California, and the north wing in 1994 for Marvin and Loree Schlichting, then of San Jose, California, in honor of both families' support for the university.

The university athletic complex is named for the family of Marvin and Nadene Steinert. Marvin Steinert was a trustee of the university from 1971 until 1981. In 1977 the Steinerts and their sons, Max, Randy, and Gary--all three of whom are alumni of Fresno Pacific University--donated money to purchase the land on which the complex is now located.

It includes the Ramirez Soccer Field (named for Soccer Coach Jaime Ramirez), the Harold and Betty Haak Tennis Complex (named for former FPU President Harold Haak and his wife Betty), a track, and a baseball stadium.

Like the Steinert Athletic Complex, this building is named for Marvin and Nadene Steinert. Completed in 2003, it houses food services and cafeteria facilities, student life offices, a student lounge and recreation facilities.

This was the first building constructed after moving the campus from downtown Fresno to Chestnut Avenue in 1959, and for many years it did not have a formal name. In 1973 it was named in honor of Michael Sattler (ca. 1490-1527), a leader of the Swiss Anabaptist movement. Sattler was the author of the 1527 Schleitheim Confession, the earliest confession of faith of the Swiss Anabaptists. He was martyred for his faith in 1527.

Completed in 1970 to provide additional space for the Mennonite Brethren Biblical Seminary and offices for various Mennonite Brethren Church agencies, this building was originally known as the "Seminary-Conference Building." In addition to conference offices for the United States and Pacific District Conference of Mennonite Brethren Churches, the original building also included a seminary chapel and classroom.
