Located on Seminary Road just northwest of the College of Education, St. Pius X Seminary was constructed in 1966. Designed by Tinos-Kortes and owned by the Saskatoon Catholic Diocese, the building was named to honour Pope Pius X (1903-1914), who in 1904 directed the new Code of Canon Law. The stone clad structure contained facilities for 32 seminarians including a chapel.

It was converted into a student residence operated by St. Thomas More (STM) College in 1996 and renamed Ogle Hall in honour of the former Rector, Father Bob Ogle, shortly after his death in 1998.

In 2007, STM College decided to shift its focus away from administered a residence in favour of activities that more directly support its Catholic mission. Ogle Hall was purchased by the University of Saskatchewan from STM in 2010 for $950,000. The transfer of ownership took place on June 30, 2011.

In 2012, the university signed a 20-year agreement with the nearby Canadian Light Source, allowing it to be used as a residence for researchers at the CLS. A name change is also being comtemplated.
