Each residence hall is single-sex, with 17 all-male residence halls and 15 all-female residence halls. Notre Dame residence halls feature a mixed residential college and house system, where residence halls are the center of the student life and some academic teaching; most students stay at the same hall for most of their undergraduate studies. Each hall has its own traditions, events, mascot, sports teams, shield, motto, and dorm pride. The university also hosts Old College, University of Notre Dame, Old College, an undergraduate residence for students preparing for the priesthood. Notre Dame has an undergraduate hall system which blends the residential college system and the house system. All first-year students are placed in one of the 32 halls upon enrollment, and students rarely switch halls. Each hall has its own spirit, tradition, mascot, sport teams, events, dances and reputation. Approximately 80% of undergraduate students live on campus, and often a student lives in the same dorm for the entirety of their undergraduate career. Even students who move off campus tend to maintain strong bonds with their affiliated residence hall. A huge segment of student life happens through residence halls and students develop a particular attachment to their undergraduate hall. Each residence hall is directed by one Rector with the assistance of two Assistant Rectors and a variable number of Resident Assistants (from 4 to 9). Every residence hall has a chapel where Mass is held multiple time per week, fields a variety of intramural sports teams, elects one senator to represent the dorm in Student Government, and elects a president and vice president(s) which work through the Hall Presidents Council (HPC) student organization. Interhall football between Notre Dame male dorms is the only interhall tackle football which has remained at any US university. Notre Dame residence halls are the center of the campus student life, and each one hosts signature events, like the Keenan Revue, the Zahm Hall Bun run, Fisher Regatta, the Siegfried Day of Man, The Dillon Hall Pep Rally and many others. Each dorm has its own architectural features, some of which were designed by famous architects such as Willoughby J. Edbrooke, Maginnis & Walsh and Ellerbe Becket, Thomas Ellerbe, and each hall has a chapel dedicated to the Hall's patron saint. With the exception of Carroll Hall, the residence halls are split among six main segments of the campus: Main (God) Quad, South Quad, North Quad, Mod Quad, West Quad, and East Quad. While Carroll is officially part of South Quad, it has its own lawn by Saint Mary's Lake informally called ''Far Quad'' due to its distance from the rest of the halls. All first-year students are not only guaranteed on-campus housing, but are required to reside on campus for at least six semesters, starting with the Class of 2022. Many of the halls were inserted in 1973 on the

History


Origins (1843-1888)

When the first students arrived on campus in the fall of 1843, they all resided in a two-story brick building built by Sorin that spring, a building known today as Old College, University of Notre Dame, Old College. In the fall 1844 the first Main Building (University of Notre Dame), main building (then called college building because it housed virtually the entire college) was constructed with the help of the architect Marsile of Vincennes. The structure was a four-story brick building eighty feet long by thirty-six feet wide, 4 1/2-story high with a small cupola (but not yet a dome) with a bell in it, in French style. The third floor housed both the student dormitories and the residences for priests and brothers; with additional dormitory space on the fourth floor. Two lateral wings (which gave the building the shape of an H) were opened in 1853. In 1865 this structure was replaced by the second iteration of the main building, which hosted student dormitories on its fourth and fifth floor. This building burned down in the great fire of 1879, but its successor, the current main building, was swiftly reconstructed and once again hosted most of the university's facilities, including student dormitories. By the mid-1880s, two lateral wings were added to each building to add dormitory space bringing the length of the building from 224 feet to 320. Like all incarnations before, these were open

areas, with no private rooms. In the fall of 1890, the names of Carroll and Brownson Hall were given to dormitories in the west half and the east half of the main building respectively, and portraits of Orestes Brownson and Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Charles Carroll had been ordered to be placed in the respective halls. The 1892 Golden Jubilee history of the university stated that Carroll Hall was named after John Carroll (archbishop of Baltimore), John Carroll, who was the first Bishop (Catholic Church), bishop in the United States.


Early years and growth (1888-1965)

Sorin Hall, erected in 1888, was the first dormitory built specifically to host students at the University. During the early mid-1880s, the Holy Cross priests experimented with private rooms for upperclassmen with high academic grades and the results were positive. Since the Main Building was overcrowded with students, Father Edward Sorin decided to build a freestanding dormitory to expand residential space for students and alleviate the housing shortage. It was the first of its kind among all Catholic universities and one of the first among colleges across the country. As of 1891, juniors and seniors of the collegiate course were housed in Sorin Hall. Students between the ages of 13 and 17 were housed in Carroll Hall (west side of the main building), while those ages 17 and up were in Brownson Hall (east side). Students of different halls had little interaction outside of occasional shared classes. Pupils below 13, called the minims, had St. Edward's Hall to themselves and had their own facilities. Minims had little to no interaction with the other students. Freshman Hall and Sophomore Halls were built in 1922 and 1923 to accommodate a large influx of students. Total college student enrollment had increased to 1,425 by 1921. Sources reported that between 600 and 1110 students lived off campus in 1922, which meant that the university was also losing revenue opportunity by not offering housing and board to such students. Additionally, administration was worried that off campus student would not be able to benefit from bonding with teachers and other students. These two buildings were meant to be temporary and were cheaply made. Freshman Hall was built for $39,600 and placed north of the Notre Dame Fieldhouse, roughly where Breen-Phillips is today, and run north to south. It was built to host 176 students in the summer of 1922, and it was constituted by a two-story white-frame building, 250 feet long and 45 feet wide. The interior walls were fiberboard while a single-story porch with four wood pillars was placed at the front of the dorm, giving an overall impression of a military barrack. Sophomore Hall was built for $69.000 in thirty-eight days in the summer of 1923. It was located east of St. Edward's Hall, running east to west. It faced the Gymnasium and was perpendicular to Freshman Hall. It was built to host 186 students in the summer of 1922, and it was a similar building to Freshman Hall, 300 feet long and 37 feet wide, and had a two-story porch. The two buildings were known as the ''Cardboard'' or ''Pasteboard Palaces'' because of their cheap construction. Occasionally, football players would run through the walls. Long term permanent housing was also built to increase supply of on-campus housing to keep up with the quickly growing student population. Lyons, Howard and Morrissey Halls were built between 1924 and 1927 to alleviate the on-campus housing shortage due to the rapid increase in student population after World War I. In 1929, president Charles L. O'Donnell, Charles L. O’Donnell decided convert St. Edward's Hall, which until then had hosted the boarding school program for younger children, into an undergraduate residence hall (since the college population was growing and space badly needed), under the direction of professor and architect Vincent Fagan in June that year. The open dormitory was converted into double rooms, while the chapel was left untouched, and the new hall opened in September to house 207 undergraduates. Construction of Dillon and Alumni was part of an extensive building program aimed at improving educational and living facilities, and increasing supply of on-campus residential facilities. In the 1940s, North Quad (Breen-Phillips, Cavanaugh, Zahm Hall, and Farley) housed freshman students and was also known as the Freshman Quad. The other dorms on the Main and South Quads, closer to classrooms and the dining halls, were reserved for upperclassmen.


Residential Hall model

Up until the 1960s, the residence halls were based on academic class, with three or four halls for freshmen, three for sophomores, and others for juniors and seniors. This system was meant to develop strong class spirit, but many students started advocating for stay-halls, where students could remain in the same hall for their entire undergraduate career. Those in favor argued that this could lead to stronger hall spirit and more efficient hall government, with only a quarter of students turning over every year. The administration was initially against this for its perceived effect on the freshmen. They believed that new students needed special attention and regulation, such as earlier curfew and more rules, and in addition they did not want to disrupt freshmen accommodation at the same time as they were developing the new First Year of Studies program. Eventually administration experiment with the new system. In the fall of 1965 Dillon, Farley, and Alumni were the first dorms to try the "stay-hall" system. The experiment proved to be successful, but most other residence halls initially rejected it because they did not want to have freshmen living in their halls. In 1967, Zahm and Breen-Phillips also adopted the new system, and eventually all dorms were converted to the current residential college model, where all students are placed in one dorm freshman year and students rarely switch halls.


Modern expansion and renovation (1960s-)

Two large hall, Flanner and Grace, were constructed in 1969 at a combined cost of 6.9 million dollars. These two halls, with their 11-stories and capacity for 530 students each, were much larger than previous halls. They also were among the first dorms to offer such amenities as kitchens on every floor, air conditioning, large weight rooms, and in-dorm food sales. Originally, 5 such towers were planned, together with a modernist chapel in Mod Quad, but only Flanner and Grace were ever built. Due to their huge size in student population, Flanner and Grace became known for their rowdiness and massive multi-story parties. When women were first admitted into the university in 1972, Walsh and Badin were the first to be converted to female halls. Breen-Phillips and Farley were converted into female dorms in 1973. increasing the female population from 360 to 775. Lyons followed suit in 1974. Renovations for the transition to a woman's dorm included increased storage facilities and more washing and drying equipment. One major expansion of the halls occurred in the late 1980s, with the opening of Mod Quad residence halls of Pasquerilla East, Pasquerilla West, Knott, and Siegfried Halls. These four halls were the first one built exclusively for women and were constructed because of the large increase in the female student population. Further expansion came in the 1996-1997 with the construction of four residence halls in the new West Quad (Welsh Family Hall, McGlinn, Keough Hall, and O'Neill Family). Each carried a similar plan and build and consisted mostly of doubles with some single and triple rooms and hosted between 262 and 282 students. This new construction coincided with the closure of Flanner and Grace as dorms, and their transition into office space. In order to maintain gender balance, female residents of Siegfried and Knott moved to the new Welsh Family and McGlinn and residents from Flanner moved to Siegfried and Knott in 1997. Residents from Grace moved to newly built Keough and O'Neill Family. Construction of new halls progressed steadily into the 21st century, with Duncan (2008), Ryan (2009), and Baumer (2019) built on West Quad, and Dunne and Flaherty, (2016) and Johnson Family (2020) built on the newly developed East Quad. Starting in 2017, the university moved towards a stricter residential model, with students required to stay on campus for their first three years. Notre Dame embarked in a thorough renovation of dormitories with the 2015 Residential Master Plan. Starting with Walsh Hall in the 2016-17 academic year, residential halls are undergoing yearlong renovations that include structural revamping, interior refurbishing, and expansion of amenities. Badin was renovated in 2017-18, Morrissey in 2018-19, Dillon Hall in 2019-20, Sorin Hall in 2021-2022, and Alumni Hall in 2022-23. In 2016, when the first renovation started, the Pangborn community moved into Flaherty Hall and Pangborn was converted into a "swing hall", that would host the residents of the hall undergoing a renovation. In 2021, it was announced that Zahm Hall would take the role of "swing hall" going forward, and Pangborn was re-established as a male hall. Communities that undergo renovation preserve their original hall name and character while living in the swing hall, for example exemplified by name "Alumni Community in Zahm Hall" in 2022-2023.


Organization

Each residence hall is directed by one Rector (academia), rector with the assistance of two assistant rectors (graduate or professional students) and a variable number of Resident assistant, resident assistants (from 4 to 9). Rectors act not only ad administrators, but also as counselors and mentors. Residence halls can also house priests in residence and faculty-in-residence.


Government

Each Hall elects its own hall government that runs its social life and plans events. It is made up of commissioners, representatives, and the elected Hall President and Vice President. Elections are coordinated by the Hall election coordinator. Halls prepare a variety of regular and monthly academic, social, volunteer oriented, spiritual, cultural, and athletic events. In particular, most halls have a service commissioner, since social service s a cornerstone of the Notre Dame student life. The weekly reunion of the hall government is termed Hall Council, and is led by the Hall President and Vice-President and the Hall Senator and all dorm commissioners are required to attend, and all members of the dorm are also free to attend. The Hall Presidents Council (HPC) reunites all hall presidents and serves as dedicated to improving student life, disseminating information, discussing common matters of residential life, and coordinating activities and facilitating programming among halls. It also runs the Hall of the Year competition. The Student Senate, which functions as the legislative body of the Student Union, is composed by one elected member from each residence hall.


Design and architectural styling

The earliest dorms, such as Sorin, St Edwards, Walsh, and Badin and were built under heavy French influence styles of Second Empire style and Châteauesque architecture. This style was the same as that used for the Main Building (University of Notre Dame), Main Building, Washington Hall (University of Notre Dame), Washington Hall, LaFortune Student Center, LaFortune and many of the earliest campus structures. While the architect for Sorin Hall was Willoughby J. Edbrooke, most of the other halls and structures were designed in house by members of the university themselves, such as Father Edward Sorin, Brother Charles Harding, Bro. Columkille Fitzgerald. Starting in the 1920s, the new architectural style prevalent on campus became Gothic Revival architecture, Neo Gothic. The complex formed Howard, Morrissey, and Lyons Halls, was designed in gothic architecture by Vincent Fagan and Francis Kervick, who were also professors of architecture at the University. These three buildings was constructed out in the usual yellow brick and a minimum of stone, in order to make them mesh better with the previous buildings and their surroundings. In line with the Gothic style, they feature pointed arches, spires, slate roofs, gables, and projecting bay of stone. Yet, they retain some elements of the French vernacular and Gothic Revival architecture, Victorian Gothic of the previous buildings on Main Quad. They also were influenced by Tudor Gothic style. A second wave of buildings was built int the 1930s by the Boston based firm of Maginnis & Walsh. Alumni and Dillon Hall were built in 1931. Compared with the buildings by Fagan and Kervick, the gothic style was closer to the Collegiate Gothic, with stone carvings and high gable roofs, and lacked those French vernacular elements that tied Howard, Morrissey, and Lyons to the Main Quad architecture. Maginnis and Walsh also built Zahm and Cavanaugh in the 1936–37, in a similar style but lacking the ornate exteriors and statuary of Alumni and Dillon. Breen-Phillips and Farley followed in similar style in 1939 and 1947. The advent of modern architecture also impacted residence hall style. Keenan and Stanford, built in 1957, are representative of functionalist architecture with a simple double-L shape plan, a flat roof, and little exterior ornamentation and was designed by Ellerbe Becket. Although built in 1950s simple and un-ornamented style, it still was built in brick with stone trims that hints of gothic style. Ellerbe Becket, which has a long collaboration with Notre Dame (that included Notre Dame stadium), also designed the Mod Quad halls built in the 1980s in modernist architecture. When the first Mod Quad dorms were built in this new modernist style, with flat roofs and little decoration, they were criticized for not integrating well with the previous styles.


Programs and traditions

Notre Dame residence halls are the center of the campus student life, and each one hosts signature events, like the Keenan Revue, the Zahm Hall Bun run, Fisher Regatta, the Siegfried Day of Man, The Dillon Hall Pep Rally and many others.


Intramurals

Every residence hall fields a variety of intramural sports teams. Interhall football between Notre Dame male dorms is the only interhall tackle football which has remained at any US university.

Cavanaugh Hall

Cavanaugh Hall is located directly south of Zahm Hall and is directly north of LaFortune Student Center. Cavanaugh houses around 200 undergraduate students. Its central location gives the dorm a good view of the Main Administration Building (University of Notre Dame), golden dome. The coat of arms is taken from the family arms of the Caomhánach, Cavanaugh Family, with the colors adapted to match the green and purple of the hall.


History

In the 1930s, enrollment at Notre Dame was increasing by about one hundred a year, but on campus space was limited. This both forced students to live far from campus and was a loss of potential room and board income for the university. President John Francis O'Hara decided to build three new residence halls to remedy this problem: Cavanaugh in 1936, Zahm Hall, Zahm in 1937, and Breen-Phillips in 1939. In order to accommodate these buildings it was necessary to demolish Freshman and Sophomore Halls (which were low quality temporary structures) and the east wing of St. Edward's Hall (University of Notre Dame), St. Edward's Hall. It was built in Collegiate Gothic and Tudor Revival architecture, Tudor revival style. It was named after Notre Dame's fifth president, Rev. John W. Cavanaugh, who has died only a year earlier. It was originally constructed to be the most northern and eastern building for the campus, however, this changed a year later when Zahm Hall was built. Architects were Maginnis and Walsh of Boston in a collegiate Gothic style, although less ornate and decorated than Alumni and Dillon Halls. During World War II, Cavanaugh, along with four other dorms, housed naval officers-in-training. Father Matthew Miceli served as Rector of Cavanaugh Hall from 1963 to 1990, holding the record at the time as longest-serving Rector of the same residence hall. He was beloved by the residents and affectionately referred to as “The Mooch”. In 1994, with female enrollment to the university increasing, the dorm was converted to a female dorm. The chapel is dedicated to the Holy Spirit. The current rector is Marlyn Batista.


Traditions

In the 1980s, its residents were called the Cavemen, supposedly in recognition of its large, cavernous basement, but more likely because Cavemen has the same first three letters as the Hall's name. An attempt was made to change the name to the Crusaders in 1988. The name was changed to the Cavaliers in 1994 and then to the Chaos. A tradition corn hole tournament is played every year, and many related activities take place in the preceding week. Mother-Daughter and Father-Daughter weekend are held alternatively in spring. Cavanaugh Hall has a rich community, and has been named "Back to Back Spirit Champs" for the past three years.

Dillon Hall


Duncan Hall

Duncan Hall is the second newest male dorm on campus. It is located on West Quad, between McGlinn Hall and the Golf Course.


History

Duncan was built as the first of four new dorms built by the university to alleviate overcrowding in the existing residence halls. It was the first built since the completion of the original four West Quad dorms (Welsh Family, Keough Hall, Keough, O'Neill, and McGlinn) in 1996/1997. It fills the space of former volleyball courts west of McGlinn Hall (University of Notre Dame), McGlinn Hall, filling the quad out to its western limit at Holy Cross Drive. Duncan Hall is named for its benefactor Raymond T. Duncan, Notre Dame class of 1952, a personal friend of Joe O'Neill, benefactor of O'Neill Family Hall (also on West Quad). The Duncan family has strong family ties to the University, including Duncan's father Walter (class of 1912), two of his brothers and two of his sons. The dorm broke ground in March 2007 and was completed in 17 months, on schedule, to be opened for its first residents during ordinary move-in in August 2008. Mackey Mitchell Architects was the designer of this project. The dorm incorporates features such as super-quads, which include private bathrooms, and super-doubles with bay windows, as well as a study lounge and social space in every section, 24-hour space with a large kitchen that hosts a food-service business called the Highlander Grille, and a basement with an exercise room. The rooms are larger than typical on-campus dorm rooms, and the dorm is generally viewed as relatively luxurious. The inaugural freshman class was filled, as with any other dorm, by the random process of the Office of Residence Life and Housing. Residents from other three classes, however, were selected through a random lottery process six months prior to move-in, choosing 150 students from a voluntary applicant pool. On Friday, October 3, 2008, Duncan Hall was formally dedicated, an event marked by a Mass in the chapel presided over by Fr. John I. Jenkins, John Jenkins, University president, and attended by the Duncan family and distinguished guests as well as the dorm's residents and hall staff.

Dunne Hall


Farley Hall

Farley Hall is a female dorm. It is located on North Quad between Breen-Phillips Hall and North Dining Hall. It was named after Rev. John "Pop" Falrey, C.S.C.


History

After World War II, Notre Dame saw a large increase in its student population, partially due to the influx of veterans under the new G.I. Bill. A record 4,400 students attended in 1946. To accommodate the increased population, president Hugh O'Donnell (priest), Hugh O'Donnell announced in 1946 the construction of a new hall north of Breen-Phillips, originally only known as "Project F", but later revealed to be named after John "Pop" Farley. John "Pop" O' Farley was one of the most well-known and beloved Notre Dame figures at the time. A native of Paterson, New Jersey, Paterson, in 1897 he came to Notre Dame to study for the priesthood. A gifted athlete, he earned nine varsity monograms: four in football, four in baseball, and one in track. As a senior, he was the captain of the 1900 Notre Dame football team, with a 6-3-1 record under head coach Pat O'Dea. He graduated in 1901, entered Holy Cross Seminary, and ordained a Holy Cross priest in 1907. He spent the remaining 32 years of his life at Notre Dame, with the exception of some years at the University of Portland. He served as the rector for Corby, Walsh, and Sorin Halls, where he gained a reputation as a strict disciplinarian and thanks to his track speed, he could chase rule breakers across the campus. He was known to patrol the streets of South Bend, Indiana, South Bend, by driving the university's horse-powered “Skive Wagon.” Despite his gruff attitude and the fact he never taught classes or preached on campus, he was known as a great counselor for students and was much beloved and a campus favorite, and he earned the paternal nickname "Pop". As a rector, he was involved in his dorm's interhall sports competitions, and did not miss attending sports events even after his leg was amputated after he suffered a stroke in 1937. He died on January 15, 1939 and was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery. In his honor, the Rev. John Francis "Pop" Farley, C.S.C. Award has been awarded since 1977 to university employees who distinguished themselves in service to students. Construction, which cost $730,000 began in the summer of 1946 and was concluded in time for the semester beginning September 1947. In February 1947, Rev. Joseph D. Barry, C.S.C. was announced as the first rector of the yet to be completed Farley Hall. Barry was known as the “front-line chaplain” who won the Silver Star and had Allied invasion of Sicily, landed in Sicily in July 1943 and was involved in Operation Avalanche, battles at Salerno, Battle of Anzio, Anzio, Southern France, and Germany with the 45th Army Division. Farley Hall offered a variety of rooms including singles, doubles, triples, and quads. The hall rectors for the 1948–49 academic year were reported in the September–October issue of the ''Notre Dame Alumnus'' magazine. Rev. Theodore Hesburgh was appointed as the new rector of Farley Hall for the 1948–1949 year, before being appointed later in 1948 as the executive vice president of the university. Rev. Charles Sheedy, C.S.C. succeeded Father Hesburgh as rector for the 1949–50 academic year. In 1965, together with Alumni and Dillon Hall, Dillon, it was the first dorm to try the "stay-hall" system, in which residents could stay all four years in the same hall rather than being divided by class as they were up until the 1960s. Farley became one of the 5 original women's dorms in 1973 when the university opened its doors to women. Sr. Jean Lenz was the first female rector and wrote of her experiences in her book, Loyal Sons and Daughters. She served as rector of Farley from 1972 to 1983, returned to live in Farley after retiring in 2008 and remained until her passing in 2012. In the 1970s, under the direction of Sr. Lenz, the basement of the hall hosted "Motel Farley", a large open space with bunk beds that could host 36 girls, who were usually girls visiting from other schools or girlfriends of Notre Dame guys.


Traditions

The dorm's signature even is Pop Farley Week, a series of events that takes place in January and includes skits, hall decoration, and a dancers.

Fisher Hall

Fisher Hall is a male dorm located on South Quad, between South Dining Hall and Pangborn Hall (University of Notre Dame).


History

After World War II, Notre Dame saw a large increase in its student population, partially due to the influx of veterans under the new G.I. Bill. A record 4,400 students attended in 1946. To accommodate the increased population, president John J. Cavanaugh, John J Cavanaugh initiated the construction of Farley Hall. The hall, which cost $762,00, was made possible due a 1 million dollar donation by Sally Fisher in honor of her late husband, Fred J. Fisher, the first president of the Fisher Body, Fisher Body Company in
Detroit Detroit ( , ; , ) is the largest city in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is also the largest U.S. city on the United States–Canada border, and the seat of government of Wayne County. The City of Detroit had a population of 639,111 at th ...
, and former member of the board of trustees. The remaining money was allotted for financial aid for students. Originally it was meant to be built north of Farley Hall (where the North Dining Hall stands today), but it was later changed to the present location. It was constructed in 1952 by Peter Schumacher and Sons Construction Co. of Mishawaka in the shape of a T. The original plans had to be adapted due to rising costs, and while the east wing was built with four floors, the west wing (containing the chapel) was only built to one floor, and the north–south wing only to two (although more were added later). When it opened, it contained 120 single rooms and 18 doubles and a social lounge, study room, and recreation room, and it was reserved for upperclassmen. It was flat roofed and not built in the traditional collegiate Gothic style of South Quad. Summer 2001 renovations included a new social space and a new chapel. Over the years, renovations to Fisher Hall have created a mix of single, double, and quad rooms. Fisher Hall contains more single rooms than most other dorms at Notre Dame, and consequently receives several students who "float" for singles from across campus. Fisher's sister dorms are Howard and Badin.


Traditions

Fisher Hall's signature event is the Fisher Regatta, hosted annually at the end of the spring semester. It consists of a race of boats made by students together with refreshments, games, and prizes. No conventional watercraft are allowed to compete, and no gasoline engines or motors are allowed, although paddles and oars less than 5 feet are permitted. The vessels can at times be outlandish, such as St. Edwar's Hall in 1991 who competed with a floating replica house, complete with a doghouse. Starting with the fourth annual edition in 1990, residence halls could submit as many vessels as desired, with crews from 4 to 10 people. The 1997 edition saw 26 amateur vessels, and was sponsored by the Alumni Association, Papa John's Pizza, Coca Cola, and Subway Sandwhiches. The regatta was founded by freshman Jay Farraher (class of 1990) in 1987. Various dorms compete by submitting homemade boat entries in races on Saint Mary's Lake, located on campus. In the fall of 2002, a second signature event, the Fisher Hall Roofsit, was created to benefit a selected charity by having hall members sit on the roof of Fisher for 50 consecutive hours to commemorate the then 50th anniversary of the hall's construction. This event has been expanded over recent years to include a campus-wide dodgeball tournament, musical performances, and other social events. As of 2015, due to pressure from the university, the roofsit was discontinued. A big "F" letter hangs on the side of the hall. The original insignia was placed in the 80s but was stolen by the residents of Pangborn Hall in 1991. It was replaced with a bigger plastic letter.

Keenan Hall


Keough Hall


History

Marilyn M. Keough Hall was dedicated on September 27, 1996. It is located on West Quad across from South Dining Hall with neighbors McGlinn Hall, O'Neill Family Hall, and Welsh Family Hall. Keough Hall is named after Marilyn Keough, wife of Donald Keough, who served as chairman of Notre Dame's Board of Trustees from 1986 to 1992. It was built as one of several replacement dorms for Flanner Hall and Grace Hall, both of which were turned into administrative buildings. The construction of halls on West Quad served to relocate students from Flanner and Grace. These two dorms, which each contained more than 500 students and spanned 11 floors, were converted into faculty, administration, and office space. The majority of Grace residents went to either O'Neill or Keough. The four new dorms built on West Quad were all of similar plan and build, each consisting mostly of double with some single and triple rooms, and hosting between 262 and 282 students. Fr. Tom Doyle, C.S.C. served as Keough Hall's first Apostolic rector, Rector. Upon completing his

training, he helped to dedicate Marilyn M. Keough Hall in August 1996. Fr. Tom was ordained a priest in the Congregation of Holy Cross in the Spring of 1998 amidst his family, friends and 250 spirited young Men of Keough Hall. Doyle now serves as the Executive Vice President of University Relations at the University of Portland. Fr. Pete Jarret, C.S.C. arrived as rector in 2001 and led the community until 2006. Mark DeMott served as interim rector for the 2006–2007 school year. Keough Hall's current Rector is Gabriel J. Griggs, CSC.


Traditions

Despite its young history, Keough Hall residents have established themselves as an up-and-coming dorm community with great enthusiasm and brotherhood, winning Men's Hall of the Year in 2009. They most recently won Men's Hall of the Year in the 2021-22 academic year. Every fall the dorm hosts the Keough Hall Chariot Race, in which the different sections within Keough, as well as other dorms, build chariots to race against one another. The day-long event is followed that night by a dance. In the spring, Keough once held a dance formal called the White Wedding in which the members of the dorm create a comical mock wedding ceremony for other members of the dorm and their dates. Late in the year the dorm hosts the Aussie Fest, which usually wraps up the year with a cookout, games and music. The hall also hosts the Toga Dance, a “Rootreat,” and also organize summer service at St. Brendan’s Parish in Tanzania.

Knott Hall

Knott Hall, a male dorm, is located on Mod Quad close to Siegfried Hall and the Theodore Hesburgh Library.


History

It was built in 1988 as a women's hall and named after Marion Burk Knott since the money was donated by her husband and Baltimore philanthropist and businessman Henry Joseph Knott. They met in the early 1900s and got married in 1928 while he was taking classes at Loyola College and she was a live-in nanny for a family in Baltimore. Henry built a development empire in Baltimore and felt a duty to reinvest in the community that had given him the opportunity to thrive. He and Marion frequently answered calls for help from the city, from small personal loans to large donations to education and religious institutions. The Knott Foundation was created in 1977 to coordinate their philanthropic ventures, which serves Catholic and other charitable institutions in Baltimore and around the nations. The couple had 13 children, one of whom died at an early age of cancer. When originally built, the hall was a female dorm and home of the Knott Angels. When Grace and Flanner male dorms became administrative offices, residents from Grace moved to Keough Hall and O'Neill Family Hall. In order to maintain gender balance, female residents of Siegfried and Knott moved to Welsh Family Hall and McGlinn Hall and residents from Flanner moved to Siegfried and Knott in 1997. The most notable rector of Knott Hall is Br Jerome Meyer, C.S.C. Affectionately known by Juggerknotts as "Brojo", he was Knott's first rector as a men's dorm, and resided in Knott from 1997 to 2014. He earned his BA from Saint Edward's University and his M.Ed in Mathematics from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota, Saint Mary's College in Winona, Minnesota.


Description

The hall was built by Ellerbe Becket in modernist style. The chapel hosts a statue of Elizabeth Ann Seton donated to the hall by her grandson, Robert Seton.


Traditions

Knott men are nicknamed Juggerknotts. Their main rival is Siegfried Hall. Knott on the Knoll, the dorm's signature event, is a weekend of music hosted for the entire campus community. Other ventures include the Aiden Project charity for kids with cancer and the Splash Bash event (which includes food, inflatables, and water slides).

McGlinn Hall

McGlinn is located on West Quad, behind South Dining Hall and in between O'Neill Family Hall and Duncan Hall. Built in 1997, McGlinn is one of the newer dorms on campus and has modern day amenities, such as air conditioning and an elevator. With a capacity of 270 residents, McGlinn is the largest female dorm on campus. The coat of arms is taken from the McGlinn family, with the double headed eagle, while the shamrock is the symbol of the hall.


History

Constructed in 1997 through the contributions of Terrence and Barbara McGlinn, McGlinn Hall is one of the newest dorms at the University of Notre Dame. The Angels of Knott Hall (now a male residence) moved into McGlinn in the Fall of 1997 and quickly established the dorm as one full of spirit and pride. It joins Keough, O'Neill, and Welsh Family Halls on the West Quad – sometimes called the "Suburbs" because of the modern amenities of air conditioning, elevators, and the largest rooms on campus. McGlinn enjoys a convenient location, only a brief walk to the bookstore, athletic fields, South Dining Hall and Reckers. Sr. Mary A.

Pangborn Hall


History

It was the 15th building built on campus, and one of four that was dedicated in 1955. Pangborn and other dorms built in the 1950s were meant to be temporary housing to accommodate a spike in enrollment caused by the G.I. Bill. Pangborn represented a

step away from collegiate gothic. The building was designed by architects Holabird, Root and Burgee of Chicago. The hall was originally built as a residence for male students, when its nickname was the Violence, but was converted to a women's dorm in 1992 and became the Pangborn Phoxes. Pangborn again became a women's dorm for the 2020–21 school year and became the Pangborn Phoenixes. Pangborn's Chapel of the Annunciation of Our Lady, renovated in 1995, features carved-wood Stations of the Cross imported from northern Italy. The stained-glass windows honor eight saints canonized the year prior to the hall's dedication. In January 2016 it was announced that the residents of Pangborn hall would move to the newly built Flaherty Hall. Pangborn hall will serve as a "swing hall" to host students from halls undergoing renovations: members of Walsh Hall (University of Notre Dame), Walsh Hall for the 2016–17 academic year, members of Badin Hall for the 2017–2018 year, and members of Morrissey Hall (University of Notre Dame), Morrissey Hall for the 2018–2019 year. In the 2019–2020 Pangborn housed the members of a new community to move into Johnson Family Hall. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pangborn was used as housing for female students who had study abroad plans canceled as well as transfer students for the 2020-21 academic year. This brought change to the identity of Pangborn with the Phoenix selected as the new mascot and the Pang-Pong ping pong tournament as their signature event. There were plans for Pangborn to house the members of Sorin Hall during their renovation. However, with the closure of Zahm Hall beginning in the 2021-22 school year, Zahm will now be used as a transition dorm in place of Pangborn, and Pangborn will once again become a full time dorm for men under rector Fr. Bill Dailey, CSC. Upon being reestablished as a mens dorm again, the new members of Pangborn Hall chose "The Royals" as their mascot to fit the long time nickname of the hall, "The Pangborn Palace". The new mens hall members have also introduced traditions such as bedsheet banners for Notre Dame football games and cutting racing stripes into their hair as a sign of unity within the dorm.


Benefactor

Pangborn Hall was built in 1955, named for Thomas W. Pangborn and John C. Pangborn. The Pangborns made their money manufacturing sand-blasting-type equipment and headed the Pangborn Corporation in Hagerstown, Maryland. They were supporters of numerous educational, religious, scientific and charitable endeavors. Thomas Pangborn was bestowed upon with several papaw awards and titles. He was named a Knight of Malta by Pope Pius XII in 1949 and a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, Order of the Holy Sepulcher in 1951. Pope John XXIII dubbed him a Knight of Saint Gregory the Great in 1958. and on July 15th 1960, made him ''Cameriere d'onore soprannumerari di Spada e Cappa di Sua Santità'' (Papal gentleman, Chamberlain of the Sword and Cape). In 1964 Pope Paul VI awarded the title of Papal nobility, papal count through the Apostolic Nunciature to the United States, Apostolic Delegation to the United States. The Apostolic Delegate at the time of his appointment, Egidio Vagnozzi, stated that Pangborn was the only current American papal count, and the first one created by Paul VI. Pangborn also served as trustee of the Catholic University of America the University of Maryland, College Park, University of Maryland and was on the board of both Notre Dame and St. Mary's. He also donated funds for the Mount St. Mary's University#National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes. Pangborn park in Hagerstown, Maryland, Hagerstown, Pangborn Hall at the Catholic University of America, Pangborn Hall at Washington County, Maryland, Washington County Hospital, Pangborn Park in Hagerstown's East End and the Pangborn Memorial Auditorium at St. Mary's School are named after him.

Pasquerilla East Hall

Pasquerilla East Hall (referred colloquially as PE), is the home of the Pyros. The dorm's colors are red and black. Surrounding PE are the other three dorms on "Mod Quad," Knott Hall, Pasquerilla West Hall, and Siegfried Hall.


History

Pasquerilla East Hall was built in 1981 as a gift from Frank J. and Sylvia Pasquerilla. PE and its twin, Pasquerilla West, initially were built with the expectation that Pasquerilla's twin daughters would each occupy one of the halls during their senior years. At the time, the couple's donation of $7 million was the largest in the school's history by a living person. Initially, Frank Pasquerilla wanted the gift to be anonymous, but Fr. Theodore Hesburgh convinced him to disclose his name since it might attract other donors. The two halls were dedicated on November 13 and 14, 1981, with a series of events attended by Frank J. and Sylvia Pasquerilla and the inaugural residents of the halls. The events included a Dedication Musicale, Italian opera music program held in the library auditorium, a show of Italian art in the Snite Museum of Art, culminating in the "festa di Pasquerilla," an Italian cuisine luncheon in Stepan Center. Frank J Pasquerilla was an entrepreneur of Italian people, Italian descent from Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He was the president in 1953 and eventually sole owner in 1961 of Crown American construction company, and later invested in shopping malls and hotels. Frank Pasquerilla was a philanthropist for many cultural institutions in the Johnstown areas such as the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown and for many Catholic colleges, including Georgetown University and St. Francis College and was Knight Commander of the Order of St. Gregory the Great.

Additionally, PE's signature events are also a large part of the dorm's traditions, as Pasquerilla East has forged a strong bond with its sister charity. Although not specifically labelled as a PE tradition, Flag Football is one of the top interhall sports that Pyros participate in every year. Since 2013, the dorm's flag football team (known as PEFFB) has been coached by Notre Dame Fighting Irish football, Notre Dame football players, including DaVaris Daniels and Malik Zaire. In 2015, PEFFB was coached by Zaire as well as his teammates Sheldon Day and Cole Luke. As a result, the dorm's football team was featured on the Showtime (TV network), Showtime Special A Season with Notre Dame Football as a segment on the extracurricular lives of Zaire, Day, and Luke.

St. Edwards's Hall


Siegfried Hall

Siegfried is situated between Pasquerilla West Hall (University of Notre Dame), Pasquerilla West Hall and Theodore Hesburgh Library on Mod Quad.


History

Constructed in 1988 through the financial commitments of Robert M. ('37) and Raymond H. ('65) Siegfried from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tulsa. the building was converted from a female hall to a male hall in 1997 after Flanner and Grace Halls became office space. The female residents of Siegfried Hall moved to Welsh Family Hall (University of Notre Dame), Welsh Family Hall on West Quad. After the move, the new residents adopted the nickname "Ramblers" which was one of the former names used by the University before "Fighting Irish" was adopted. Siegfried is rivals with Knott Hall, the other male Mod Quad residence hall. Siegfried and Knott are the only two residence halls to convert from female to male, in order to preserve Mod Quad's gender balance when male dorms Flanner and Grace became offices.


Traditions

Siegfried raises funds for the South Bend Homeless Shelter through its annual Day of Man fundraiser. On this cold February day, the Ramblers venture out in only T-shirts, flip-flops, and shorts. Siegfried residents are involved in activities ranging from the Band of the Fighting Irish, Notre Dame Marching Band to leadership roles in various clubs. Siegfried hosts two dances each year. The Winter Formal is held at the Warren Clubhouse. It is the only dance held at the Warren Golf Club, and is usually held the first weekend in December. Siegfried's annual retreat usually takes place in March, in a variety of places including in a state park, and across the lakes. Siegfried has a strong tradition of interhall athletic competition. The coat of arms features three gray chevrons gray on a maroon field, the colors of Siegfried.

Sorin Hall


Stanford Hall


History

Stanford and Keenan Hall (University of Notre Dame), Keenan, joined together in Siamese twin fashion, were built in 1957. They were designed by Ellerbe Becket and built to house 150 rooms for 300 students. Keenan and Stanford are hosted in two wings of the same building, built on the spot that once hosted the toboggan of the University's minims program. Constructon of the two halls was part of a 4 million dollar plan which also included North Dining Hall. The building is representative of functionalist architecture with a simple double-L shape plan, a flat roof, and little exterior ornamentation. Of the two, Stanford is officially a bit older as it was dedicated in October of that year (Keenan was dedicated in November). Stanford was a gift of Effa Dunn Stanford in memory of her husband Grattan T. Stanford, and was to be named the 'Effa and Grattan Stanford Hall'. Grattan Stanford, class of 1904, was graduate who would later serve as a lay trustee of the university. He was an Indiana native who spent his youth in Lawrence, Kansas before attending Notre Dame. Three years after his graduation he obtained a law degree from Harvard, and practice law independently before becoming general counsel of the Sinclair Oil Corporation in 1916 until his death in 1949. Ella Stanford was part of Notre Dame's Women's Advisory Council. When the hall first opened, it was the first to have study halls and television lounges. Until the mid-60s, it was a hall for incoming freshmen.


Description

Stanford is a four-story building, built in minimalist and undadorned shapes, constructed in buff brick and limestone finishes. Stanford and Keenan share the Chapel of the Holy Cross, located off the lobby, which has a series of exquisite stained-glass windows featuring various types of crosses. Its highlight is Mestrovic's 13-foot mahogany crucifix, which the artist-in-residence executed especially for the chapel in 1957. Originally, the crucifix hung above a companion altar made of travertine marble imported from Italy. The altar was removed in the wake of Second Vatican Council, Vatican II changes, but the Mestrovic crucifix remained. Another of Mestrovic's works, a wood carving titled Christ as Young Boy Teaching, is present in the lobby.


Traditions

Stanford Hall's mascot is the Griffin. Its original mascot was a stud bull, hence the moniker "Stanford Studs". According to ''Notre Dame Magazine'', "the switch was made in February 1999 to honor Father Robert F. Griffin, CSC, University chaplain for 30 years and a campus icon until his death in October 1999." Stanford's traditional rival dorm is its twin Keenan Hall. Every year their interhall football matchup is deemed "The Battle for the Chapel" with the winner gaining naming rights to the chapel. Recently, Stanford has retained the chapel naming rights in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Despite the fact that the two dorms share two front doors side by side and the chapel has two entrances, it is tradition for the men of each dorm to only use the doors of their dorm.

Notre Dame residence halls feature a mixed residential college and house system, where residence halls are the center of the student life and some academic teaching; most students stay at the same hall for most of their undergraduate studies. Each hall has its own traditions, events, mascot, sports teams, shield, motto, and dorm pride. The university also hosts Old College, University of Notre Dame, Old College, an undergraduate residence for students preparing for the priesthood. Notre Dame has an undergraduate hall system which blends the residential college system and the house system. All first-year students are placed in one of the 32 halls upon enrollment, and students rarely switch halls. Each hall has its own spirit, tradition, mascot, sport teams, events, dances and reputation. Approximately 80% of undergraduate students live on campus, and often a student lives in the same dorm for the entirety of their undergraduate career. Even students who move off campus tend to maintain strong bonds with their affiliated residence hall. A huge segment of student life happens through residence halls and students develop a particular attachment to their undergraduate hall. Each residence hall is directed by one Rector with the assistance of two Assistant Rectors and a variable number of Resident Assistants (from 4 to 9). Every residence hall has a chapel where Mass is held multiple time per week, fields a variety of intramural sports teams, elects one senator to represent the dorm in Student Government, and elects a president and vice president(s) which work through the Hall Presidents Council (HPC) student organization. Interhall football between Notre Dame male dorms is the only interhall tackle football which has remained at any US university. Notre Dame residence halls are the center of the campus student life, and each one hosts signature events, like the Keenan Revue, the Zahm Hall Bun run, Fisher Regatta, the Siegfried Day of Man, The Dillon Hall Pep Rally and many others. Each dorm has its own architectural features, some of which were designed by famous architects such as Willoughby J. Edbrooke, Maginnis & Walsh and Ellerbe Becket, Thomas Ellerbe, and each hall has a chapel dedicated to the Hall's patron saint. With the exception of Carroll Hall, the residence halls are split among six main segments of the campus: Main (God) Quad, South Quad, North Quad, Mod Quad, West Quad, and East Quad. While Carroll is officially part of South Quad, it has its own lawn by Saint Mary's Lake informally called ''Far Quad'' due to its distance from the rest of the halls.

History


Origins (1843-1888)

When the first students arrived on campus in the fall of 1843, they all resided in a two-story brick building built by Sorin that spring, a building known today as Old College, University of Notre Dame, Old College. In the fall 1844 the first Main Building (University of Notre Dame), main building (then called college building because it housed virtually the entire college) was constructed with the help of the architect Marsile of Vincennes. The structure was a four-story brick building eighty feet long by thirty-six feet wide, 4 1/2-story high with a small cupola (but not yet a dome) with a bell in it, in French style. The third floor housed both the student dormitories and the residences for priests and brothers; with additional dormitory space on the fourth floor. Two lateral wings (which gave the building the shape of an H) were opened in 1853. In 1865 this structure was replaced by the second iteration of the main building, which hosted student dormitories on its fourth and fifth floor. This building burned down in the great fire of 1879, but its successor, the current main building, was swiftly reconstructed and once again hosted most of the university's facilities, including student dormitories. By the mid-1880s, two lateral wings were added to each building to add dormitory space bringing the length of the building from 224 feet to 320. Like all incarnations before, these were open
dormitory A dormitory (originated from the Latin word ''dormitorium'', often abbreviated to dorm) is a building primarily providing sleeping and residential quarters for large numbers of people such as boarding school, high school, college or university s ...
areas, with no private rooms. In the fall of 1890, the names of Carroll and Brownson Hall were given to dormitories in the west half and the east half of the main building respectively, and portraits of Orestes Brownson and Charles Carroll of Carrollton, Charles Carroll had been ordered to be placed in the respective halls. The 1892 Golden Jubilee history of the university stated that Carroll Hall was named after John Carroll (archbishop of Baltimore), John Carroll, who was the first Bishop (Catholic Church), bishop in the United States.


Early years and growth (1888-1965)

Sorin Hall, erected in 1888, was the first dormitory built specifically to host students at the University. During the early mid-1880s, the Holy Cross priests experimented with private rooms for upperclassmen with high academic grades and the results were positive. Since the Main Building was overcrowded with students, Father Edward Sorin decided to build a freestanding dormitory to expand residential space for students and alleviate the housing shortage. It was the first of its kind among all Catholic universities and one of the first among colleges across the country. As of 1891, juniors and seniors of the collegiate course were housed in Sorin Hall. Students between the ages of 13 and 17 were housed in Carroll Hall (west side of the main building), while those ages 17 and up were in Brownson Hall (east side). Students of different halls had little interaction outside of occasional shared classes. Pupils below 13, called the minims, had St. Edward's Hall to themselves and had their own facilities. Minims had little to no interaction with the other students. Freshman Hall and Sophomore Halls were built in 1922 and 1923 to accommodate a large influx of students. Total college student enrollment had increased to 1,425 by 1921. Sources reported that between 600 and 1110 students lived off campus in 1922, which meant that the university was also losing revenue opportunity by not offering housing and board to such students. Additionally, administration was worried that off campus student would not be able to benefit from bonding with teachers and other students. These two buildings were meant to be temporary and were cheaply made. Freshman Hall was built for $39,600 and placed north of the Notre Dame Fieldhouse, roughly where Breen-Phillips is today, and run north to south. It was built to host 176 students in the summer of 1922, and it was constituted by a two-story white-frame building, 250 feet long and 45 feet wide. The interior walls were fiberboard while a single-story porch with four wood pillars was placed at the front of the dorm, giving an overall impression of a military barrack. Sophomore Hall was built for $69.000 in thirty-eight days in the summer of 1923. It was located east of St. Edward's Hall, running east to west. It faced the Gymnasium and was perpendicular to Freshman Hall. It was built to host 186 students in the summer of 1922, and it was a similar building to Freshman Hall, 300 feet long and 37 feet wide, and had a two-story porch. The two buildings were known as the ''Cardboard'' or ''Pasteboard Palaces'' because of their cheap construction. Occasionally, football players would run through the walls. Long term permanent housing was also built to increase supply of on-campus housing to keep up with the quickly growing student population. Lyons, Howard and Morrissey Halls were built between 1924 and 1927 to alleviate the on-campus housing shortage due to the rapid increase in student population after World War I. In 1929, president Charles L. O'Donnell, Charles L. O’Donnell decided convert St. Edward's Hall, which until then had hosted the boarding school program for younger children, into an undergraduate residence hall (since the college population was growing and space badly needed), under the direction of professor and architect Vincent Fagan in June that year. The open dormitory was converted into double rooms, while the chapel was left untouched, and the new hall opened in September to house 207 undergraduates. Construction of Dillon and Alumni was part of an extensive building program aimed at improving educational and living facilities, and increasing supply of on-campus residential facilities. In the 1940s, North Quad (Breen-Phillips, Cavanaugh, Zahm Hall, and Farley) housed freshman students and was also known as the Freshman Quad. The other dorms on the Main and South Quads, closer to classrooms and the dining halls, were reserved for upperclassmen.


Residential Hall model

Up until the 1960s, the residence halls were based on academic class, with three or four halls for freshmen, three for sophomores, and others for juniors and seniors. This system was meant to develop strong class spirit, but many students started advocating for stay-halls, where students could remain in the same hall for their entire undergraduate career. Those in favor argued that this could lead to stronger hall spirit and more efficient hall government, with only a quarter of students turning over every year. The administration was initially against this for its perceived effect on the freshmen. They believed that new students needed special attention and regulation, such as earlier curfew and more rules, and in addition they did not want to disrupt freshmen accommodation at the same time as they were developing the new First Year of Studies program. Eventually administration experiment with the new system. In the fall of 1965 Dillon, Farley, and Alumni were the first dorms to try the "stay-hall" system. The experiment proved to be successful, but most other residence halls initially rejected it because they did not want to have freshmen living in their halls. In 1967, Zahm and Breen-Phillips also adopted the new system, and eventually all dorms were converted to the current residential college model, where all students are placed in one dorm freshman year and students rarely switch halls.


Modern expansion and renovation (1960s-)

Two large hall, Flanner and Grace, were constructed in 1969 at a combined cost of 6.9 million dollars. These two halls, with their 11-stories and capacity for 530 students each, were much larger than previous halls. They also were among the first dorms to offer such amenities as kitchens on every floor, air conditioning, large weight rooms, and in-dorm food sales. Originally, 5 such towers were planned, together with a modernist chapel in Mod Quad, but only Flanner and Grace were ever built. Due to their huge size in student population, Flanner and Grace became known for their rowdiness and massive multi-story parties. When women were first admitted into the university in 1972, Walsh and Badin were the first to be converted to female halls. Breen-Phillips and Farley were converted into female dorms in 1973. increasing the female population from 360 to 775. Lyons followed suit in 1974. Renovations for the transition to a woman's dorm included increased storage facilities and more washing and drying equipment. One major expansion of the halls occurred in the late 1980s, with the opening of Mod Quad residence halls of Pasquerilla East, Pasquerilla West, Knott, and Siegfried Halls. These four halls were the first one built exclusively for women and were constructed because of the large increase in the female student population. Further expansion came in the 1996-1997 with the construction of four residence halls in the new West Quad (Welsh Family Hall, McGlinn, Keough Hall, and O'Neill Family). Each carried a similar plan and build and consisted mostly of doubles with some single and triple rooms and hosted between 262 and 282 students. This new construction coincided with the closure of Flanner and Grace as dorms, and their transition into office space. In order to maintain gender balance, female residents of Siegfried and Knott moved to the new Welsh Family and McGlinn and residents from Flanner moved to Siegfried and Knott in 1997. Residents from Grace moved to newly built Keough and O'Neill Family. Construction of new halls progressed steadily into the 21st century, with Duncan (2008), Ryan (2009), and Baumer (2019) built on West Quad, and Dunne and Flaherty, (2016) and Johnson Family (2020) built on the newly developed East Quad. Starting in 2017, the university moved towards a stricter residential model, with students required to stay on campus for their first three years. Notre Dame embarked in a thorough renovation of dormitories with the 2015 Residential Master Plan. Starting with Walsh Hall in the 2016-17 academic year, residential halls are undergoing yearlong renovations that include structural revamping, interior refurbishing, and expansion of amenities. Badin was renovated in 2017-18, Morrissey in 2018-19, Dillon Hall in 2019-20, Sorin Hall in 2021-2022, and Alumni Hall in 2022-23. In 2016, when the first renovation started, the Pangborn community moved into Flaherty Hall and Pangborn was converted into a "swing hall", that would host the residents of the hall undergoing a renovation. In 2021, it was announced that Zahm Hall would take the role of "swing hall" going forward, and Pangborn was re-established as a male hall. Communities that undergo renovation preserve their original hall name and character while living in the swing hall, for example exemplified by name "Alumni Community in Zahm Hall" in 2022-2023.


Organization

Each residence hall is directed by one Rector (academia), rector with the assistance of two assistant rectors (graduate or professional students) and a variable number of Resident assistant, resident assistants (from 4 to 9). Rectors act not only ad administrators, but also as counselors and mentors. Residence halls can also house priests in residence and faculty-in-residence.


Government

Each Hall elects its own hall government that runs its social life and plans events. It is made up of commissioners, representatives, and the elected Hall President and Vice President. Elections are coordinated by the Hall election coordinator. Halls prepare a variety of regular and monthly academic, social, volunteer oriented, spiritual, cultural, and athletic events. In particular, most halls have a service commissioner, since social service s a cornerstone of the Notre Dame student life. The weekly reunion of the hall government is termed Hall Council, and is led by the Hall President and Vice-President and the Hall Senator and all dorm commissioners are required to attend, and all members of the dorm are also free to attend. The Hall Presidents Council (HPC) reunites all hall presidents and serves as dedicated to improving student life, disseminating information, discussing common matters of residential life, and coordinating activities and facilitating programming among halls. It also runs the Hall of the Year competition. The Student Senate, which functions as the legislative body of the Student Union, is composed by one elected member from each residence hall.


Design and architectural styling

The earliest dorms, such as Sorin, St Edwards, Walsh, and Badin and were built under heavy French influence styles of Second Empire style and Châteauesque architecture. This style was the same as that used for the Main Building (University of Notre Dame), Main Building, Washington Hall (University of Notre Dame), Washington Hall, LaFortune Student Center, LaFortune and many of the earliest campus structures. While the architect for Sorin Hall was Willoughby J. Edbrooke, most of the other halls and structures were designed in house by members of the university themselves, such as Father Edward Sorin, Brother Charles Harding, Bro. Columkille Fitzgerald. Starting in the 1920s, the new architectural style prevalent on campus became Gothic Revival architecture, Neo Gothic. The complex formed Howard, Morrissey, and Lyons Halls, was designed in gothic architecture by Vincent Fagan and Francis Kervick, who were also professors of architecture at the University. These three buildings was constructed out in the usual yellow brick and a minimum of stone, in order to make them mesh better with the previous buildings and their surroundings. In line with the Gothic style, they feature pointed arches, spires, slate roofs, gables, and projecting bay of stone. Yet, they retain some elements of the French vernacular and Gothic Revival architecture, Victorian Gothic of the previous buildings on Main Quad. They also were influenced by Tudor Gothic style. A second wave of buildings was built int the 1930s by the Boston based firm of Maginnis & Walsh. Alumni and Dillon Hall were built in 1931. Compared with the buildings by Fagan and Kervick, the gothic style was closer to the Collegiate Gothic, with stone carvings and high gable roofs, and lacked those French vernacular elements that tied Howard, Morrissey, and Lyons to the Main Quad architecture. Maginnis and Walsh also built Zahm and Cavanaugh in the 1936–37, in a similar style but lacking the ornate exteriors and statuary of Alumni and Dillon. Breen-Phillips and Farley followed in similar style in 1939 and 1947. The advent of modern architecture also impacted residence hall style. Keenan and Stanford, built in 1957, are representative of functionalist architecture with a simple double-L shape plan, a flat roof, and little exterior ornamentation and was designed by Ellerbe Becket. Although built in 1950s simple and un-ornamented style, it still was built in brick with stone trims that hints of gothic style. Ellerbe Becket, which has a long collaboration with Notre Dame (that included Notre Dame stadium), also designed the Mod Quad halls built in the 1980s in modernist architecture. When the first Mod Quad dorms were built in this new modernist style, with flat roofs and little decoration, they were criticized for not integrating well with the previous styles.


Programs and traditions

Notre Dame residence halls are the center of the campus student life, and each one hosts signature events, like the Keenan Revue, the Zahm Hall Bun run, Fisher Regatta, the Siegfried Day of Man, The Dillon Hall Pep Rally and many others.


Intramurals

Every residence hall fields a variety of intramural sports teams. Interhall football between Notre Dame male dorms is the only interhall tackle football which has remained at any US university.

Cavanaugh Hall

Cavanaugh Hall is located directly south of Zahm Hall and is directly north of LaFortune Student Center. Cavanaugh houses around 200 undergraduate students. Its central location gives the dorm a good view of the Main Administration Building (University of Notre Dame), golden dome. The coat of arms is taken from the family arms of the Caomhánach, Cavanaugh Family, with the colors adapted to match the green and purple of the hall.


History

In the 1930s, enrollment at Notre Dame was increasing by about one hundred a year, but on campus space was limited. This both forced students to live far from campus and was a loss of potential room and board income for the university. President John Francis O'Hara decided to build three new residence halls to remedy this problem: Cavanaugh in 1936, Zahm Hall, Zahm in 1937, and Breen-Phillips in 1939. In order to accommodate these buildings it was necessary to demolish Freshman and Sophomore Halls (which were low quality temporary structures) and the east wing of St. Edward's Hall (University of Notre Dame), St. Edward's Hall. It was built in Collegiate Gothic and Tudor Revival architecture, Tudor revival style. It was named after Notre Dame's fifth president, Rev. John W. Cavanaugh, who has died only a year earlier. It was originally constructed to be the most northern and eastern building for the campus, however, this changed a year later when Zahm Hall was built. Architects were Maginnis and Walsh of Boston in a collegiate Gothic style, although less ornate and decorated than Alumni and Dillon Halls. During World War II, Cavanaugh, along with four other dorms, housed naval officers-in-training. Father Matthew Miceli served as Rector of Cavanaugh Hall from 1963 to 1990, holding the record at the time as longest-serving Rector of the same residence hall. He was beloved by the residents and affectionately referred to as “The Mooch”. In 1994, with female enrollment to the university increasing, the dorm was converted to a female dorm. The chapel is dedicated to the Holy Spirit. The current rector is Marlyn Batista.


Traditions

In the 1980s, its residents were called the Cavemen, supposedly in recognition of its large, cavernous basement, but more likely because Cavemen has the same first three letters as the Hall's name. An attempt was made to change the name to the Crusaders in 1988. The name was changed to the Cavaliers in 1994 and then to the Chaos. A tradition corn hole tournament is played every year, and many related activities take place in the preceding week. Mother-Daughter and Father-Daughter weekend are held alternatively in spring. Cavanaugh Hall has a rich community, and has been named "Back to Back Spirit Champs" for the past three years.

Dillon Hall


Duncan Hall

Duncan Hall is the second newest male dorm on campus. It is located on West Quad, between McGlinn Hall and the Golf Course.


History

Duncan was built as the first of four new dorms built by the university to alleviate overcrowding in the existing residence halls. It was the first built since the completion of the original four West Quad dorms (Welsh Family, Keough Hall, Keough, O'Neill, and McGlinn) in 1996/1997. It fills the space of former volleyball courts west of McGlinn Hall (University of Notre Dame), McGlinn Hall, filling the quad out to its western limit at Holy Cross Drive. Duncan Hall is named for its benefactor Raymond T. Duncan, Notre Dame class of 1952, a personal friend of Joe O'Neill, benefactor of O'Neill Family Hall (also on West Quad). The Duncan family has strong family ties to the University, including Duncan's father Walter (class of 1912), two of his brothers and two of his sons. The dorm broke ground in March 2007 and was completed in 17 months, on schedule, to be opened for its first residents during ordinary move-in in August 2008. Mackey Mitchell Architects was the designer of this project. The dorm incorporates features such as super-quads, which include private bathrooms, and super-doubles with bay windows, as well as a study lounge and social space in every section, 24-hour space with a large kitchen that hosts a food-service business called the Highlander Grille, and a basement with an exercise room. The rooms are larger than typical on-campus dorm rooms, and the dorm is generally viewed as relatively luxurious. The inaugural freshman class was filled, as with any other dorm, by the random process of the Office of Residence Life and Housing. Residents from other three classes, however, were selected through a random lottery process six months prior to move-in, choosing 150 students from a voluntary applicant pool. On Friday, October 3, 2008, Duncan Hall was formally dedicated, an event marked by a Mass in the chapel presided over by Fr. John I. Jenkins, John Jenkins, University president, and attended by the Duncan family and distinguished guests as well as the dorm's residents and hall staff.

Dunne Hall


Farley Hall

Farley Hall is a female dorm. It is located on North Quad between Breen-Phillips Hall and North Dining Hall. It was named after Rev. John "Pop" Falrey, C.S.C.


History

After World War II, Notre Dame saw a large increase in its student population, partially due to the influx of veterans under the new G.I. Bill. A record 4,400 students attended in 1946. To accommodate the increased population, president Hugh O'Donnell (priest), Hugh O'Donnell announced in 1946 the construction of a new hall north of Breen-Phillips, originally only known as "Project F", but later revealed to be named after John "Pop" Farley. John "Pop" O' Farley was one of the most well-known and beloved Notre Dame figures at the time. A native of Paterson, New Jersey, Paterson, in 1897 he came to Notre Dame to study for the priesthood. A gifted athlete, he earned nine varsity monograms: four in football, four in baseball, and one in track. As a senior, he was the captain of the 1900 Notre Dame football team, with a 6-3-1 record under head coach Pat O'Dea. He graduated in 1901, entered Holy Cross Seminary, and ordained a Holy Cross priest in 1907. He spent the remaining 32 years of his life at Notre Dame, with the exception of some years at the University of Portland. He served as the rector for Corby, Walsh, and Sorin Halls, where he gained a reputation as a strict disciplinarian and thanks to his track speed, he could chase rule breakers across the campus. He was known to patrol the streets of South Bend, Indiana, South Bend, by driving the university's horse-powered “Skive Wagon.” Despite his gruff attitude and the fact he never taught classes or preached on campus, he was known as a great counselor for students and was much beloved and a campus favorite, and he earned the paternal nickname "Pop". As a rector, he was involved in his dorm's interhall sports competitions, and did not miss attending sports events even after his leg was amputated after he suffered a stroke in 1937. He died on January 15, 1939 and was buried in Holy Cross Cemetery. In his honor, the Rev. John Francis "Pop" Farley, C.S.C. Award has been awarded since 1977 to university employees who distinguished themselves in service to students. Construction, which cost $730,000 began in the summer of 1946 and was concluded in time for the semester beginning September 1947. In February 1947, Rev. Joseph D. Barry, C.S.C. was announced as the first rector of the yet to be completed Farley Hall. Barry was known as the “front-line chaplain” who won the Silver Star and had Allied invasion of Sicily, landed in Sicily in July 1943 and was involved in Operation Avalanche, battles at Salerno, Battle of Anzio, Anzio, Southern France, and Germany with the 45th Army Division. Farley Hall offered a variety of rooms including singles, doubles, triples, and quads. The hall rectors for the 1948–49 academic year were reported in the September–October issue of the ''Notre Dame Alumnus'' magazine. Rev. Theodore Hesburgh was appointed as the new rector of Farley Hall for the 1948–1949 year, before being appointed later in 1948 as the executive vice president of the university. Rev. Charles Sheedy, C.S.C. succeeded Father Hesburgh as rector for the 1949–50 academic year. In 1965, together with Alumni and Dillon Hall, Dillon, it was the first dorm to try the "stay-hall" system, in which residents could stay all four years in the same hall rather than being divided by class as they were up until the 1960s. Farley became one of the 5 original women's dorms in 1973 when the university opened its doors to women. Sr. Jean Lenz was the first female rector and wrote of her experiences in her book, Loyal Sons and Daughters. She served as rector of Farley from 1972 to 1983, returned to live in Farley after retiring in 2008 and remained until her passing in 2012. In the 1970s, under the direction of Sr. Lenz, the basement of the hall hosted "Motel Farley", a large open space with bunk beds that could host 36 girls, who were usually girls visiting from other schools or girlfriends of Notre Dame guys.


Traditions

The dorm's signature even is Pop Farley Week, a series of events that takes place in January and includes skits, hall decoration, and a dancers.

Fisher Hall

Fisher Hall is a male dorm located on South Quad, between South Dining Hall and Pangborn Hall (University of Notre Dame).


History

After World War II, Notre Dame saw a large increase in its student population, partially due to the influx of veterans under the new G.I. Bill. A record 4,400 students attended in 1946. To accommodate the increased population, president John J. Cavanaugh, John J Cavanaugh initiated the construction of Farley Hall. The hall, which cost $762,00, was made possible due a 1 million dollar donation by Sally Fisher in honor of her late husband, Fred J. Fisher, the first president of the Fisher Body, Fisher Body Company in
Detroit Detroit ( , ; , ) is the largest city in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is also the largest U.S. city on the United States–Canada border, and the seat of government of Wayne County. The City of Detroit had a population of 639,111 at th ...
, and former member of the board of trustees. The remaining money was allotted for financial aid for students. Originally it was meant to be built north of Farley Hall (where the North Dining Hall stands today), but it was later changed to the present location. It was constructed in 1952 by Peter Schumacher and Sons Construction Co. of Mishawaka in the shape of a T. The original plans had to be adapted due to rising costs, and while the east wing was built with four floors, the west wing (containing the chapel) was only built to one floor, and the north–south wing only to two (although more were added later). When it opened, it contained 120 single rooms and 18 doubles and a social lounge, study room, and recreation room, and it was reserved for upperclassmen. It was flat roofed and not built in the traditional collegiate Gothic style of South Quad. Summer 2001 renovations included a new social space and a new chapel. Over the years, renovations to Fisher Hall have created a mix of single, double, and quad rooms. Fisher Hall contains more single rooms than most other dorms at Notre Dame, and consequently receives several students who "float" for singles from across campus. Fisher's sister dorms are Howard and Badin.


Traditions

Fisher Hall's signature event is the Fisher Regatta, hosted annually at the end of the spring semester. It consists of a race of boats made by students together with refreshments, games, and prizes. No conventional watercraft are allowed to compete, and no gasoline engines or motors are allowed, although paddles and oars less than 5 feet are permitted. The vessels can at times be outlandish, such as St. Edwar's Hall in 1991 who competed with a floating replica house, complete with a doghouse. Starting with the fourth annual edition in 1990, residence halls could submit as many vessels as desired, with crews from 4 to 10 people. The 1997 edition saw 26 amateur vessels, and was sponsored by the Alumni Association, Papa John's Pizza, Coca Cola, and Subway Sandwhiches. The regatta was founded by freshman Jay Farraher (class of 1990) in 1987. Various dorms compete by submitting homemade boat entries in races on Saint Mary's Lake, located on campus. In the fall of 2002, a second signature event, the Fisher Hall Roofsit, was created to benefit a selected charity by having hall members sit on the roof of Fisher for 50 consecutive hours to commemorate the then 50th anniversary of the hall's construction. This event has been expanded over recent years to include a campus-wide dodgeball tournament, musical performances, and other social events. As of 2015, due to pressure from the university, the roofsit was discontinued. A big "F" letter hangs on the side of the hall. The original insignia was placed in the 80s but was stolen by the residents of Pangborn Hall in 1991. It was replaced with a bigger plastic letter.

Keough Hall


History

Marilyn M. Keough Hall was dedicated on September 27, 1996. It is located on West Quad across from South Dining Hall with neighbors McGlinn Hall, O'Neill Family Hall, and Welsh Family Hall. Keough Hall is named after Marilyn Keough, wife of Donald Keough, who served as chairman of Notre Dame's Board of Trustees from 1986 to 1992. It was built as one of several replacement dorms for Flanner Hall and Grace Hall, both of which were turned into administrative buildings. The construction of halls on West Quad served to relocate students from Flanner and Grace. These two dorms, which each contained more than 500 students and spanned 11 floors, were converted into faculty, administration, and office space. The majority of Grace residents went to either O'Neill or Keough. The four new dorms built on West Quad were all of similar plan and build, each consisting mostly of double with some single and triple rooms, and hosting between 262 and 282 students. Fr. Tom Doyle, C.S.C. served as Keough Hall's first Apostolic rector, Rector. Upon completing his

training, he helped to dedicate Marilyn M. Keough Hall in August 1996. Fr. Tom was ordained a priest in the Congregation of Holy Cross in the Spring of 1998 amidst his family, friends and 250 spirited young Men of Keough Hall. Doyle now serves as the Executive Vice President of University Relations at the University of Portland. Fr. Pete Jarret, C.S.C. arrived as rector in 2001 and led the community until 2006. Mark DeMott served as interim rector for the 2006–2007 school year. Keough Hall's current Rector is Gabriel J. Griggs, CSC.


Traditions

Despite its young history, Keough Hall residents have established themselves as an up-and-coming dorm community with great enthusiasm and brotherhood, winning Men's Hall of the Year in 2009. They most recently won Men's Hall of the Year in the 2021-22 academic year. Every fall the dorm hosts the Keough Hall Chariot Race, in which the different sections within Keough, as well as other dorms, build chariots to race against one another. The day-long event is followed that night by a dance. In the spring, Keough once held a dance formal called the White Wedding in which the members of the dorm create a comical mock wedding ceremony for other members of the dorm and their dates. Late in the year the dorm hosts the Aussie Fest, which usually wraps up the year with a cookout, games and music. The hall also hosts the Toga Dance, a “Rootreat,” and also organize summer service at St. Brendan’s Parish in Tanzania.

Knott Hall

Knott Hall, a male dorm, is located on Mod Quad close to Siegfried Hall and the Theodore Hesburgh Library.


History

It was built in 1988 as a women's hall and named after Marion Burk Knott since the money was donated by her husband and Baltimore philanthropist and businessman Henry Joseph Knott. They met in the early 1900s and got married in 1928 while he was taking classes at Loyola College and she was a live-in nanny for a family in Baltimore. Henry built a development empire in Baltimore and felt a duty to reinvest in the community that had given him the opportunity to thrive. He and Marion frequently answered calls for help from the city, from small personal loans to large donations to education and religious institutions. The Knott Foundation was created in 1977 to coordinate their philanthropic ventures, which serves Catholic and other charitable institutions in Baltimore and around the nations. The couple had 13 children, one of whom died at an early age of cancer. When originally built, the hall was a female dorm and home of the Knott Angels. When Grace and Flanner male dorms became administrative offices, residents from Grace moved to Keough Hall and O'Neill Family Hall. In order to maintain gender balance, female residents of Siegfried and Knott moved to Welsh Family Hall and McGlinn Hall and residents from Flanner moved to Siegfried and Knott in 1997. The most notable rector of Knott Hall is Br Jerome Meyer, C.S.C. Affectionately known by Juggerknotts as "Brojo", he was Knott's first rector as a men's dorm, and resided in Knott from 1997 to 2014. He earned his BA from Saint Edward's University and his M.Ed in Mathematics from Saint Mary's University of Minnesota, Saint Mary's College in Winona, Minnesota.


Description

The hall was built by Ellerbe Becket in modernist style. The chapel hosts a statue of Elizabeth Ann Seton donated to the hall by her grandson, Robert Seton.


Traditions

Knott men are nicknamed Juggerknotts. Their main rival is Siegfried Hall. Knott on the Knoll, the dorm's signature event, is a weekend of music hosted for the entire campus community. Other ventures include the Aiden Project charity for kids with cancer and the Splash Bash event (which includes food, inflatables, and water slides).

McGlinn Hall

McGlinn is located on West Quad, behind South Dining Hall and in between O'Neill Family Hall and Duncan Hall. Built in 1997, McGlinn is one of the newer dorms on campus and has modern day amenities, such as air conditioning and an elevator. With a capacity of 270 residents, McGlinn is the largest female dorm on campus. The coat of arms is taken from the McGlinn family, with the double headed eagle, while the shamrock is the symbol of the hall.


History

Constructed in 1997 through the contributions of Terrence and Barbara McGlinn, McGlinn Hall is one of the newest dorms at the University of Notre Dame. The Angels of Knott Hall (now a male residence) moved into McGlinn in the Fall of 1997 and quickly established the dorm as one full of spirit and pride. It joins Keough, O'Neill, and Welsh Family Halls on the West Quad – sometimes called the "Suburbs" because of the modern amenities of air conditioning, elevators, and the largest rooms on campus. McGlinn enjoys a convenient location, only a brief walk to the bookstore, athletic fields, South Dining Hall and Reckers. Sr. Mary A. Lynch, S.S.J., M.A. is a sister of St. Joseph from Philadelphia, PA. Sr. Mary has been rector of McGlinn since August 2005 and works in campus ministry as well. McGlinn residents fondly refer to Sister Mary as "Smary" and often stop by her apartment on the first floor to say hello and grab a few (or more than a few) pieces of candy. Fr. Tom Blantz, CSC lived in McGlinn from the time its construction was completed in 1997 before moving out in 2015. He has worked as a history professor at Notre Dame and retired in 2012 to part-time teaching. Fr. Tom presided over mass in McGlinn Hall Chapel frequently. He always kept Snickers bars in a bowl outside of his apartment. Fr. David Tyson, CSC has lived in McGlinn since August 2015. He previously worked at the university in the 1970s and 1980s before being elected president of the University of Portland. Fr. David is now the president of Holy Cross College (Indiana), Holy Cross College.


Traditions

Casino Night is McGlinn Hall's signature event held every winter. It is a night of fun "casino-style" games, with most attendees playing roulette and blackjack with play money. All of the proceeds from the event are donated by the Shamrocks to St. Adalberts, a local grade school in South Bend. McGlinn also runs a Bubble Soccer tournament, a signature event that started in the fall of 2015, and is held in the fall and spring every year. Players create a team and play soccer while in giant, inflatable bubbles, with the proceeds also going to St. Adalberts. McGlinn is one of the few dorms with living donors. Because of this attribute, every resident in McGlinn receives a Christmas gift from the McGlinn family in early December. In 2012, every girl received a two-pound box of assorted chocolates to ensure a maximum energy level throughout study sessions and final exams. McGlinn won Hall of the Year in 2018–2019, but the dome dance was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. McGlinn has also won the Kelly Cup, an award given to the female dorm with the most participation in interhall sports, seven times, in 2009, and from 2011 to 2016.

History

It was the 15th building built on campus, and one of four that was dedicated in 1955. Pangborn and other dorms built in the 1950s were meant to be temporary housing to accommodate a spike in enrollment caused by the G.I. Bill. Pangborn represented a

step away from collegiate gothic. The building was designed by architects Holabird, Root and Burgee of Chicago. The hall was originally built as a residence for male students, when its nickname was the Violence, but was converted to a women's dorm in 1992 and became the Pangborn Phoxes. Pangborn again became a women's dorm for the 2020–21 school year and became the Pangborn Phoenixes. Pangborn's Chapel of the Annunciation of Our Lady, renovated in 1995, features carved-wood Stations of the Cross imported from northern Italy. The stained-glass windows honor eight saints canonized the year prior to the hall's dedication. In January 2016 it was announced that the residents of Pangborn hall would move to the newly built Flaherty Hall. Pangborn hall will serve as a "swing hall" to host students from halls undergoing renovations: members of Walsh Hall (University of Notre Dame), Walsh Hall for the 2016–17 academic year, members of Badin Hall for the 2017–2018 year, and members of Morrissey Hall (University of Notre Dame), Morrissey Hall for the 2018–2019 year. In the 2019–2020 Pangborn housed the members of a new community to move into Johnson Family Hall. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pangborn was used as housing for female students who had study abroad plans canceled as well as transfer students for the 2020-21 academic year. This brought change to the identity of Pangborn with the Phoenix selected as the new mascot and the Pang-Pong ping pong tournament as their signature event. There were plans for Pangborn to house the members of Sorin Hall during their renovation. However, with the closure of Zahm Hall beginning in the 2021-22 school year, Zahm will now be used as a transition dorm in place of Pangborn, and Pangborn will once again become a full time dorm for men under rector Fr. Bill Dailey, CSC. Upon being reestablished as a mens dorm again, the new members of Pangborn Hall chose "The Royals" as their mascot to fit the long time nickname of the hall, "The Pangborn Palace". The new mens hall members have also introduced traditions such as bedsheet banners for Notre Dame football games and cutting racing stripes into their hair as a sign of unity within the dorm.

Pasquerilla East Hall

Pasquerilla East Hall (referred colloquially as PE), is the home of the Pyros. The dorm's colors are red and black. Surrounding PE are the other three dorms on "Mod Quad," Knott Hall, Pasquerilla West Hall, and Siegfried Hall.


History

Pasquerilla East Hall was built in 1981 as a gift from Frank J. and Sylvia Pasquerilla. PE and its twin, Pasquerilla West, initially were built with the expectation that Pasquerilla's twin daughters would each occupy one of the halls during their senior years. At the time, the couple's donation of $7 million was the largest in the school's history by a living person. Initially, Frank Pasquerilla wanted the gift to be anonymous, but Fr. Theodore Hesburgh convinced him to disclose his name since it might attract other donors. The two halls were dedicated on November 13 and 14, 1981, with a series of events attended by Frank J. and Sylvia Pasquerilla and the inaugural residents of the halls. The events included a Dedication Musicale, Italian opera music program held in the library auditorium, a show of Italian art in the Snite Museum of Art, culminating in the "festa di Pasquerilla," an Italian cuisine luncheon in Stepan Center. Frank J Pasquerilla was an entrepreneur of Italian people, Italian descent from Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He was the president in 1953 and eventually sole owner in 1961 of Crown American construction company, and later invested in shopping malls and hotels. Frank Pasquerilla was a philanthropist for many cultural institutions in the Johnstown areas such as the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown and for many Catholic colleges, including Georgetown University and St. Francis College and was Knight Commander of the Order of St. Gregory the Great.

Since 2013, the dorm's flag football team (known as PEFFB) has been coached by Notre Dame Fighting Irish football, Notre Dame football players, including DaVaris Daniels and Malik Zaire.

Siegfried Hall

Siegfried is situated between Pasquerilla West Hall (University of Notre Dame), Pasquerilla West Hall and Theodore Hesburgh Library on Mod Quad.


History

Constructed in 1988 through the financial commitments of Robert M. ('37) and Raymond H. ('65) Siegfried from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Tulsa. the building was converted from a female hall to a male hall in 1997 after Flanner and Grace Halls became office space. The female residents of Siegfried Hall moved to Welsh Family Hall (University of Notre Dame), Welsh Family Hall on West Quad. After the move, the new residents adopted the nickname "Ramblers" which was one of the former names used by the University before "Fighting Irish" was adopted. Siegfried is rivals with Knott Hall, the other male Mod Quad residence hall. Siegfried and Knott are the only two residence halls to convert from female to male, in order to preserve Mod Quad's gender balance when male dorms Flanner and Grace became offices.


Traditions

Siegfried raises funds for the South Bend Homeless Shelter through its annual Day of Man fundraiser. On this cold February day, the Ramblers venture out in only T-shirts, flip-flops, and shorts. Siegfried residents are involved in activities ranging from the Band of the Fighting Irish, Notre Dame Marching Band to leadership roles in various clubs. Siegfried hosts two dances each year. The Winter Formal is held at the Warren Clubhouse. It is the only dance held at the Warren Golf Club, and is usually held the first weekend in December. Siegfried's annual retreat usually takes place in March, in a variety of places including in a state park, and across the lakes. Siegfried has a strong tradition of interhall athletic competition. The coat of arms features three gray chevrons gray on a maroon field, the colors of Siegfried.

Sorin Hall


Stanford Hall


History

Stanford and Keenan Hall (University of Notre Dame), Keenan, joined together in Siamese twin fashion, were built in 1957. They were designed by Ellerbe Becket and built to house 150 rooms for 300 students. Keenan and Stanford are hosted in two wings of the same building, built on the spot that once hosted the toboggan of the University's minims program. Constructon of the two halls was part of a 4 million dollar plan which also included North Dining Hall. The building is representative of functionalist architecture with a simple double-L shape plan, a flat roof, and little exterior ornamentation. Of the two, Stanford is officially a bit older as it was dedicated in October of that year (Keenan was dedicated in November). Stanford was a gift of Effa Dunn Stanford in memory of her husband Grattan T. Stanford, and was to be named the 'Effa and Grattan Stanford Hall'. Grattan Stanford, class of 1904, was graduate who would later serve as a lay trustee of the university. He was an Indiana native who spent his youth in Lawrence, Kansas before attending Notre Dame. Three years after his graduation he obtained a law degree from Harvard, and practice law independently before becoming general counsel of the Sinclair Oil Corporation in 1916 until his death in 1949. Ella Stanford was part of Notre Dame's Women's Advisory Council. When the hall first opened, it was the first to have study halls and television lounges. Until the mid-60s, it was a hall for incoming freshmen.


Description

Stanford is a four-story building, built in minimalist and undadorned shapes, constructed in buff brick and limestone finishes. Stanford and Keenan share the Chapel of the Holy Cross, located off the lobby, which has a series of exquisite stained-glass windows featuring various types of crosses. Its highlight is Mestrovic's 13-foot mahogany crucifix, which the artist-in-residence executed especially for the chapel in 1957. Originally, the crucifix hung above a companion altar made of travertine marble imported from Italy. The altar was removed in the wake of Second Vatican Council, Vatican II changes, but the Mestrovic crucifix remained. Another of Mestrovic's works, a wood carving titled Christ as Young Boy Teaching, is present in the lobby.


Traditions

Stanford Hall's mascot is the Griffin. Its original mascot was a stud bull, hence the moniker "Stanford Studs". According to ''Notre Dame Magazine'', "the switch was made in February 1999 to honor Father Robert F. Griffin, CSC, University chaplain for 30 years and a campus icon until his death in October 1999." Stanford's traditional rival dorm is its twin Keenan Hall. Every year their interhall football matchup is deemed "The Battle for the Chapel" with the winner gaining naming rights to the chapel. Recently, Stanford has retained the chapel naming rights in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Despite the fact that the two dorms share two front doors side by side and the chapel has two entrances, it is tradition for the men of each dorm to only use the doors of their dorm.
