User:Eccekevin/Residence Halls of The University of Notre Dame

There are currently 29 residence halls and one undergraduate seminary at the University of Notre Dame. Each residence hall is single sex, with 15 all-male residence halls and 14 all-female residence halls. With the exception of Carroll Hall and Old College, the residence halls are split among five main segments of the campus: Main (God) Quad, South Quad, North Quad, Mod Quad and West Quad. All first-year students are not only guaranteed on-campus housing, but are required to reside on-campus for at least one semester. Here is a listing of the 30 residences at Notre Dame:

=Alumni Hall=

Alumni Hall is located on South Quad adjacent to "Main Circle" as you enter the Notre Dame campus, across from the law school building. Together with other historic structures of the university, it is on the National Register of Historic Places.

History
Alumni Hall was constructed in 1931 at the same time as rival Dillon Hall. At the time, it provided a border for the southern edge of campus. The hall was so named in honor of the University's loyal alumni and was intended to be a home for alumni returning to campus. Alumni was originally configured to hold 212 students. Alumni was the first residence hall on campus and one of the first buildings in the state of Indiana to have an electric elevator. The hall's unique architecture includes gargoyles up top and stone carvings of everything from Madonna and Child (north side chapel entrance), saints (Sts. Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure in the courtyard), dogs (Clashmore Mike, one of the original mascots of the football team), to Knute Rockne (east side). On the south side of the building, facing South Bend, is a carving of a college graduate known as Joe College who is looking towards leaving college for the real world. The hall's chapel is dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo, the patron saint of then-president Fr. Charles O'Donnell, CSC.

Traditions
Alumni Hall has a tradition of putting up Greek letters and being a very close-knit group. These Greek letters are Delta-Omega-Gamma, which spells out the name of the alumni mascot, a dog, but is usually spelled out as "Dawg". They display their letters at least three times a year. First, during Freshman Orientation (Frosh-O). Second, during Alumni-Dillon Rivalry Week. Third, during Alumni's secretive Wake Week (shrouded in mystery) in the Spring.

History
Badin Hall was originally constructed in 1897 as St. Joseph's Industrial School. Once enrolled, young men trained to be blacksmiths, bricklayers, carpenters, farmers, and tailors. After an expansion project in 1917, it became a men's dormitory, and in 1972, Badin was the first of two residence halls to be converted for women's use, when they began to be admitted into the university.

Traditions
Badin Hall supports the Hope for Nepal charity, which is an Initiative that serves Nepal in several ways, including the operation of an orphanage for children who would otherwise be forced to live on the streets. Each spring, the women of Badin work to raise money for their charity by hosting the "Badin Breakdown," during which students can come sing Karaoke, watch funny skits, and eat free food, for the price of a donation to the Hope Initiative. Other events put on by the hall include "A Conscious Christmas" in the winter and the "Polar Bear Plunge" each February. During the 1960s, a fictional ghost named Harry Hunter was said to inhabit the first floor of the building.

History
Carroll Hall was constructed in 1906 by Brother Charles Borromeo Harding and christened Dujare after the Holy Cross founder. From then, it was used as a seminary for the Brothers of Holy Cross. For a brief time in 1938, Blessed Brother Andre Bessate lived in this unique building. In 1966, the Brothers sold the property to the University of Notre Dame. The building's name was changed to Carroll Hall, which was borrowed from an old high school wing of the main building. Since that time, Carroll has housed undergraduate male students.

Carroll Hall was named in honor of Charles Carroll, the cousin of Archbishop John Carroll. Charles was the only Catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence. Today it serves as the only undergraduate dormitory on a lake, and its location over the St. Mary's western shoreline ranks as one of the best views on campus.

Traditions
Nicknamed the Vermin, Carroll Hall is known for its distance from the rest of campus. It has one of the smallest populations of students and the largest rooms on campus. Vermin men are few, but proud, and the history of this building makes it special at the University. Held on the first Friday of December, Carroll Christmas is one of Notre Dame’s premiere signature events, and is certainly Carroll’s signature event. It is everything you would want or ever want in a Christmas party. Events include the lighting the giant Christmas tree, performances from on-campus groups like the Glee Club, and Christmas carols from all the Vermin. In recent years, Carroll Christmas has featured an appearance by ESPN College Gameday Analyst Digger Phelps, an extremely competitive cookie contest, and a horse-drawn carriage from LaFortune student center all the way to Carroll.

Cavanaugh was originally built as a male dorm in 1936. It was named after Notre Dame's fifth president, Rev. John W. Cavanaugh. 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 collegiate Gothic style. During World War II, Cavanaugh, along with four other dorms, housed navaly officers-in-training. 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 Jeannine Dicarlantonio, alumna of the university.

History
Duncan was built as the first of four new dorms to be built by the University to alleviate overcrowding in the existing residence halls. The hall was the first to be built since the completion of the original four West Quad dorms (Welsh Family, Keough, O'Neill, and McGlinn) in 1996/1997, and it fills the space of former volleyball courts west of 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 Hall (also on West Quad). The Duncan family has strong family ties to the University, including Mr. 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 presently hosts a food-service business called The Highlander Grille, a basement with an exercise room, and many other niceties. 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 by Fr. John Jenkins, University president, and attended by the Duncan family and distinguished guests as well as the dorm's residents and hall staff.

Traditions
The signature events of Duncan Hall is Higlander Highrise, a formal ball that takes place in Willis Tower in Chicago. Another event is the Duncan Classic, a golf tournament that takes place in Spring.

History
Farley was originally built as a men's dorm to house 199 men. It offered a variety of rooms including singles, doubles, triples, and quads. It was the first dorm to try the "stay-hall" system which is still in place today. In this system residents stay in the hall all four years rather than being divided by class/rank as they were up until the 1960s. Farley became one of the 5 original women's dorms in 1972 when the university opened its doors to women. Sr. Jean Lenz was the first female rectress and writes of her experiences in her book, Loyal Sons and Daughters.

The current rector is Elaine DeBassige who received her Ba from the UNiversity and her MA in Counseling Psychology and Counselor Education From the University of Denver.

Traditions
Farley now houses 242 women at capacity. There are about 82 freshmen, 55 sophomores, 65 juniors, and 37 seniors in the 2006-2007 class with some variation from incoming transfer students and students studying abroad. The women of Farley hall are called the "Finest" and dorm colors are green and gold. This subject has been under debate recently, however. Colors are moving towards pink, blue, and white and last year the theme for the dorm-hosted pep rally (when the dorm mascot or name is most often used) was "Farley's Angels." Farley Hall won dorm of the year in 2003-2004. Farley's signature event is "Pop Farley Week" which was started in 1976 and had its 30th anniversary this past school year. This event includes dorm bonding events including sketches, dinners, trips, hall decorating, and ending in a dance. Farley also hosts a fundraising event called "Farley Fiesta" (formerly "Farley Feis") to raise money for their charity, St. Luke's School, where their residents also tutor along with their brother dorm, Stanford. Farley hosts a swim competition in the spring, a talent event in the fall, and the "Farley Hall Players" have a spring play every year. Their football team has done poorly in recent years, but last season it came back to be 3-3 after an 0-3 start and they are hopeful for this season.

History
Constructed in 1952 by Peter Schumacher and Sons Construction Co. of Mishawaka, IN as housing for 156 seniors (with mostly single rooms), Fisher Hall was dedicated by Sally Fisher to her husband, Fred Fisher, former member of the Board of Trustees. At the time of construction, Fisher was the second residence hall to have a social lounge. 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 dorm is Pangborn Hall, however, historically the men of Fisher have also made love to residents of Badin Hall.

Traditions
Fisher Hall's signature event is the Fisher Regatta, hosted annually at the end of the Spring semester. 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. The Fisher Regatta is continually chosen as a favorite event of all Notre Dame students and was recognized by ESPN as one of the "Top 100" college student activities in the United States in 2004.

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.

A big "F" letter hangs on the side of the Hall. The original insignia was place in the 80s but was then stolen by the residents of Pangborn Hall in 1991. It was replaced with a bigger plastic letter.

History
Howard Hall is one of the oldest buildings on the campus of Notre Dame, and is in many ways a trailblazer. Constructed in 1924, Howard Hall was the first instance of a Notre Dame building being built in the collegiate Gothic style, and was also the first building to be named after a lay person—Notre Dame Professor and Indiana Supreme Court Justice Timothy Howard. The dorm was converted from a male to a female residence hall in 1987, at which point the dorm took on the now-familiar Duck as its mascot. Although it is one of the smallest dorms on campus, Howard Hall has a number of signature events throughout the year. Among these events are the Howard Hoedown (a fall dance), an annual bone marrow drive, Dunk-a-Duck (a dunk tank that raises money for melanoma awareness) and Totter for Water (a 24-hour teeter-totter fundraiser designed to help third world countries access clean water).

Howard Hall is probably best known for its quaint double archway that separates the first floor into two sections and passes under the upper three floors of the hall. Adorning these arches and the other main entrances to Howard are a number of gargoyle-type stone carvings depicting anything from an owl to a student who has just received a less-than-stellar report card. To the west, the archway is adorned with a statue of Saint Timothy. The chapel features a pietà by sculptor Jean de Marco.

The current rector is Ms. Margaret Morgan who obtained her BA in theology, MA in Education and MA in Theology at the University.

Traditions
The Duck mascot was chosen after the 1986 film Howard the Duck by George Lucas. Although it is one of the smallest dorms on campus, Howard Hall has a number of signature events throughout the year. Among these events are the Howard Hoedown (a fall dance), an annual bone marrow drive, Dunk-a-Duck (a dunk tank that raises money for melanoma awareness) and Totter for Water (a 24-hour teeter-totter fundraiser designed to help third world countries access clean water).

In 2010, Howard Hall was named Women's Hall of the Year by Hall President's Council. In 2012, Howard Hall was awarded the distinction of being Hall of the Year.

History
Keenan Hall was built in 1957 and was named after James Keenan, a Notre Dame alumnus from Fort Wayne, in memory of his son James Keenan jr., who died in 1941 before entering the University. The Keenan family operated a chain of hotels in the Midwest. The building is shared as the chapel with Stanford Hall that is itself symmetric to Keenan. Until the mid 60s, it was a hall for incoming freshmen. The Holy Cross chapel features a 13-foot crucifix and a wooden carving depicting "Christ as a Young Boy in the Temple" by Ivan Meštrović, former professor and artist in residence at Notre Dame. The chapel also features stained glass windows by Robert Leader, one of the last remaining Iwo Jima veterans who witnessed the famous flag-raising. The current rector is Mr. Noel Terranova who is pursuing a Doctorate in Theology at the University. He obtained his BA in Theology from the Villanova University, where he also was Associate Director of Campus Ministry.

Traditions
Keenan Hall is renowned for its many activity and events, the most prominent of which is the Keenan Revue, a comedy sketch attended annually by almost 4000 students making it the most popular hall-organized on campus event. The Revue started in 1977 and it always featured an all-Keenan cast and crew. It was hosted in the O’Laughlin Auditorium at Saint Mary's College until 2009 but then it moved to Stepan Center on the campus of Notre Dame. The skits of the show parody and make fun mostly campus life and stereotypes. The Revue is the mst waited and participated event in Keenan and it is funded by alumni donations. Admission is free and this also has helped make it the most popular student event on campus. . The show is loved by the student body. Another popular event on campus is Muddy Sunday, a volleyball tournament played in mud during the annual spring An Tóstal celebrations. All the profits go to Habitat for Humanity. Other traditions include Disco Roll, a 70s themed disco dance, Reindeer Roast, Great Pumpkin, a Haunted House set up in the basement for the children of South Bend, and Keenan Klassic, a 2 against 2 charity Basketball tournament.

The basement, known as Keenan Kommons, is one of the largest common spaces on campus. It features lounges, ping pong tables, televisions, and study spaces. It was recently renovated and features a 90-inch flat screen. The commons also host a weight room, two kitchens, a laundry room, a music rehersal space, a library and study room, and a meeting room.

The basement hosts a student run eatery called Zaland, that stands for "Best Pizza in Za-land".

Traditionally, the rival dorm of Keenan has always been the twin dorm Stanford Hall, with whom Keenan shares its chapel. The annual inter-hall football match is called "Battle for the Chapel". In recent times the main rival of Keenan has been Zahm Hall. Residents of Keenan and Zahm have a long history of pranks and feuds.

Keenan has won several times Hall of the Year and Men's Hall of the Year and currently detains the "Hall of the year title".

History
Marilyn M. Keough Hall was dedicated on September 27, 1996, and is located on West Quad across from South Dining Hall with neighbors McGlinn Hall, O'Neill Hall, and Welsh Family Hall. It is the gift of Donald Keough, who served as chairman of Notre Dame's Board of Trustees from 1986–1992, and of his wife, Marilyn. It was built as one of several replacement dorms for Flanner Hall and Grace Hall, both of which were turned into administrative buildings.

Fr. Tom Doyle, C.S.C. served as Keough Hall's first Rector. Upon completing his Seminary 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 became interim rector for the 2006-2007 school year. Keough Hall's current Rector is Fr. Pat Reidy.

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. Every fall the dorm hosts "The Keough Hall Chariot Race" in which the different sections within Keough, as well as other dorms, build their own chariot to race against one another. This signature event lasts all day and 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 another event called "Aussie Fest", which usually wraps up the year with a cookout, games and music.

History
Constructed in 1925 as a residence for 195 men; One of the first residence halls to incorporate the proximity of the lake in its design (thus, the picturesque views of St. Mary's Lake through its archway); Dedicated in honor of Joseph Lyons, an English professor in the 1860s; Originally known as an honors hall; Converted in 1974 to Notre Dame's sixth residence hall for women; Hall leadership coordinates annual Mara Fox Run which raises funds for a scholarship of a former resident of Lyons Hall who was killed in 1993.

Lyons Hall is dedicated to the memory of Professor Joseph A. Lyons, one of Notre Dame's most distinguished early faculty members. Lyons first came to Notre Dame as a fifteen-year-old orphan in 1848, entering the shoemaker's shop as an apprentice. By 1851 he had impressed even Father Sorin with his determination and attitude. As a reward, the President gave him one free year of tuition at the University, and Lyons entered the Scholasticate to study for the ministry. After several years he decided to pursue a career in teaching instead of the priesthood. Lyons graduated from Notre Dame in 1862, receiving highest honors. The post-World War I college boom led to an influx of students and a housing shortage at Notre Dame. Father Matthew Walsh, then the University's President, commissioned a major physical expansion which included the building of Howard, Morrissey, and Lyons residence halls. These three were designed as a group in 1925 by Francis Kervick and Vincent Fagan, members of the Architecture faculty. Lyons, in particular, was designed in order to better integrate the lakes into the campus landscape. The Lyons arch, by far the building's most distinctive feature, "frames St. Mary's Lake, providing a delightful vista as well as a picturesque entrance to the hall." The arch, designed by Kervick, "was so sited that from several vantage points on the western half of the South Quadrangle (for example, from the front entrance steps of the South Dining Hall) a walker, while surrounded by buildings, could have a view of the lake." The construction of Lyons Hall was completed in the spring of 1927.

Traditions
The signature event of the hall is the Mara Fox Fun Run, established in 1993 to honor Fox, a freshman in Lyons. Lyons host the Lyons Luau ball in front of Saint Mary's Lake.

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 amentities 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 for seven years and works in campus ministry as well. McGlinn residents fondly refer to Sister Mary as "Sista" 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 has lived in McGlinn since its construction was completed in 1997. He has worked as a history professor at Notre Dame and retired in 2012 to part-time teaching. Fr. Tom presides over mass in McGlinn Hall Chapel frequently. He always keeps Snickers bars in a bowl outside of his apartment.

Traditions
Casino Night is McGlinn Hall's faboulous signature event held at South Dining Hall. It is a night of fun "casino-style" games with play money that is counted for a chance to win awesome prizes! There is even a Texas Hold 'Em Tournament with a prize for the big winner. Each year, the signature event gets bigger and better with more prizes and more attendees! All of the proceeds from the event are donated by the Shamrocks towards it charity, the Women's Care Center in South Bend. The week before Casino Night is "Spirit Week" in McGlinn. McGlinn is one of the few dorms with living donors. Because of this wonderful 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.

History
Pangborn Hall was built in 1955, named for Thomas C. Pangborn and John W. Pangborn. It was the 15th building built on campus and 1 of 4 that was dedicated in 1955. 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. One of its most famous residents is George Wendt, who played Norm on Cheers.

History
Constructed in 1988 through the financial commitments of Robert ('37) and Ray ('65) Siegfried, 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 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. Additionally, Siegfried residents are involved in activities ranging from the Notre Dame Marching Band to leadership roles in various clubs. Most importantly, Siegfried Hall has a long tradition of having a close-knit Sunday Night Mass. At 10 pm on Sunday nights, the residents can be found coming together in the Chapel dedicated to Our Lady Seat of Wisdom.

History
Stanford and Keenan, joined together in Siamese twin fashion, were built in 1957. 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 a Notre Dame graduate who would later serve as a lay trustee of the university. Grattan T. Stanford, class of 1904, was an Indiana native who spent three decades as general counsel of the Sinclair Oil Corporation.

Stanford and Keenan's chapel has a handsome chapel that contains one of Notre Dame's finest icons, the magnificent crucifix made by celebrated sculptor Ivan Mestrovic. Located just off the hall's lobby, the Chapel of the Holy Cross 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 Vatican II changes, but, happily, the Mestrovic crucifix remains to immeasurably grace the chapel. In the lobby another of Mestrovic's works, a wood carving titled Christ as Young Boy Teaching, is present.

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.
