What are they doing....

Making it better...

... in the Lady Chapel of the Basilica? We know there's construction going on at La Fortune and other places across campus, but what is all this construction about? Built to mark the 50th anniversary of Fr. Sorin's priestly ordination, the Lady Chapel appears to be need of attention, particularly its windows. The windows need to be strengthen and seal so that not only do they hold the beautiful stain glass in place but also keep the water out. In recent years, water was seeping into the chapel when it rained or the snow melted appears. On the new Lady Chapel windows, another unnamed University official stated, "Don't look behind the plastic curtain. Really. It's a mess."

... really.
