Slow down and notice the flowers!

...from Notre Dame. One thing that we can overlook at Notre Dame is the wildflowers that are all about us. Even though they might cause allergy problems, they are pretty and certainly worth a gander as one shuffles from one campus building to the next. Enjoy your Sunday wherever you may be!

Again... what's happening at...

Yet another new campus building(s)

...Notre Dame during the summer? The answer... a lot. Here's ANOTHER new building that is going up on campus- the new school of global affairs. The Keough School of Global Affairs, located east of the Hammes Bookstore and North of DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, will be housed in the new Jenkins and Nanovic Halls. Construction is all but finished, but if you are curious as to what the finished building will look like, take a gander by clicking HERE. On the new home for the new school, St. Edward said, “With everything being NEW, I must admit, I feel a bit old.”

Another new campus building

...Notre Dame during the summer? The answer... a lot. Here's the latest building that is going up on campus- the new school of architecture. The Walsh School of Architecture, located south of the stadium and Legend's, will be the new home for the school of architecture. Hopefully, construction is ahead of schedule, but if you are curious as to what the finished building will look like, take a gander by clicking HERE. On the new home for the school of architecture, St. Edward said, "Seeing it makes we wish I majored in architecture..."

Looking good...

... from Notre Dame. Here's a beautiful view of the Main Building and Mary from St. Edward's. Once again, this proves that there are no bad views... or rooms... at St. Ed's. Enjoy your Sunday wherever you may be!

A rare moment...

All's quiet on North Quad

...occurred on campus this Monday. There was no one out and about on North Quad. Now, many will say, "Well, that's par for the course... it's North Quad." But before one causally dismisses this phenomena, remember the number of visiting summer camps and summer school students! On seeing no persons on North Quad, Fr. Ralph said, "Finally, some peace and quiet."

What's happening at...

The west building- the Duncan Student Center

...Notre Dame during the summer? The answer... a lot. Here's another building that is going up on campus- the Crossroads Project. The Crossroads Project, located around the stadium, will be a cluster of three buildings which will contain a new student center, student gym, music and psychology departments and much more. Still yet, there are improvements to the stadium too. Construction is ahead of schedule, and everything will be ready for the start of the football stadium. BUT... everything else will be not open until December.  On the December opening, St. Edward said, "Sorry students."

Best of...

...the Gentlemen's Monthly. Yes, three years ago today, here was today's posting. Enjoy this blast from the past!

Renovation Update.

Almost done

With most of the new windows in place, the roof has been receiving some attention. Damaged slate roof tiles were replaced, new copper finishings added, and a new coat paint given. While the color looks grey in the photo, the final color will be a dark brown that matches the Main Building. On the recent improvements to the roof, Fr. Ralph said, "It looks great, but are we getting a rooftop patio?"
