Academic and research space EXPANDING
“From its founding 175 years ago, Notre Dame has been blessed by a consistent and determined vision of its leaders through the decades since to create a beautiful and remarkable campus environment. Each successive generation, including ours, owes to its predecessors a deep understanding of what has been inherited. Those who have played a role in planning and building the campus during this era have been humbled by the opportunity and the stewardship responsibilities entrusted to them.”

“While Notre Dame has had sev- eral preceding periods of significant campus growth, the last quarter century of development has truly been remarkable,” says Doug Marsh, vice president for facilities design and operations and university architect. Marsh would know. He and his team have been responsible for lead- ing the University in the successful planning, design, and construction of nearly $2 billion in new facilities, renovation, maintenance and utilities projects during his 23-year career at Notre Dame. He has directed the design and construction of more than 40 new campus buildings to- taling over 4 million square feet and the renovation of scores of facilities during his tenure.

Notre Dame Stadium, pictured here in the early 1950s. The Irish first played football games on Cartier Field, at the time located just north of the current stadium site. Notre Dame Stadium was built in 1930 at the direction of Knute Rockne, and patterned on the much larger stadium at the University of Michigan. When first built, Notre Dame Stadium held 59,075 people and stood 45 feet high. The total cost was more than $750,000. The stadium subsequently underwent an expansion and renovation in the mid-1990s that added more than 21,000 seats, new scoreboards and a three-tier press box. The renovation costs totaled $50 million.

Anthropology Anthropology’s move into Corbett Family Hall allowed the transfer of several research labs from the Reyniers Laboratory on the far north side of campus, including Associate Professor Susan Sheridan’s bone lab, at left and below. Sheridan is one of the lead researchers on the Dead Sea Plain Project, an ongoing excavation that explores the ways people lived and died in the earliest walled cities in southern Jordan. Sheridan and her students also conduct research on the large Byzantine St. Stephen’s skeletal collection exhumed from the grounds of the École Biblique in Jerusalem.
