n 1992, St. Michael's Laundry reopened on the north side Iof campus after a fire destroyed the original on-campus operation in 1989. Today, St. Michael's holds contracts with 1,486 students, rectors and other members of the Notre Dame community, who together have already provided 15,435 bundles for cleaning this year, each weighing an average of 11 pounds. St. Michael's not only cleans clothes for those with contracts, but also washes linens for the Morris Inn and the dining halls and uniforms for all of the sports teams. The laundry service also accepts items on a drop-off basis.
