Walsh Family Hall Blessing and Ceremonial Groundbreaking

On October 29, 2016, Fr. John Jenkins blessed the building site of the Matthew and Joyce Walsh Family Hall of Architecture in the presence of the Walsh family, Universities leaders including Dr. John Affleck-Graves and Dr. Tom Burish, as well as School of Architecture faculty and Advisory Council members. The ceremony, on the site of the new building, allowed all those assembled to celebrate the impact the hall will have on the University’s academic programs through the addition of two new graduate programs in historic preservation and real estate and community development. Dean Michael Lykoudis spoke briefly about the changes and improvement the Walsh Family Hall will have on student life at Notre Dame and on the greater South Bend Community.

Tradition and Creativity in High-Rise Studio Projects

Notre Dame architecture students entered Solomon Cordwell Buenz's downtown Chicago office while wielding 3D models of the high-rise buildings they designed. These students spent the fall semester in the high-rise studio with Professor John Stamper, Associate Dean and Director of Undergraduate Studies and a leading expert on both the history and development of North Michigan Avenue in Chicago as well as ancient Roman Architecture. Over the course of three months, students learned to look beyond the wonderment of high-rise structures to understand their technological and functional requirements.
