Transformation of our facilities has been much a part of Notre Dame as our innovations in the classroom. Evidence of this began with the first paint brush raised by a Holy Cross Brother in Harugari Hall in 1946 to the construction of the new building in 1948, the addition of the gym and through other changes in our campus over the years. After six decades, the time is now for our next transformation. The image above illustrates the new and renovated facilities that will enable our students to learn and prepare for the ever-changing, technology-driven world ahead of them.
For more detailed information about the renovation, or to learn how you could help support the future of Notre Dame please download the current campaign booklet and contact the Office of Institutional Advancement by phone, (203) 933 - 1673 x214 or e-mail kwielk@notredamehs.com.
