Notre Dame to Demolish Corby Hall And Reconstruct With Donation

According to a recent story from the South Bend Tribune, Notre Dame will demolish Corby Hall in June and replace it with a new building of a similar design.

Corby Hall is one of the oldest buildings on campus, originally opened in 1893 according to University Facilities, and is the home of Congregation of the Holy Cross priests on campus and still houses priests today.

The decision to replace the building was a joint decision between the congregation and the university after deciding that it wasn’t feasible to renovate the existing building. Just last year Notre Dame announced it received a $50 million gift from Mary and Jay Flaherty, $20 million worth of which was intended “for the reconstruction and ongoing maintenance of Corby Hall.
