Project Location:

Geddes Hall will be located on the site formerly occupied by the Center for Social Concerns building northwest of the Hesburgh Library, directly west of Siegfried Hall.

 


Project Description:

The new building will house the Institute for Church Life, presently located in the Hesburgh Library, and the Center for Social Concerns which has been temporarily relocated to the “Old Security Building.”  This project is seeking LEED Certification.  The building will be four stories tall with a full basement containing approximately 65,000 square feet, having a combination of brick and cast stone, slate roof, and copper accents, similar to that found on Breen-Phillips and Farley Halls.  Unique interior spaces include a chapel, coffee house, and student library. 

 

Project Status:

Geddes Hall is now complete as of this past July with the Center for Social Concerns (CSC) first moving into the building shortly after completion and the Institute for Church Life moving in mid-August.

 



 

News from University Architect
Geddes Hall and Ryan Hall Open

The recent opening of Geddes Hall containing approx. 65,000 square feet houses both the Institute for Church Life and the Center for Social Concerns.  The building is designed to reflect an “arts and crafts” style architecture which is reflected throughout several areas of the building.  The new facility includes common shared spaces for both staff and students within the Our Lady of Mercy Chapel, coffee house, and the Fr. Don McNeill Library.  Other areas of Geddes include office space for staff and faculty, conference and meeting rooms, a large classroom/auditorium, several support spaces, and shelled space for future growth.  The project is in the process of seeking LEED certification.

Ryan Hall was successfully completed on time for fall semester occupancy with a total construction delivery of 16 months.  The spacious student rooms, social & study space, entrance vestibule, 24- hour lounge, and magnificent chapel were well received by students and parents as the first generation of students filled this new Women’s Residence Hall.  The building amenities consist of floor kitchens, an exercise room, laundry and vending.   The building has received positive feedback on the design, and traditional finishes used on the structure.  The University welcomes our newest residence hall opening.
