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 Hall.  Unique interior spaces include a chapel, coffee house, and student library. 

 

Project Status:

Presently, the work is focused on the completion of the exterior enclosure and the installation of systems within the building.  The project has progressed well during the favorable weather of the summer months.  The building is scheduled for completion during mid-summer 2009 so that it can be fully occupied by the fall semester of 2009.
