The Notre Dame student experience is grounded in green. The university’s everyday operations, the expansive Notre Dame community and the university’s longtime viability are supported by an unimaginably vast network of financial resources.
In 1988, the university contained about six million square feet of building space. Today, 40 percent of Notre Dame has been built in the past 25 years as the square footage of the campus has reached 10 million.

Ask about Hesburgh’s involvement in presidential politics, and you’ll have to clarify his involvement with which president. The fact that not one, not two, but six presidents, from both the Republican and Democratic parties in the age of partisanship, sought Hesburgh’s opinion over the decades demonstrates his national recognition. …
