Baumer Hall is the newest men’s hall in the Notre Dame residential life community, completed in Summer 2019. This $20 million facility is the result of a generous gift from University of Notre Dame alumnus John Baumer and his wife, Mollie. “This University has been part of our family story for three generations,” John Baumer said. “The residence hall experience I had at Notre Dame was the backdrop for the best and most lasting friendships and memories I have made. Sharing every aspect of life with your residence hall community creates a foundation of friendship and support you will build on for the rest of your life. I am deeply grateful for my time in Zahm Hall, and we as a family are delighted that we have the opportunity, through Baumer Hall, to ensure this tradition remains strong and meaningful for future generations.” Baumer Hall is located on the south side of the Notre Dame campus, near to Ryan and Keough Halls. Throughout the 4-floor and 78,000-square-foot structure, Baumer Hall offers an atmosphere like no other. Equipped with a two-story lounge, a commmunity lounge on each floor, a reading room, study rooms, community kitchen, chapel, laundry, vending, storage, gym and space for food sales, Baumer Hall provides countless oppurtunites for it’s 251 residents to foster community, strenghen bonds, and uplift the hall as a place of special welcome.
