Dillon Hall

Dillon Hall is one of the 31 Residence Halls on the campus of the University of Notre Dame and one of the 16 male dorms. It is located directly west of Alumni Hall and is directly adjacent to South Dining Hall on the west. Dillon was built in 1931 and has space for 334 undergraduate students. It is named after Patrick Dillon, CSC, the second president of the university. The coat of arms is taken from the Dillon family. Together with other historic structures of the university, it is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Construction of Dillon and Alumni was part of an extensive building program that started in the mid 20s and aimed at improving educational and living facilities, and increasing supply of on-campus residential facilities. The two dorms were expected to cost $850,000 and add host 500 students to reduce the housing shortage and increase on-campus students to 2,600. Ground was broken on March 2nd 1931 and construction was contracted to Sollitt and Sons. Funds were collected through the Alumni Association and a $250,000 gift from the General Education Board. An additional $52,000 came from the 1925 Rose Bowl.
