It will house the new anthropology, psychology and digital media offices. • On the west side of the stadium, the beams have been going up for the nine-story Duncan Student Center, a study, fitness, career counseling and student activities building. Until that student activities edifice is open for business, the Notre Dame men's and women's basketball teams — the na- tion's best 2014-15 combination — likely won't have their own practice facilities. • Finally, foundation work has started on the stadium's south side, where a six-story building for the university's music programs will be built. • Among the subsets to these build- ings will be a hospitality club, pre- mium indoor seating and open-air terraces with views inside the sta- dium. • Approximately 2,000 seats even- tually will be added to Notre Dame Stadium, which currently holds 80,795 fans.

Among the other major construc- tion projects are McCourtney Hall, a new 220,000-square-foot research building east of Hesburgh Library and scheduled to open in summer 2016, and two new undergraduate resident halls due to open in August 2016. ✦
