New Lower Division Lights Up the Night

Notre Dame’s new lower school building is shown at dusk. It features 12 state-of-the-art classrooms, modern activity space, a media center and administrative offices. The lower division as well as ND’s upper and middle divisions are International Baccalaureate World Schools.

The finishing touches and final details are being applied this week to Notre Dame's new lower division school building, which is scheduled to be open for the first day of school on August 22.

Landscaping work continues with the planting of trees and shrubs with sod scheduled soon. Most of the city and state inspections have been completed and administration officials say that furniture and desks for the school's junior-kindergarten through fifth-grade students will arrive next week.
