Bond Hall

Bond Hall is a Neoclassical building on the University of Notre Dame campus featuring symmetrical proportions, prominent columns, and formal classical detailing. Its interior contains multiple classrooms and faculty offices that serve the daily academic functions of the institution.

Edward Lippincott Tilton designed the building in 1917 as a key part of the University of Notre Dame's architectural development. It was built during an era when classical design dominated educational construction across America.

The building embodies how American universities of the early 20th century chose classical architecture to convey educational prestige. It reflects the design preferences that shaped academic campuses across the country during this period.

The building remains in active academic use throughout the day, so viewing it is best done from the exterior or during campus tours. Campus access is generally open to visitors, though interior access may depend on ongoing activities.

The structure is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, recognizing its architectural importance beyond the campus itself. Despite this heritage status, it continues to serve in its original academic capacity without interruption.
