With iconic views of both Notre Dame Stadium and The Word of Life mural, Library Lawn serves as a front porch to campus to gather, relax, and study. The lawn is filled with Adirondack chairs and fire pits so you can enjoy an evening under the lights, make a s’more, or hang out with friends.
As a space for student groups to regularly program in the evenings and weekends, you never know what fun can be had on the lawn.
