"It was truly a joy for us at Notre Dame to work with our colleagues at Mackey MItchell in the planning, design, and construction of Duncan Hall. In addition to genuine expertise in student housing, they brought a high level of passion, dedicated client service, and plain hard work that helped make Duncan Hall a wildly successful project for the University."

A major design challenge was to provide updated facilities and programs for the students without altering the unique Notre Dame experience.
