St. Edward's Hall

St. Edward's Hall (also referred to as St. Ed's or Steds) is one of the 33 Residence Halls on the campus of the University of Notre Dame and one of seventeen male dormitories. Saint Edward's Hall is located directly east of the Main Administration Building and is directly west of Zahm Hall and houses 162 undergraduate students. St. Edward's Hall is the oldest dorm at the University of Notre Dame. The building itself was built in 1882 to house the minims, Notre Dame's boarding school program. When such program was discontinued in 1929, the building was converted to an undergraduate residence hall, which it has been ever since. Together with other historical structures of the university, it is on the National Register of Historic Places. The coat of arms is the Cross of Saint Edward the Confessor on a green background.
