Badin Hall is one of the 32 Residence Halls on the campus of the University of Notre Dame and one of the 14 female dorms. The smallest residence hall on campus, it is located on South Quad, between Howard Hall and the Coleman-Morse center. It was built in 1897 and hosted the Manual Labor School until 1917 before being converted into a men's dorm.[3][4][5][2][6][7][8] During World War II, it was part of the United States Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School, and in 1972 it became one of the first two residence halls at Notre Dame to host women.[9][10][11]
Badin Hall is listed as an historic structure in the University of Notre Dame: Main and South Quadrangles National Register of Historic Places listing.[12][13] When it was built in 1897, it was the first Catholic trade school in the United States.[4][7] It is an example of Second Empire architecture.[1][14] It was named after Fr. Stephen Badin, the first priest ordained in the US and provider of the land where the original Log Cabin was built.[15][16][17][18] Notable alumni include Father Theodore Hesburgh and multiple Heisman Trophy winners.[16] Today, it hosts 121 female undergrads, who are known as the Badin Bullfrogs.[19]
