Overview

Like so many buildings on the University of Notre Dame campus, Washington Hall, built in 1881, and LaFortune Student Center, built in1883, have great historical significance. With both buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the renovation of the buildings called for windows that would be energy efficient and low maintenance, and that would also preserve the profiles and unique colors of the originals.

Marvin Signature Services was selected because of our custom capabilities, attention to detail and experience replicating wood profiles using extruded aluminum cladding.
