on its campus that will include all the components of STREAM –

excited to share with you a few renderings of some of the components
of this project, which will offer students new opportunities for

We are grateful to the engineers and architects from RS&H for their

faculty and staff under the direction of the Sisters of Notre Dame to
create these preliminary conceptual drawings.
