History
Constructed in 1952 by Peter Schumacher and Sons Construction Co. of Mishawaka, IN as housing for 156 seniors (with mostly single rooms), Fisher Hall was dedicated by Sally Fisher to her husband, Fred Fisher, former member of the Board of Trustees. At the time of construction, Fisher was the second residence hall to have a social lounge. Summer 2001 renovations included a new social space and a new chapel. Over the years, renovations to Fisher Hall have created a mix of single, double, and quad rooms. Fisher Hall contains more single rooms than most other dorms at Notre Dame, and consequently receives several students who "float" for singles from across campus. Fisher's sister dorm is Pangborn Hall, however, historically the men of Fisher have also made love to residents of Badin Hall.
