Keenan Hall - History

History

Keenan Hall was built and dedicated in 1957. The dorm, which is attached to rival Stanford Hall and located next door to its other rival Zahm Hall, was originally a dorm for incoming freshmen. Keenan Hall is named for James Keenan '13, who gave a donation to cover construction costs of the hall. The hall is dedicated as a memorial to Keenan's son, James, Jr., who died in 1941 just before he was able to start college.

After Notre Dame changed its residence hall policies, Keenan Hall became a residence for male freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
