Capital Campaign
TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION
The Learning Commons & Business Lab-Powered By Bloomberg
Notre Dame High School is launching a landmark $1.5 million campaign to build the Learning Commons & Business Lab—a direct investment in our students' professional futures. Opening in Fall 2026, this transformed space will bridge the gap between the classroom and the corporate world.
At the center of this vision is the Business Lab Powered by Bloomberg, granting access to industry-standard data and analytics. This technology is so advanced that many universities do not even offer it to their undergraduates, ensuring Notre Dame students enter business programs miles ahead of their peers.
Yet, this space is about more than just technology; it is about experience. The Commons will feature a fully operational student-run marketplace, allowing young entrepreneurs to test ventures in real time. Balanced with dedicated quiet spaces for deep academic focus, we are creating an environment where academic potential becomes professional power.
See where our students will build their future.
Project Highlights:
-
Business Lab - Powered By Bloomberg: A full build-out featuring industry-standard terminals and software, giving students a competitive edge in financial literacy, business, global markets, and more.
-
Collaborative Workspaces & Marketplace: Dynamic areas designed for students to move ideas from the classroom into real-world ventures.
-
Modern Learning Environment: Updated, flexible seating to support varied learning styles, balanced with Dedicated Quiet Reading Rooms for focused, deep academic work.
-
Essential Infrastructure & Access: Securing the foundation of the commons with a critical roof replacement and expanding resources through comprehensive Digital Library Access.
INTRODUCTION TO BLOOMBERG BY MR. FRANZEN
Bloomberg education suite and terminals will give Notre Dame students an unmatched advantage. Notre Dame will stand alone as the only high school in our area providing direct access to the financial markets. While others rely on textbooks, our students will soon be immersing themselves in real-world economics, ensuring they graduate with a competitive edge that no other local school can offer.
