<p>"Notre Dame now has the most innovative science and teaching facility of any university in the nation.</p>
<p>With our new $70 million Jordan Hall of Science, we are preparing the next generation of leaders in science and technology. Ready to impact the future of research, Notre Dame's premier science education helps students to "dream big" and to make a difference in the world."</p>
