University of Notre Dame residence hall

O'Neill Family Hall is one of the 32 residence halls on the campus of the University of Notre Dame and one of the 16 male dorms. Built in 1996, the dormitory was funded by the O'Neill family from Midland, Texas.

Established in 1996, O'Neill became both the first residence hall built on West Quad and the first residence hall constructed for men since Flanner and Grace Halls were built in 1969. The construction of halls on West Quad served to relocate students from Flanner and Grace. These two dorms, which each contained more than 500 students and spanned 11 floors, were converted into faculty, administration, and office space. The majority of Grace residents went to either O'Neill or Keough. Once established and filled with students, O'Neill quickly became known for its signature event, Mardi Gras which was later terminated by the University.

O'Neill Hall features 7 residential sections (two for each floor with exception to one section on the first floor). O'Neill has 24 hour social spaces, study areas, laundry facilities on the first floor, and TV lounges on each floor. It also has an exercise room, a chapel dedicated to Saint Joseph the Worker, air conditioning, and modular furniture.

Hanging of Christmas wreath "O". Mardi Gras: Terminated by the University, this event was a dorm wide event celebrated the weekend before the beginning of Lent. The event was later cancelled due to pressure from the University and as noted by then rector, Ed Mack, "It got out of hand." O'Neill's signature event is the Miss ND Pageant, in which contestants from each female dorm compete for the title of "Miss ND." Proceeds from the event benefit the South Bend Center for the Homeless.
