=== Administration and academic buildings ===
The Main Building serves as the center for the university's administrative offices, including the Office of the President. Its golden dome, topped by the statue of Mary, is the campus' most recognizable landmark. The main building is located on Main Quad (also known as "God Quad"), which is the oldest, most historic, and most central part of campus. Behind the main building stands several facilities with administrative purposes and student services, including Carole Sadner Hall, Brownson Hall, and St. Liam's Hall, the campus health center.

There are several religious buildings.<ref>{{cite web |title=Old College Program |url=http://vocation.nd.edu/seminary_programs/old_college_program.shtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070825181423/http://vocation.nd.edu/seminary_programs/old_college_program.shtml |archive-date=August 25, 2007 |access-date=December 11, 2007 |publisher=University of Notre Dame}}</ref> The current Basilica of the Sacred Heart is on the site of Sorin's original church, which had become too small for the growing college. It is built in French Revival style, with stained glass windows imported from France. [[Luigi Gregori]], an Italian painter invited by Sorin to be an artist in residence, painted the interior. The basilica also features a bell tower with a carillon. Inside the church, there are sculptures by [[Ivan Meštrović]]. The Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, built in 1896, is a replica of the [[Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes|original]] in [[Lourdes]] and is a popular spot for prayer and meditation.<ref>{{cite web |title=Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes // Campus Tour // University of Notre Dame |url=http://tour.nd.edu/locations/grotto/ |access-date=July 10, 2014 |publisher=Tour.nd.edu |archive-date=November 3, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151103042009/http://tour.nd.edu/locations/grotto/ }}</ref> The Old College building has become one of two [[seminary|seminaries]] on the campus run by the Congregation of Holy Cross.
