Duncan Hall
Constructed in 2008, Duncan Hall and was made possible by a generous gift from Raymond T. Duncan ’52, president of Duncan Oil Inc. and owner of Silver Oak Cellars. Located on the West Quad on the back nine holes of the Notre Dame Burke Golf Course, Duncan features eye-catching architectural designs and a breathtaking chapel. In 2009, the men of Duncan founded the now campus-wide Bald and the Beautiful philanthropy event in which supporters shave their heads in solidarity with cancer patients or donate hair to the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program. All proceeds go to pediatric cancer research. Funds raised at various Duncan events, including Master’s Week and the Duncan Classic golf tournament, continue to benefit the Bald and the Beautiful program.
