Built to Last

This is a quick one. For the last few days I have been at the University of Notre Dame for the ACE Superintendents’ Academy. It has been a wonderful time to meet with other superintendents from across the country and enjoy the beauty of the Notre Dame campus.

One night I walked over to the library and took the obligatory picture of the iconic building. While admiring the beauty of the imposing structure, a thought came to mind.

What will they be using this building for in 10 years? In 5 years? When the majority of the paper resources within become readily digitally available, what happens to this pride of the campus? Will it be a crypt for unread books? a photogenic anachronism? a backdrop for football games?

As always, I welcome your comments.
