Endowed by a gift from the Kroc Foundation, the Center houses the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies and provides teaching, housing, office and dining space for resident and visiting scholars at the University of Notre Dame. The entrance pavilion, constructed of limestone and Kasota stone, provides a central, multi-functional reception and meeting space that is used extensively for meetings and gatherings in conjunction with the adjacent 125-seat auditorium and 30-seat conference/seminar rooms. The three separate buildings (public, office and housing) are organized around a central landscaped cloister, with glazed and skylit galleries connecting each of the pavilions.
