About
Building South Bend (BSB) is a collaboration between the Hesburgh Libraries of Notre Dame’s Architecture Library, the History Museum of South Bend, and the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County. The goal of the project is to create an online resource to study the past, present, and future architecture in the city of South Bend. In order to achieve this the team has created a website, mobile application, 3D printed models, and an immersive 3D virtual tour of downtown South Bend in the 1920’s.
About the team
Building South Bend was created by HUE/ND, students from the Hesburgh Libraries of Notre Dame's Architecture Library, the Historic Preservation Commission of South Bend and St. Joseph County (HPC) and The History Museum, South Bend (THM). Content for the site has been furnished by the HPC and THM and compiled by staff and students in the architecture library. Content is currently being added thanks to a new partnership with the Studebaker National Museum.
