2024 – 2026
Shields Family Hall: The largest of the completions is the football program's new home: the Jack and Kathy Shields Family Hall, a 150,000-square-foot facility on Courtney Lane on the east campus, given by Jack and Kathy Shields and announced on April 20, 2024. It was finished ahead of the 2026 season — the university showed the completed building on July 31, 2026 — and opened that fall. The building's completion is the university's building record and is entered here; the team's record stands in the Sports record.
Coyle Hall: On the south side of the campus, on the former Fisher Hall site, the university built Coyle Hall, a men's residence hall of 82,728 square feet and 258 beds, the naming gift of John and Jill Coyle announced August 27, 2024. Its first residents moved in for the fall of 2026 — the newest hall in the residential system the banked entries describe, and Fisher Hall's successor on its ground.
The Mendoza addition: The Mendoza College of Business's north addition reached occupancy in the fall of 2026. The university's Facilities project record gives the addition at about 28,000 gross square feet; the college's own account of the same work describes a 21,000-square-foot expansion, with construction launched in February 2025. The two university figures differ — a project record's gross measure against the college's own description — and both print, attributed, unresolved.
