The University announced Tuesday the new men’s residence hall currently being constructed on South Quad, on the former site of Fisher Hall, will be named Coyle Hall, after donors John and Jill Coyle. The Fisher Hall community currently residing in Zahm Hall will move to the new dorm in 2026.
In a statement, University president Rev. Robert Dowd, C.S.C., praised John and Jill Coyle for their generous gift.
“John and Jill are tremendous leaders for Notre Dame, having supported the University with their time, treasure and talent for many years,” Dowd said. “The Coyles are inspiring role models, having been shaped by their own experiences at Notre Dame, and we could not be more grateful for their generosity, leadership and dedication to the University and its students.”
John and Jill Coyle are both graduates of Notre Dame, with Jill receiving her undergraduate degree in 1989 and John receiving his in 1988. They have three children who also attended the University.
John Coyle currently serves as a partner at Permira Advisors and was previously the global head of the Financial Sponsor Group at JP Morgan Securities. He is also a member of the University's Board of Trustees. Jill Coyle is currently the Board Chair for the American Red Cross Greater New York Region.
The Fisher Hall community currently residing in Zahm Hall will move to the new dorm in the fall of 2026 and will hold 258 students.
