Until the Leo J. O'Donovan, S.J. Dining Hall opened in 2003, New South was the home of one of two dining halls on campus.

In the fall of 2004, a new entrance was created as part of a $21 million renovation of New South.[1]

In addition to student housing, New South also houses the office of the University Architect, University Facilities, Facilities Planning, and the MSB Technology Center.

Current University President John J. DeGioia lived in New South while a student.
