Montana State U Booms: New Nursing & Tech Halls Open

Author: The Daily News Now! April 22, 2026 Duration: 1:38

Montana State University is experiencing a significant growth spurt, with over seventeen thousand students enrolled for fall 2025. This surge is driving massive campus upgrades, including the opening of two standout projects: Jones Hall and Gianforte Hall. Jones Hall, home to the College of Nursing, was made possible by a $110 million gift from Mark and Robyn Jones, while Gianforte Hall houses the School of Computing, thanks to a $50 million donation from the Gianforte Family Foundation. These new facilities, along with other campus renovations, are fueling Montanas needs in nursing and cyber fields, keeping the university and state ahead of the curve.
