The plan for reuse of the Gibbs Hall/Stokely Athletics Center site included a new $68 million residence hall, open both to male and female students, on the east side of the site close to the Gibbs Hall location, featuring seven hundred beds in single-occupancy rooms with shared living areas and with a dining facility open to the university community. Ground was broken immediately after the razing of Gibbs Hall. In 2015 Peyton Manning gave $3.5 million to be used for the football program and the Peyton Manning Scholarship Endowment. The Athletics Department announced that Gate 16 of Neyland Stadium would be named for Gus Manning. The dining area in the residence hall under construction would be named the Carmen and Deborah Tegano Student Athlete Dining Hall, for two people important to Peyton Manning. At that time, Carmen Tegano was the sports administrator for the baseball program and a liaison to former UT athletes. His wife, Deborah, was one of Peyton’s professors at UT.
