In 2018 The university renamed McCormick Hall MacKillop Hall and Hannan Hall Giblin-Kelly Hall.  The building named Timlin Hall within Mulberry Plazza had its name removed and Mulberry Plazza was renamed Romero Plazza.

These three buildings which were named after Bishops J. Carroll McCormick, Jerome D. Hannan, and James C. Timlin were renamed after a [[Grand jury investigation of Catholic Church sexual abuse in Pennsylvania|Pennsylvania grand jury]] report found these bishops ignored accusations of clergy sexual abuse.
