===New buildings===
In 2001, Concordia embarked on a mission to develop and expand the quality of the downtown campus, and to revive the west end in Montreal.

The university also acquired the historic [[Grey Nuns]] [[motherhouse|Mother House]] near its Sir George Williams Campus,<ref>{{cite news|first=Ingrid |last=Peretz |title=Montreal nuns moving — with saint's remains |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081223.wnuns23/BNStory/National/home |work=[[The Globe and Mail]] |date=December 24, 2008 |access-date=December 24, 2008 |location=Toronto |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081225231506/http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081223.wnuns23/BNStory/National/home |archive-date=December 25, 2008}}</ref> for $18&nbsp;million. Built in 1871, it would alone double the size of the current downtown campus. From 2007 to 2022, the university moved into the building in four separate phases. The large property will house the Faculty of Fine Arts and possibly the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema, and other departments. Concordia Residence Life currently houses nearly 250 students each year in the Grey Nuns Building. The dorm rooms are among the largest in the country, as many of the rooms have been transformed from when the section of the Grey Nuns Building was occupied by the Grey Nuns. The site was designated a [[National Historic Sites of Canada|National Historic Site of Canada]] in 2011.<ref>{{DFHD|13051|Mother House of the Grey Nuns of Montreal|May 2, 2012}}</ref>

The Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Integrated Complex (EV Building) at [[Saint Catherine Street]] and [[Guy Street]] was opened in September 2005. The building is directly connected to the Guy–Concordia Metro station and also houses Le Gym, a facility of Concordia's Department of Recreation and Athletics. Across the street, the 100-year-old [[TD Canada Trust]] building was donated to Concordia in 2005 by the [[Toronto-Dominion Bank]].

Construction of the new John Molson Building (MB), the home of the John Molson School of Business located on the corner of Guy Street and De Maisonneuve Boulevard West, began in February 2007. At a ceremony at Concordia on October 30, 2006, the [[Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sports (Quebec)|Quebec Minister of Education, Recreation and Sports]], [[Jean-Marc Fournier]], announced an investment of $60 million towards the construction of the new building. The government's $60 million represented about half of the total construction costs. Construction started on January 22, 2006, and the building was completed and opened in September 2009. The 15-story building now houses the John Molson School's about 9,100 full- and part-time students<ref name="ConcordiaUniversityFastFacts"/> under the same roof for the first time. The departments of contemporary dance, theatre and music also moved into the new MB Building. It is connected to the EV Building by a tunnel under Guy Street.

In April 2010, a 120-metre tunnel completed the underground connections of the Guy-Concordia Metro station with the Henry F. Hall Building and the J.W. McConnell Building.<ref>{{cite news|title=Concordia's new tunnel is about ready|url=http://blog.fagstein.com/2010/04/07/concordia-tunnel/|publisher=Fagstein|date=April 7, 2010}}</ref>

Concordia opened the Applied Science Hub<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.concordia.ca/content/concordia/en/next-gen/applied-science-hub.html|title=Applied Science Hub|website=concordia.ca}}</ref> on the Loyola Campus in December 2020. The $63.1-million state-of-the-art facility — built thanks to $36.7 million in support from the Government of Canada and the Government of Quebec — was strategically designed to enable interdisciplinary collaboration and research between faculty and students in the Faculty of Arts and Science, Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science as well as the District 3 Innovation Centre.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Concordia University|date=December 1, 2020|title='A major nexus of transdisciplinary collaboration': $63-million Applied Science Hub opens for research on Concordia's Loyola Campus|url=https://www.concordia.ca/next-gen/applied-science-hub.html|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125023154/https://www.concordia.ca/next-gen/applied-science-hub.html |archive-date=January 25, 2021 }}</ref>
