A Purdue building housing the University’s largest academic unit has a new name, thanks to a generous gift from an alumnus. Purdue’s Board of Trustees on December 3 approved the naming of the Electrical Engineering Building on campus as the Max W & Maileen Brown Family Hall.
The Purdue Board of Trustees ratified a faculty naming and approved a new degree program, resolutions of appreciation, and work related to the new Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business building.
Lilly Endowment Inc. has approved grants totaling $100 million to Purdue Research Foundation to support two major Purdue University initiatives, including $50 million each to support the Mitchell E. Daniels, Jr. School of Business and Purdue Computes. Together, these commitments represent the largest gift in the university’s history.
