A-B Foundation pledges $2.5 M to UMSL
The University of Missouri-St. Louis says the Anheuser-Busch Foundation has pledged $2.5 million over the next five years for new construction at its College of Business Administration.
The university calls it the largest gift in the college's 42-year history.
The university is in the early stages of planning and fundraising for a new building to house the business school's classrooms, research, technology and meeting facilities under one roof.
The estimated total cost is $30 million. The university says it hopes to break ground in two to three years.
Anheuser-Busch and its foundation have funded a number of university projects, including the Blanche M. Touhill Performing Arts Center in 2000.
