Architect makes $5.5M donation

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2008 / January 30

Montreal real estate developer, architect and philanthropist David Azrieli has donated $5.5 million to the Carleton University school of architecture, which has been renamed the Azrieli School of Architecture. "I love the school," said Mr. Azrieli, who graduated from Carleton with a master's degree in architecture in 1997, when he was 75 years old. "I spent two beautiful memorable years there. I could see they had the potential to do great things with an improvement in resources." The gift brings Mr. Azrieli's lifetime contribution to Carleton to more than $8 million, making him the second highest donor in the university's history.
