From The Detroit Free Press: Detroit developer A. Alfred Taubman has pledged $11 million to Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, Mich., to build an engineering, architecture and life sciences building that will bear his name. Taubman will give money to Lawrence Tech in two phases: $1 million for planning and development of the A. Alfred Taubman Engineering, Architecture and Life Sciences Complex, and $10 million for a challenge grant that Taubman would pay if the school matches the gift in three years with $20 million in donations. The 100,000-square-foot building will be attached to the school's engineering building.
