Harris donates $500,000 to Northwestern

William Harris, DC, has donated $500,000 in the form of a challenge grant to Northwestern Health Sciences University. The donation brings his total giving to the university to $1.7 million.

The donation will be used toward the construction of a $6.5 addition to the University’s existing building, which would be named the Wolfe-Harris Center for Excellence. The proposed plans call for a three-story addition with 16,000 square feet of space on each floor. The new space would house the Greenawalt Library, the Wolfe-Harris Center for Clinical Studies, and the patient care services for all the programs. The project is expected to break ground in the spring of 2007.

The gift is not Harris’s first to Northwestern. In 1991, he donated $1 million toward the Wolfe-Harris Center for Clinical Studies. Previous to that, Harris provided a $200,000 grant to fund a chair in business and practice management at Northwestern.
