A global industry leader with a strong interest in Western New York has gifted $1 million to UB Engineering, to be used toward construction costs associated with a high-tech engineering building on the Amherst Campus.

The corporation, a generous and longstanding partner of UB, made the gift anonymously, and wished to support the school because it has been a boon, continuously supplying the corporation and the local area with an ambitious, technically skilled workforce.

“We are grateful to our corporate partner for its generous gift, for its commitment to UB Engineering and for helping us to achieve our ambitious goals,” said Harvey G. Stenger Jr., dean of the school. “Our futures are interconnected and our ongoing collaborations will produce new research, technology and a highly skilled workforce for this company and the region.”
