The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has given $20 million to Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University to help fund construction of a new computer science building.
The 150,000-square-foot building will be called the Gates Center for Computer Sciences. It will cost $50 million and will include an office space for 80 teachers, several computer areas, lecture halls, classrooms and an auditorium.
"With its state-of-the-art facilities and resources, the new Gates Center will help us to continue to transform computer science with outstanding research and thinking, while visibly and remarkably transforming our campus with a bright new space for learning," Carnegie Mellon President Jared L. Cohon said recently.
