Twin institutes of UW-Madison biomedical research and discovery – one public, one private – will rise in the 1300 block of University Avenue by 2009 with the help of a $50 million private gift from UW-Madison alumni John and Tashia Morgridge.
The Morgridges’ gift, announced Monday, is the single largest private donation in university history. It will be matched by another $50 million from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation for a total $100 million privateboost to the building project, now known as the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery.
