Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) today said it has received a $35 million (about ₹231.2 crore) gift from Tata Consultancy Services for setting up a new facility and scholarships for students.
“Representing the largest corporate gift to CMU and the largest gift from outside the US, this donation will fund a new facility, the TCS Building, which will support education and cutting-edge research by CMU faculty and students,” CMU said in a statement.
At about 40,000 sq ft, the stand-alone structure will house new facilities, providing collaborative spaces for the CMU community, it added. The building will also provide space for TCS staff to interact with CMU faculty, staff and students, it said. The gift will also endow Presidential Fellowships and Scholarships, increasing access to a CMU education for outstanding students, the statement said.
