Gift from the Kresge Foundation

The UW Library has been awarded a gift of $600,000 US for library renovations from the Kresge Challenge Grant. This grant was made on a challenge basis: if the Library raised the balance required to complete the renovation goal of $2.8 million by June 1, 2007, then the grant funds from Kresge would be received. We are the second library in Canada to receive this grant.
