From The Detroit Free Press: Detroit developer A.

Taubman will give money to Lawrence Tech in two phases: $1 million for planning and development of the A. Alfred Taubman Engineering, Architecture and Life Sciences Complex, and $10 million for a challenge grant that Taubman would pay if the school matches the gift in three years with $20 million in donations.
