From The Philadelphia Inquirer: Drexel University in Philadelphia is receiving a $45 million gift from corporate executive and alumnus Bennett S. LeBow for a new academic center for its business school. University officials say it's Drexel's largest gift from a single donor. At a cost of $92 million, the spacious, 12-story limestone-and-glass building is to open in 2014, consolidating Drexel's four business school buildings into one. It will enable enrollment in the business school to grow by about 500 students, to 4,100.
