for Donald W. Reynolds Center for Health Sciences
Arkansas State University in Jonesboro has received the largest
single donation in its history, a charitable gift of $14,508,342
from the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation, according to Dr. Robert L.
Potts, chancellor.
The gift will be utilized to construct a three-story health sciences
building just northeast of the Student Union/Reng Student Services
Center.
“We are thrilled to announce this gift because of what it will mean for
generations of ASU students seeking careers in the health sciences,” Potts
said. “The Donald W. Reynolds Center for Health Sciences
will be a fitting tribute to the memory of the gentleman whose ambition and generosity made
this gift possible.”
 The Donald W. Reynolds Center for Health Sciences is designed as a 50,650
square foot structure that will house the Speech and Hearing Clinic,
nursing and nurse anesthesia skills laboratories, large and small
classrooms, computer lab, dedicated research spaces and special project
rooms.
The gift includes more than $1 million in furnishings and major
equipment costs.
“The generosity displayed through this gift will make a significant
difference for the faculty, staff and students in the College of Nursing
and Health Professions and those they serve in our region” said Dr.
Susan Hanrahan, dean of the college. “We are extremely grateful to
the Trustees of the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation for their confidence
in our ability to create a facility that will enhance and enrich the
lives of others.”
