In June 2013, MBA graduate (class of 1967) Art Samberg pledged to donate $25 million to Columbia Business School to assist with the construction of a brand new campus in Manhattanville. The dean of Columbia Business School accepted the pledge from Arthur Samberg together with a further $15 million donation from 1967 graduate Mario J. Gabelli. Just one month earlier, Columbia Business School accepted an additional $100 million donation.
The design of the school’s Manhattanville campus will be carried out by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, a prominent New York architectural firm, together with FXFOWLE. The design is expected to fulfil the demands for a fast-paced business environment in the 21st century, with cutting-edge technology and innovation at the forefront.
This is not the first offer of financial assistance from Art J. Samberg; in 2002, he donated $10 million to Columbia Business School, a sum that was used to establish the Arthur J. Samburg Institute for Teaching Excellence. Additionally, Mr. Samberg offered a further $25 million to the school in 2006.
