Heathcock Hall update

PMP Tech gifts $10M to the Heathcock Hall project

A $10 million commitment from Taiwan-based company Pioneer Material Precision Tech (PMP Tech) headed up by Rubber and Joy Chen will help catalyze educational opportunities for future generations of Berkeley chemistry, chemical engineering, and chemical biology students and help realize a vision of constructing this groundbreaking building to house the world’s most advanced community of chemical scientists and engineers. PMP Tech adds their support along with Terry (Ph.D. ’85, Chem) and Tori Rosen, BASF, Dow Chemical, and other institutions and friends to the growing number of donors for the new building. Chancellor Carol Christ said of the gift, “Heathcock Hall is vital to the College of Chemistry’s educational and research mission and Berkeley’s capacity to change the world. This extraordinary commitment from PMP Tech will truly make a difference in advancing the project forward and is particularly heartening as we look ahead to recovery from the pandemic.
