The University at Buffalo School of Engineering and Applied Sciences greatly appreciates and thanks Barbara and Jack Davis for their generous gift, which names the School’s new engineering building “Barbara and Jack Davis Hall.” The building is located on UB’s Amherst Campus and will be the new home of the School’s Departments of Computer Science and Engineering and Electrical Engineering.UB News Center - News Release
The gift represents the Davis’ commitment to education and job growth in the Western New York community.
We are proud that Jack Davis is an alumnus of UB Engineering, earning his BS in Industrial Engineering in 1955. In 1964 he found I Squared R, a successful company in Akron, N.Y, which today employs over 75 workers.
UB Engineering is excited about its new building. Ground-breaking was in 2009 and ribbon-cutting is scheduled for 2011.
As a new home to both Computer Science and Engineering and Electrical Engineering, the facility will greatly expand our faculty, laboratory and academic teaching spaces and in so doing greatly extend the scope and quality of UB Engineering's cutting-edge research programs and educational activities.
The funding for the $75-million target price-tag includes a $49.6-million grant from the State of New York and generous corporate and individual gifts.
