“This gift is inspirational and visionary. The research which will be done in this building will help shape the future of health and wellness,” said Steve A.N. Teams from diverse disciplines will strategically collaborate to drive innovations that bring novel insights and new treatments to help communities thrive. The building will be set in UCI’s health sciences district along Michael Drake Drive, and it will include state-of-the art, well-equipped wet laboratories and meeting spaces to foster groundbreaking research and the training of future investigative pioneers. “The Falling Leaves Foundation Medical Innovation Building will be a vital resource for exploring new frontiers and improving the lives of people in our community and beyond.”

“This exceptional gift recognizes UCI’s preeminence in conducting basic, translational and clinical research dedicated to the discovery of new medical and scientific knowledge,” said Chancellor Howard Gillman. The Falling Leaves Foundation was established by Prof. The approximately 200,000 square-foot Falling Leaves Foundation Medical Innovation Building will be one of the largest in the West and will provide optimal space for core instruction and laboratories to extend advances in medicine and the health sciences. Supported by a $30 million lead gift from the Falling Leaves Foundation, a planned state-of-the-art medical research facility at the University of California, Irvine will expand the global reach and impact of the campus’s advanced cross-disciplinary teaching and translational research achievements.
