Barnard Science Center Renovation
Roy and Diana Vagelos Science Center
Barnard College is thrilled to announce that Diana T. Vagelos ’55 and Dr. P. Roy Vagelos are donating $55 million to fund the renovation and expansion of Altschul Hall, home to the College’s principal science facilities. The new name, effective immediately, is the Roy and Diana Vagelos Science Center.
This gift, more than double the size of any previous single donation in the College’s history, will further elevate Barnard as a leader in preparing young women for careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.

R&D Sci-Center Renovation
The College is also announcing the launch of the Science Center Matching Campaign. Through the generous support of the Vagelos and Milstein families, the campaign offers the opportunity for donors to double the impact of their gift in support of the Roy and Diana Vagelos Science Center renovation. Contributions of $125,000 to $1 million are eligible for a 1:1 match through the program, with a total fundraising goal of $10 million. The College will work with donors to acknowledge their generosity, and the matching campaign will expand the availability of recognition opportunities.
