Atkinson Hall opens as a hub for research, collaboration | Cornell Chronicle
Briefly

Atkinson Hall was inaugurated on April 9, marking a significant step in Cornell's research landscape by serving as a collaborative hub for addressing pressing global challenges. Made possible by a $30 million donation from the Atkinson family, the building is not tied to any single college, promoting partnerships across various disciplines including sustainability, cancer biology, and global health. The facility will host multiple research units, fostering innovation through collaboration and supporting research with real-world applications.
"This investment is the physical embodiment of the Atkinson family's long-term commitment to research that makes a tangible difference in the well-being of people and the planet."
President Michael I. Kotlikoff said the Atkinsons and their family "deeply understand the power of research to improve lives through discovery, interventions, collaborative partnerships and the economic benefits of innovation."
