It seemed like Dr. Svendsen’s work with stem cells held out hope for treating and perhaps one day curing or possible preventing Parkinson’s disease, ALS and similar neural diseases and damage. We thought, 'If we’re donating to the UW already, why not direct some of it to this research that can really change lives for the better?' |  | Human Ecology’s priorities include new and renovated space to bring all programs under one roof, create technology-enhanced classroom spaces, and add modern design studios and student gathering places. The new construction will also offer access to individuals with disabilities, expand a teaching and research preschool laboratory, provide climate-controlled space for the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection and Design Gallery, and add needed parking.
The project will be completed in two steps: First, the 1914 Human Ecology building will expand to the west, replacing the existing University Preschool and providing enlarged space for the Helen Louise Allen Textile Collection and Design Gallery. Second, the historic building will undergo major renovation to create a technology-enhanced learning and research environment, while improving the School’s abilities to expand outreach and service to local, state, national and global communities.
In conjunction with this growth, donors have the opportunity to honor an outstanding woman through the 100 Women Campaign. With each $100,000 gift, a donor (or a family or group of donors) can memorialize a woman who improved the quality of human life through exceptional service to a profession, family or community. Each woman will be recognized in the new building through an artful Wall of Honor. |
