The second gift--$110 million--will be used to redesign TischHospital, NYU's renowned flagship hospital, built in 1963. It comesfrom a longstanding family of NYU benefactors who wishes to remainanonymous, according to a release from NYU Langone.

Helen and Martin Kimmel, both trustees of the medical center,earlier established research centers for stem cell biology and forbiology and medicine, endowed two basic science professorships andsupported a wide range of specific research programs, according toa release. NYU expects to break ground on the new Helen L. andMartin S. Kimmel Pavilion in about four years and to have it fullyup and running in seven years.
