Columbia Alum Donates to Manhattanville Project
Columbia Business School alumnus Louis Bacon ’81 has made a generous donation to the school from the Moore Charitable Foundation. His donation will go toward supporting the new facilities at the school, which are a part of Columbia University’s Manhattanville project. Bacon founded the Moore Charitable Foundation in 1992 and serves as the Chairman. He is also the founder, chairman, chief executive officer, and principal investment manager of Moore Capital Management, LP, and a member of Columbia Business School’s Board of Overseers.
The Manhattanville project will create a new campus for Columbia in Upper Manhattan. The campus will be located just north of the University’s Morningside Campus. So far, the school has raised over $440 million for the project. The new campus will serve as a center of academic and civic life, ensuring that Upper Manhattan remains a world-class center of pioneering research and teaching.
