Dorsey & Whitney - An International business law firm, applying a business perspective to clients' needs in Missoula, Montana and beyond.

The Micron Foundation’s gift of $25 million — the largest it has ever made — covers nearly half the cost of the $55 million center in Boise State’s materials science program, which started in 2002.

The Center for Materials Research, to be located next to BSU’s engineering building at the corner of University Drive and Manitou Avenue, will house a 250-seat lecture hall, a pair of 85-seat classrooms, and research space for use by professors and students from materials science and other sciences.
