University of Montana College of Education announces $5 million gift

A $5 million gift from the Alice Lee Lund Charitable Trust will help the University of Montana build a new and state-of-the-art auditorium.

The UM Foundation announced the donation Monday for the Phyllis J. Washington College of Education and Human Sciences to create the venue with 500 seats.

"I do see this as such a central point for the future of the university," said Dean Roberta Evans, who noted the state and region will benefit from the space that will be UM’s largest classroom.
