Around the O has the report:
… A recent estate pledge from Jim and his wife Mary — an estimated $5 million — is a step in the right direction.
“This was a way to help out in return for what the school gave me,” said Rothwell, who worked 26 years at Callison, then one of the nation’s largest architecture and design firms. Rothwell served as CEO and board president before leaving the firm in 2011. He now lives in Colorado, where he designs homes.
The Rothwells have included a gift in their estate for the School of Architecture and Allied Arts endowment. Most of the contribution will fund a faculty chair in architecture; the rest will support travel scholarships, facilities and a discretionary dean’s fund.
