MSU Med School announces location, names school after GR businessman

According to excerpts from the story:

The Grand Rapids building that will become the new home of the MSU College of Human Medicine will be named "The Secchia Center" in recognition of a gift from alumnus Ambassador Peter F. Secchia that will total $20 million toward the $40 million in private support required to complete the project.

The naming was approved today by the Michigan State University board of trustees. In other action, the board authorized acquisition of a site within the Michigan Street Development, a commercial medical community, for location of The Secchia Center. The site is on Michigan Street in downtown Grand Rapids across from Spectrum Health and the Van Andel Institute.
