Li Ka Shing Center for Learning and Knowledge–

Li Ka-shing

Hong Kong entrepreneur and global philanthropist Li Ka-shing, a longtime friend of Stanford, is the building's major benefactor. He was attracted to the project because of his continuing relationship with the university and its dedication to the highest standards and innovation in health-care sciences, as well as his belief that the new center will contribute to transformative change in medicine through leading-edge education that reaches beyond traditional health-care training to include knowledge and learning from many other disciplines.
