Estate Practice: Land Development"
Although no final decisions have
been made, the most likely site for the
new building is the open corner of the
campus quadrangle between the Science
Building and the Engineering Building.
The new building could connect the two
existing buildings.
"Such a physical connection between
the College of Arts and Sciences with the
College of Engineering would mirror the
growing importance of interdisciplinary
studies at Lawrence Tech',' Walker said.
"Mr. Taubman's commitment makes
those ties even stronger."
The new building and the existing
Engineering Building will be integrated
to form the new Taubman Complex.
The combined structure would also
provide additional space for the College
of Architecture and Design and growing
biomedical programs within the College
of Arts and Sciences.
Lawrence Tech offers more than
100 undergraduate, master's and
doctoral programs in the colleges of
Architecture and Design, Arts and
Sciences, Engineering and Management.

Sailing For A Cause
West Bloomfield resident Mickey
Bennett is passionate about the Great
Lakes Yacht Club's annual Leukemia Cup
Regatta on Lake St. Clair for many rea-
sons. One is personal.
His wife Helene's sister died of leu-
kemia in the 1950s when she was a
youngster.
"Back then, having leukemia was
nearly always a death sentence,' said
Bennett, the club's race committee co-
chair."The death rate was 95 to 96 per-
cent. Now it's 5 percent."
This year's regatta, held last month,
raised more than 540,000 for the
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of
Michigan.
GLYC has sponsored a regatta in the
nationwide Leukemia Cup series every
year since 2000, generating more than
$500,000.
Last year, more than 8,400 sailors
across the country raised more than $3.2
million for the society's state organiza-
tions.
Each boat that enters a regatta raises
funds. Sponsors provide prizes for the
top fundraisers.
