Boston College received a record-breaking, historic one-hundred-twenty-five-million-dollar donation from the Patrick F. Cadigan Family Foundation, funded by the estate of the late Patrick F. Cadigan, who graduated from the university in nineteen fifty-seven. This monumental philanthropic commitment stands as the largest single donation in the history of the institution. The transformational gift is designated to fully fund the comprehensive architectural redesign, Gothic structural overhaul, and fifty-thousand-square-foot expansion of Carney Hall, which will be renamed Cadigan Hall upon completion to house multiple social science departments and the Office of Campus Ministry.
