A Visionary’s Transformative Gift
Founded in July 2008 through an extraordinary $100 million gift from international business leader Gerhard R. Andlinger ’52, the Andlinger Center began operations in the fall of 2010 and moved into its current home, a stunning complex of research, teaching, and garden spaces in 2016. Since its inception, the center has grown rapidly to include many exceptional faculty and senior research scholars from across disciplines, while our various programs support innovative research and collaborations, build strong and meaningful partnerships with industry, and provide unique educational programs that reflect the center’s mission and train students to be the next generation of leaders.
