The University of British Columbia has received an $11.86 million gift from law alumnus Peter Allard, which will support the UBC Faculty of Law’s new building, establish an international prize that supports freedom, integrity and human rights, and create an online historical faculty archive.
The gift is the single largest donation to UBC’s Faculty of Law and one of the largest donations ever to a Canadian law school. In honour of Allard’s generosity, the university will name its soon-to-be-completed law building Allard Hall.
