On June 13, 2002, the recently built $100 million research building on the Medical School campus was officially named the "Aaron Lazare Medical Research Building" at the request of Framingham, MA entrepreneur and philanthropist Jack Blais and his wife, Shelly, who donated $21 million toward its construction.[3] Until 2021, Blais' donation was the largest gift from an individual in the history of the University of Massachusetts.[4][5][6]
