Ken Griffin pledged $50 million to a cancer research center at the University of Miami, his largest philanthropic gift in Florida to date.

The donation will fund a new 12-story facility set to open in 2025, according to a Tuesday statement. The new facility, which will be named after the founder of the Citadel financial firm, doubles the University of Miami’s Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center research footprint.
