Support the Jen-Hsun Huang and Lori Mills Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex
Opening in 2026, the Jen-Hsun Huang and Lori Mills Huang Collaborative Innovation Complex is a new $200 million, 143,000-square-foot advanced research and education facility. The complex was made possible by two $50 million gifts, from the Huangs and the Wayne and Gladys Valley Foundation. The state legislature also approved $72 million in capital bonds for the building’s construction, with the remainder of the funding coming from the university.
The Huang Complex will harness one of the nation's most powerful supercomputers and team-based research in artificial intelligence, materials science and robotics to solve global challenges in areas such as climate science, oceanography, sustainability and water resources. It directly supports the first goal of Oregon State’s new strategic plan, Prosperity Widely Shared: to become a university focused on big discoveries that drive big solutions.
President Jayathi Murthy said, “The complex will support exciting new discoveries as well as innovation, entrepreneurship and partnerships with industry and other universities. It will give students the learning experiences they need for successful careers, including in Oregon’s semiconductor industry. It will accelerate our ability to solve critical global problems affecting oceans, forests, agriculture, health, energy and more and to find creative solutions.”
Located in the historic Engineering Triangle on the north side of the Corvallis campus, the facility’s name honors the alumni couple’s gift. Jen-Hsun Huang is the founder and CEO of NVIDIA; he and his spouse, Lori, who is president of their family’s foundation, met as lab partners as undergraduates at Oregon State.
By making a gift today, you can join the community of donors making this ambitious facility possible, supporting exciting new discoveries and continuing OSU’s longstanding tradition of collaborative research across disciplines that helps solve global challenges.
