Brothers Marvin and Jeff Levy donated $20 million toward the $115 million project for UW-Madison’s new humanities building that is named after their parents, Irving and Dorothy Levy Hall
UW-Madison’s new humanities building is a far cry from the one across campus that it is, in part, replacing: the decrepit Mosse Humanities Building, known for leaks, crumbling concrete and unreliable elevators.

The Lewis and Edith Phillips Auditorium is prepared for the grand opening event for Irving and Dorothy Levy Hall, UW-Madison’s new humanities building.
“We thought it was important to have areas of rest and relaxation, areas for snacks, and just areas in the better weather months to just be outside,” says Jeffrey Levy, who, with his brother Marvin, gave $20 million toward the $115 million cost of Levy Hall, named after their parents.
