Bashinsky Computer Lab and Bruno Library Donation Timelines: Culverhouse History

Dreams of a new business library and computer center for the business college finally became a reality in 1994 with the generous donation of $4 million from Mr. Bruno and $3 million from Mr. Bashinsky, both non-alums from Birmingham. The new state-of-the art business library and computer center opened the doors to the $8.5 million Angelo Bruno Business Library and the Sloan Bashinsky Sr. Computer Center in January of 1994. Others who made a significant contribution to the new buildings include the Charles Anderson family, Dr. and Mrs. William R. Bennet, Emeritus Professor of Marketing (Tuscaloosa), and Compass Bank.
