The College of the Holy Cross announced Monday it would name a new science facility in honor of Dr. Anthony Fauci, who graduated from the Jesuit school in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1962.
“Dr. Fauci vividly personifies the distinctive characteristics of a Holy Cross education, and we know his life and work are already inspiring the next generation of empathetic servant leaders,” said President Vincent Rougeau in a statement.
The facility, the Integrated Science Complex, will be called the Anthony S. Fauci Integrated Science Complex, and the dedication is set to take place on June 11.

The event is set to take place during Fauci’s class reunion weekend, according to a report.
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases majored in the classics with a premedical concentration while he attended Holy Cross, the report noted.
Fauci has said he fostered his commitment to social justice while attending the college.

“It’s fitting that Dr. Fauci’s name will adorn a complex designed to foster integrated learning across multiple academic disciplines — the kind of broad, collaborative and holistic thinking one needs to manage health crises such as HIV/AIDS, Ebola and Zika, or the current COVID-19 pandemic,” Rougeau said.
