Boone Pickens, James Huffines, chairman of the Board of Regents of the UT System, and Dr. Eugene Frenkel, professor of internal medicine at UT Southwestern, gather after the announcement of a $50 million donation by the T. Boone Pickens Foundation to ensure the continued excellence and prominence of UT Southwestern into the future. In recognition of the landmark gift, the 800,000-square-foot, 14-story medical research and education facility the group stands in front of on UT Southwestern's North Campus will be named the T. Boone Pickens Biomedical Building. Completed in 2005, it is the largest research building ever built for a Texas university.
