A $10 million donation from Pioneer Material Precision Tech, or PMP Tech, will fund the UC Berkeley College of Chemistry’s construction of Heathcock Hall.
Heathcock Hall will be a major chemistry research and teaching facility, according to College of Chemistry spokesperson Camille Olufson. The donation is a continuation of the partnership between PMP Tech and the College of Chemistry that started five years ago when College of Chemistry alumnus Ted Hou introduced the company executives to Douglas Clark, College of Chemistry dean.
“The College of Chemistry is very grateful for the wonderful partnership that we have had with PMP Tech over the past five years,” Olufson said in an email. “The company has been very generous, giving support to the College’s infrastructure, graduate fellowships, student programs and faculty support.”

Human activity is now leading to the equivalent of 40 billion tons of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere each year, putting us on track to increase the planet’s temperature by 1.5 degrees Celsius over pre-industrial levels by 2040. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), we must limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius to avoid the most dangerous impacts of climate change.
