在匹兹堡校区的投资中，计算机科学学院将获得5亿美元支持，并更名为Kenneth C. Griffin School of Computer Science1。迈阿密新校区建设已列入日程，将在2027年开工，2028年首次招生1，规模为35英亩，容纳3500名本科、硕士和博士学生1。格里芬将加入卡梅大学董事会1。
卡梅主席Farnam Jahanian表示，"人工智能代表了我们时代最重要的智力发展之一，它要求我们重新思考如何教育学生、进行研究和与他人合作"1。格里芬对迈阿密校区的前景充满期待，他称该校区"将成为全球最重要的学术机构之一"1。
Carnegie Mellon University has announced a $3 billion donation from Ken Griffin, founder and CEO of Citadel, marking the largest individual gift to higher education in American history 12. The transformative contribution will be divided between expanding the university's Pittsburgh campus and establishing an entirely new campus in Miami, Florida.
Of the total donation, $1 billion will support the Pittsburgh campus, with $500 million specifically directed toward the School of Computer Science, which will be renamed the Kenneth C. Griffin School of Computer Science 1. The remaining $2 billion will fund the construction of the Miami campus, a 35-acre facility designed to accommodate 3,500 undergraduate, master's, and doctoral students 1. Construction on the Miami location is scheduled to begin in 2027, with the first class of students expected to enroll in 2028 1. Griffin will join Carnegie Mellon's board of trustees following the gift 1.
University President Farnam Jahanian emphasized the significance of the investment, stating that "artificial intelligence represents one of the most important intellectual developments of our time, and it demands that we rethink how we educate students, conduct research, and collaborate with others" 1. Griffin expressed confidence in the initiative, describing the Miami campus as one that "will become one of the most important academic institutions in the world" 1.
