The five-story property will include a simulated stock-exchange trading floor, breakout and meeting rooms and tiered lecture halls.<\/p>\n To fund the new school, DBU launched a $60 million fundraising campaign in May. The Mabee Foundation announced a $2 million commitment<\/a> for the project on Nov. 12. The grant challenges DBU to raise an additional $8 million by July 2026, which would put the institution at $53 million toward its goal.<\/p>\n The campaign was launched with a\u00a0$20 million gift<\/a> from Linda Carter, whose late husband, Don Carter, was an investor known for serving as the founding owner of the Dallas Mavericks.<\/p>\n
