Assumption University in Worcester is naming its new 41,000-square-foot health sciences center, completed in November 2020, after alum Dr. Richard Catrambone and his wife Sophia, following a multi-million dollar donation to the school.
The couple was compelled to make the donation after touring the new center, the school said. Assumption, a private Catholic university, didn’t disclose the exact amount of the donation.
Assumption completed construction of the three-story building in November. It houses a number of teaching facilities for the Froelich School of Nursing, School of Health Professions, and several other departments and majors.
Catrambone sits on Assumption’s board of trustees, serves as a diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and until his retirement, was an an assistant clinical professor of oral and maxillofacial surgery at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine in Boston for 28 years.
Catrambone runs a private practice in Brockton, where he is the chairman of the Department of Oral Health at the Steward Good Samaritan Hospital, according to Assumption.
