Drexel builds the Leonard Pearlstein Business Learning Center in 2001, named after Leonard Pearlstein, a major Drexel benefactor who had died in 1996. In 2003, the Pearlstein family makes a donation in honor of their father to rename the Design Arts Gallery originally held in Nesbitt Hall the Leonard Pearlstein Gallery. When the gallery moves to the URBN Annex at the end of 2011, the Pearlsteins make another donation to further equip the gallery’s expanded space.
