$3 Million Pledged for Museum Expansion

David C. Copley, publisher of the San Diego Union-Tribune and head of Copley Press Inc., will donate $3 million to the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego for an expansion project that is transforming part of the old downtown train depot.

The money would help build a three-story structure at the 90-year-old Santa Fe Depot, set to open in 2006.

The David C. Copley Building will house a 130-seat lecture hall, rooms for educational programs, space for the preparation of art for exhibitions, staff offices and a conference room for the board.
