In 2003, the Newhouse School received a $15 million gift from the S.I. Newhouse Foundation and the Newhouse family to fund the construction of the third building in the Newhouse Communications Complex. in 2012, supported by lead gifts from the Kari and Dick Clark Foundation (Dick Clark '51 was a Syracuse alumnus) and Cablevision Industries founder Alan Gerry, Newhouse 2 underwent an $18 million renovation to enhance and expand its studio facilities, dubbed the Newhouse Studio and Innovation Center.
