Simmons, who donated $25 million\u00a0to SMU in February 2013. This constitutes the couple\u2019s second donation to the university. In 2007, they donated $20 million that went toward the development of Annette Caldwell Simmons Hall, the school\u2019s first new building since its opening in 1915.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new building will support the growing impact and leadership of the Annette Caldwell Simmons School of Education and Human Development. The Simmons School excels in research productivity and innovative programs that have direct application to the critical education needs in our community and beyond,\u201d said SMU President R. Gerald Turner in a written statement. \u201cThe generosity of Harold and Annette Simmons reflects their wisdom and foresight in supporting programs that expand human potential and achievement.
