The J.M. Long Foundation has given $1 million to the College of Pharmacy at the University of Hawai'i-Hilo.
The University of Hawai'i Foundation said the money will support the construction of the initial phase of a health sciences complex on the Big Island.
The college's teaching, research, study, administrative and faculty office spaces are now distributed across the UH-Hilo campus and the city of Hilo.
The site of the new health sciences complex is 10 acres next to UH-Hilo's astronomy and science museum, the Imiloa Astronomy Center.
The College of Pharmacy was founded in 2006.
Joseph M. Long, co-founder of Longs Drug Stores, created the foundation in 1966.
