Real estate entrepreneur Jay Shidler donated an additional $1 million to the University of Hawaii-Manoa Shidler College of Business to complete renovations at the school.

Of Shidler's initial $25 million gift to the school in 2006, $1 million was set aside for the first phase of renovations, including landscaping, painting and resurfacing. Then, last summer the college received an additional $526,000 for classroom renovations. The latest gift toward renovations and new projects places the total at $2.5 million.

UH-Manoa Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw said Shidler's support "has truly transformed the physical and intellectual environment for our students and made this college a 'destination of choice.'"
