The Richard King Mellon Foundation announced Wednesday that it’s gifting the money to the University of Pittsburgh to develop a large swath of the 178-acre Hazelwood Green development along the Monongahela River into a biomanufacturing powerhouse.

The $100 million grant — the largest ever donated by the foundation for a single project — will provide the capital and some initial operating expenses for the site’s newest anchor tenant: Pitt’s planned commercial bioresearch and development facility named Bioforge.
