A $2 million bequest from the estate of William Nikolaus Martin will allow the Brantford campus of Laurier to add more programs.

The influx of funding will be directed toward biology and chemistry programs with the creation of lab space for faculty and student research according to an article in the Brantford Expositor.  It is yet another forward step in the expansion of the school here in Brantford.

Martin who died in 2010 was a keen science enthusiast.
