A gift of Lorry I. Lokey of San Francisco, CA, is a large facility for biomedical research based on genetic manipulation of rodents, using advanced optical, MRI, and other imaging capabilities.

The only one of its kind in Israel and one of only a handful in the world, this is the largest core research facility on the Institute's campus, and unique in the variety and sophistication of its imaging capabilities. Research conducted in the building spans the medical spectrum, and includes studies on cancer, genetic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, bone and muscle development, and immune system disorders.

The building was designed by architect Zadok Sherman; architect Rafi Lerman participated in the design of the exterior arcade.

Lorry Lokey, who called his donation to Weizmann, "one of the best investments of my life," said he gives to educational causes out of gratitude for the solid start he got in grammar school. He decided to give a sizeable sum to the Weizmann Institute of Science in recognition of its reputation for scientific excellence and from his longstanding admiration for Dr. Chaim Weizmann – about whom he wrote an essay when he was 12 years old.

A native of Portland, Oregon, Mr. Lokey graduated in 1949 from Stanford University with a BA in journalism. A successful career in journalism and public relations led, in 1961, to his launching Business Wire, a corporate news distribution service, in San Francisco. Lokey retired from Business Wire in 2008, but he still counsels company managers and officers as needed. Now he devotes more time to his investments, so as to continue giving major grants to educational institutions.

His extensive community service on behalf of educational and cultural institutions in the US and Israel has been recognized with several honorary doctorates, including the Institute's in 2008.
