Joseph Zilber, namesake of the recently completed Zilber Hall, died Friday morning at 92, according to a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel report.
Zilber donated $30 million to the law school in 2007, $5 million of which went to the construction of the nearly completed Eckstein Hall and the rest to scholarships.
