Saint Mary's College announced Saturday it's receiving the largest private gift ever in its history to renovate Science Hall.

St. Mary's president Carol Ann Mooney announced the combined $10 million gift from philanthropists Mary Ann and Clayton Mathile and their daughter Jennifer Methile Prikkel, a graduate of the school.

Clayton Mathile hopes the gift will inspire future female scientists.

A timetable for the new renovations has not yet been established.
