UPDATE | YSU grad donates $1M for multimedia center

YOUNGSTOWN — Don Constantini, a Youngstown State University graduate, is donating $1 million toward construction of a multimedia center on the east side of Stambaugh Stadium.

Constantini is the founder of Falcon Transportation and Comprehensive Logistics Co, Austintown. He graduated from Youngstown University in 1966 with a bachelor's in business administration.

"Youngstown State is the gem of the entire Mahoning Valley region," Constantini said. "I am happy to be able to support an institution that continues to positively impact the lives of thousands of people every year."

The Don Constantini Multimedia Center will house classrooms and laboratories for the university's communications department and game-day activities for all Stambaugh Stadium events.

Work on the project is expected to begin after the 2016 football season and be ready for the fall 2017 season.

"We want to thank Don for his ongoing generosity in support of the university and its students," President Jim Tressel said.
