The Arthur M. Blank Center for Stuttering Education and Research established last year in Austin, Texas will now expand to Atlanta with a $12.25 million grant from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation.

The center, currently operating at 1605 Chantilly Drive N.E., will eventually be housed inside a new pediatric hospital at North Druid Hills Road and I-85, projected to open in 2025. The foundation donated $200 million to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta for the new hospital, which will bear his name.

Like the original center in Austin, the Atlanta center will treat those who stutter and do research on stuttering; something Blank understands well. “I’ve been a stutterer my entire life,” said Blank, 79, a philanthropist, co-founder of Home Depot and owner of the Atlanta Falcons.
