Chapter 12.

Effective Date: 09/01/2010

General Operations

12.1 Naming of Campus Facilities

All facilities will be formally named by the Board of Control.

  1. Facilities may be named according to function.
  2. Minor facilities may be named on the basis of location.
  3. Facilities may be named in honor of persons who have achieved prominence in their fields of endeavor and who have been publicly known nationally for their accomplishments in their fields and service to the University. Persons so honored must be deceased; exceptions may be made for major donors. Where possible, functional names should be continued as a secondary identifier.
  4. Facilities may be named for donors of private funds for the support of a University program where the gift pays for approximately 50% of the cost of the facility. If the gift is $5,000,000 or more, it may provide less than the 50%.
  5. The renaming of facilities is at the discretion of the Board.
