15.3. Naming of Campus Facilities

All facilities would generally be formally named by the Board of Control within five years following completion of construction, except that at least one significant academic facility and one significant non-academic facility may remain unnamed (although identified with a functional or location name).

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 and for past presidents of the University. 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.
