August 29, 2005 • @CSUN • California State University, Northridge 7 Ten Cal State Northridge Buildings are Renamed

isitors to Cal State Northridge will notice V name changes on ten of CSUN’s buildings. The Student Services Building is to be renamed in honor of donors Mary and Jack Bayramian (story, page 1). In the other cases, since the university’s ambitious construction program has made it necessary for departments to move a number of times, the names of the other nine buildings have become inconsistent with the buildings’ occupants and functions. Meetings to plan the change to mostly botanical names began in October, involving in the process the occupants of the nine buildings and representatives from all university divisions. Faculty and division rep- resentatives began meeting at that point to develop a plan for a smooth transition through effective commu- nication of the name changes to the campus and community, Sequoia including electronic and Hall print media, signage, maps, technology services and other methods. The CSU Chancellor’s Office gives campus presidents the authority to approve tem- Sierra porary namings for facilities Center or properties reflecting natural or geographic features, or Sierra reflecting a traditional theme Hall of the university. The ten buildings affected by the name changes include the Business and Economics Building, the Engineering Building, the Kinesiology Building, the Music Building, Science Building 1, Science Building 2, Science Building 3, Science Building 4, the Faculty Office Building and the Student Services Building. ᭿
