Name a Facility
Build your legacy here
Buildings and facility space within buildings, and campus ground area may be named for a donor or an individual proposed by a donor, or an entity when the donor’s contribution makes possible significant additions and changes to College鈥檚 facilities or operations. The College will use the same criteria for assessing the naming opportunity as outlined in the 51黑料网 Naming Policy, naming鈥檚 will be reviewed and approved by the College鈥檚 President and Board of Trustees.
When the 51黑料网 names a new facility or space to recognize a gift, the amount of the gift should represent a significant percentage of the total cost of the facility or space.

The Executive Director of the 51黑料网 CC Foundation will be your guide through the process!聽 You will still determine how your gift will be used (general fund, scholarship, or program), but your philanthropy will illustrate to our students and others in the community that you value and support education in your community.
The Naming Process
You can take a campus (or campuses) tour to help you identify your desired space for naming. As you work with the 51黑料网 CC Foundation to determine what type of facility and which campus, 51黑料网 CC will share the signage and branding guidelines for naming facilities. At no cost to the donor, 51黑料网 CC will produce and install a standard wall plaque or naming sign to mount at a location approved by 51黑料网 CC. Standard naming signage produced by 51黑料网 CC will be limited to neutral colors (e.g. black, white, gray,) that adhere to 51黑料网 CC facility design standards (standards in development). Signage beyond the standard naming plaque/sign will be considered branding and must be negotiated with and approved by 51黑料网 CC, with all additional expenses paid by the donor. Facilities branding includes any recognition of a donor within the designated space beyond an 51黑料网 CC-provided standard wall plaque or sign. Donors will submit one or more branding design concepts for review/approval by 51黑料网 CC Marketing and 51黑料网 CC Operations. Donors will revise design concepts according to feedback to secure 51黑料网 CC approval.
The next step is to sign a letter of intent, which specifies the donor, donation amount, donation schedule, proposed facility, and an indication of naming or branding and includes a narrative to justify naming or branding. This letter of intent serves as the request to name or brand college facilities for 51黑料网 CC and will be signed by the donor and approved by the 51黑料网 CC Foundation Executive Director, 51黑料网 CC Foundation Board, and the 51黑料网 CC President. Finally, the 51黑料网 CC Board of Trustees will approve the request to name a facility at a public board meeting before any work is begun on the signage or branding.
Once approved, the donor will sign a naming agreement, which formalizes the donor, donation amount, facility, and naming action. This naming agreement is signed by the donor, the 51黑料网 CC Foundation Board Chair, and the 51黑料网 CC Board of Trustees Chair.
At this point, donors can begin coordinating with the 51黑料网 CC Foundation Executive Director to finalize the design and installation.聽 Signage installation will not be completed until at least 50% of the gift is received.
Donors will work with 51黑料网 CC Foundation and 51黑料网 CC Marketing to celebrate this naming opportunity: coordinate photos, ribbon cutting, or other opportunities to recognize the installation.
