How are places and buildings named at UT System institutions?
The UT System Board of Regents approves naming at UT System institutions.
- Buildings can be named in honor of individuals who have made major gifts to the universities.
- Excepting paseos, walks and paths are to be named after Texas flora.
- Excepting existing roads and streets, new roads and streets are to be named after Texas places such as cities, counties and natural areas.
- Names cannot duplicate the name of existing city roads or streets in order to reduce confusion and facilitate use of Internet mapping programs.
- Texas place names cannot be used when the place was named for a person, living or deceased.
- Garages and parking lots will be named based upon the name of the road or street from which they are accessed.
