Naming Opportunities
NC State’s Board of Trustees has approved a naming rights policy that provides opportunities for both corporations and individuals to help support the academic and research mission of the department through major gift support. Naming rights not only serve to recognize the legacy of the donor, but they also help grow our endowment, providing a valuable source in perpetuity.
Qualifying contributions will be recognized with the naming of areas of Bureau of Mines, including offices, conference rooms, common areas or the entire building. Flexible giving options are available, including multi-year pledges as well as combined outright and deferred gifts.
University guidelines require that a qualifying donation be allocated toward an unrestricted endowment that provides funding to support the College of Sciences and the ongoing upkeep and renovation of the named space or building.
Building Naming Opportunities
In spring 2021, the newly renovated Bureau of Mines building, located in the center of North Campus, became the new hub for the College of Sciences administration. Located in this space are the Dean’s Office, Academic Affairs, Advancement, Finance and Administration, Human Resources, and Marketing and Communications. This building offers naming rights to advance the college’s efforts in academics and research in a meaningful way.
If you are interested in naming the Bureau of Mines building, please contact the Sciences Advancement Office at sciences-advancement@ncsu.edu or 919.515.3462.
