The North Carolina State University, University Archives Reference Collection, Campus Building Namesakes Collection contains websites from 2017-2024 documenting student calls to rename campus buildings at NC State. This has been an evolving situation and the collection of documentation in this collection continues as more information becomes available.
Since the 2010’s and reflecting a nationwide trend, some NC State University students have called for the renaming of campus buildings. Specifically, students have objected to buildings named after people that had ties to slavery or white supremacy. According to NC State’s Review of Facility Namings for Removal Policy, “NC State considers the removal of a name from buildings, spaces, streets, monuments, and other named spaces on campus when strong evidence exists that the name is in opposition to the current mission and values of NC State.” This has been an evolving situation and the collection of documentation in this collection continues as more information becomes available.
This collection contains websites from the student-run NC State newspaper, the Technician. These archived website articles are from 2017-2024 and they document student calls for building renaming on campus.
