This Council-approved process is governed by the Policy for the Honorary Naming, Naming and Renaming of NWU Entities (approved by Council in 2023).
According to the policy, "entities" include:
- a physical entity such as a building, residence, lecture hall, laboratory, or a library;
- an external space such as a courtyard, walkway, or a garden;
- an organisational unit such as a centre, institute, or a unit;
- an academic position such as a research unit or research chair;
- an award such as a scholarship;
- an event or activity such as a concert or public lecture, and
- any other item that the Honorary Awards Committee deems worthy of recommendation for honorary naming or naming.
Honorary naming, naming and renaming can be considered where a person, organisation or company has made a significant contribution or rendered an exceptional service of enduring value to the NWU, the community or the country.
Consequently, there are new buildings and spaces that are increasingly becoming landmarks and centres of delivery of our programmes and services. Therefore, the NWU Council and the University Management Committee (UMC) have resolved to initiate a process for the honorary naming, naming and renaming of new unnamed buildings and spaces. For example, some of these buildings are currently named and known as Building A, G3, etc.
