Off topic - renaming MSU buildings

[viverlibre]

I recently heard they are renaming the Carpenter Engineering Building to a new big alumni doner. I have big issues with this. A new building would be fine but Carpenter is a Historic Landmark. An icon of MSU engineering and forever cast into the heart and soul of MSU especially an engineering students that have come thru. 100+ years of Carpenter history flushed. Just name a room or lab after the new doner, leave the buliding along. So how long before we rename McCain Engineering or Lee Hall? Just get a big enough check? Don't like it at all.

How does the board feel about renaming buildings.

IDK, outside of a few nerds, most of us didn't know there a Carpenter Engineering building on campus.

So which program did you finish in? More MSU students and alumni know about Carpenter than probably any other building outside of Lee. One of the historic buildings on the drill field.

In case you didn't know, MSU largest (around 5,000 eng students) and one of most respected programs is engineering in academia and industry - it is a big deal. Carpenter is also one of most historic buildings on campus and a National Historic Landmark. Many of us spent a considerable part of our lives in that building.

Per others comments, they can't do any major structural work to building either due to the historic cataloging of the building.
