Officially created in 1967, the NCSU Department of Computer
Science is not only one of the nation's first, it is also
recognized among the nation's largest, fastest growing &
venerable CS Departments. In 2005, our elite status will be
complemented by a move into one of the most technologically
advanced computer science teaching and research facilities
in the world.
 
In 2005, the NCSU Dept of Computer Science will move into
a new $41M, 210,000 sq ft teaching & research facility
located on Centennial
Campus. Co-located in the building will be the Department
of Electrical & Computer Engineering. The building's construction
will be paid for by state funds approved in a bond referendum
several years ago. Construction of this massive state-of-the-art
facility is scheduled to begin by year-end 2003, with the
official groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for October 24th,
2003.
NCSU's Board of Trustees has approved the Naming Rights plan,
which provides opportunities for both corporations and individuals
ranging from offices, labs, classrooms, conference rooms,
and common areas to the entire building. Consistent with university
guidelines, all named spaces require a minimum donation of
at least ½ the original construction cost of that space.
Sample naming opportunities are provided below.
The primary goal of the "naming rights" campaign
is to provide for growth in NCSU's endowment levels, which
rank far behind many of our peer institutions such as Virginia
Tech, Purdue and Georgia Tech. Per University guidelines,
50% of a qualifying donation must be allocated toward an "unrestricted"
endowment. The remainder can be added to an existing cash
fund or endowment, or it can be used to create a new endowment
in alignment with the donor's interests and the department's
most critical needs (professorships, graduate fellowships,
etc.). Multi-year pledges will be accepted. The "naming
rights" program essentially offers a unique multi-legacy
gift opportunity for the donor through the creation of a named
endowment and the honor of being recognized with a permanent
named space in the new building.
Sample Named Space Options
- Entire Building $20M
- Department / ½ Building (CSC's wing) $10M
- Glass Atrium (2) / Outdoor Terrace $1M - 1.5M each
- Large Lecture Halls (4 or more) $1M each
- Smaller Classrooms (numerous) $250K each
- Research Labs (numerous) $125K - $500K each
- Teaching Labs (numerous) $50K - $250K each
- Porches, Reception Areas, Lounges $100K - $125K each
- Conference Rooms (numerous) $25K -$300K each
- Faculty & Staff Offices $25K - $50K each
