Name our spaces. Honor the pioneers.

Instead of generic room names, let’s name Vijigi’s spaces after pioneers who inspire bold thinking, fast execution, and engineering excellence.

Why we’re naming these spaces

Every space on this campus will shape how we think, build, debate, test, and recover. Instead of calling them Meeting Room 1 or Lab 2, we want these spaces to carry the names of people whose work moved engineering forward.

Honor builders

Celebrate engineers, scientists, and leaders whose ideas and courage moved humanity forward.

Inspire teams

Give every corner of the campus a story that motivates, challenges, and reminds us what is possible.

Create identity

Build a campus culture that values legacy, learning, technical excellence, and long-term thinking.

Everyday spaces for reviews, decisions, documentation, mentoring, and program momentum.

Build, test, and validation spaces

Advanced Engineering Zone

High-intensity environments where systems are simulated, wired, tested, debugged, and made real.

Recharge, connect, and reflect

Campus Life

Spaces for energy, informal connection, fresh air, and the recovery that serious engineering work needs.

What kind of names are we looking for?

Nominate people whose work, leadership, and impact continue to shape engineering and beyond.

Look for people whose work carries a story worth putting on a wall: bold builders, first-principles thinkers, technical rebels, institution builders, and pioneers whose execution changed what others believed was impossible.
