The Big Rename

Looks like we're about to have a bunch of renames here.

I think the renames will be:

  • Jordan Hall -> Biology Building
  • Jordan Avenue Parking Garage -> East Parking Garage
  • Jordan River -> Campus River
  • Jordan Avenue -> ??? (IU has to work with the city on this)

And then all of these will be renamed again when someone shows up with a big check.

This news just came out yesterday, and I'm not sure when things will be physically changed, so I'm not making any changes yet.

Took a first shot at this and moved the Hall and River. No article on the parking garage, and the street hasn't changed yet.

The street is now Eagleson avenue. (I did a rename and a quickie edit there.) --Jkonrath (talk) 15:20, 31 January 2022 (EST)
