Donor-Named and Memorial Sites on Campus

As is the tradition on many campuses, the University of Puget Sound venerates individuals who have had a special relationship to the college by naming a building, room, or other space or object in their honor.  From the very first building constructed at the university's current location and dedicated in 1924 to C.H. Jones, to the most recent addition to campus of a residence hall named to honor Charles Garnet Trimble, monuments across campus evidence Puget Sound's commemoration of those persons elemental in the growth and development of the university.

Buildings & Other Campus Spaces

Those names most familiar are probably connected to highly visible campus spaces such as academic buildings, residence halls, athletic facilities, and fountains.

Other Campus Spaces

Named Rooms

Many classrooms, auditoriums, seminar rooms, and other meeting rooms on campus are named in honor of a benefactor, favorite professor, or beloved friend of the university.

Other Named Objects

Dozens of trees, shrubs, benches, and other objects across campus have been designated in honor of a person or group that made a difference at the university.
