If you think corporate names on buildings/lecture rooms are examples of university pimping, stay away from business schools (although you probably would anyway). In North America, most of the top business schools are named after some large private donor, and the rooms often have corporate sponsorship. My school at U of T was the Rotman school (after a rediculously wealthy industrialist/entrepreneur/philanthropist), and I think every single room was named via corporate sponsorship (eg: CIBC room, CP room). The funny thing is, no one ever referred to the rooms by their corporate names, but rather simply by the room number.

Our lecture theatres displayed the height of imagination, being named Lecture Theatre 1, Lecture Theatre 2, Lecture Theatre 3... No sponsorship there.

You can imagine the fun I'm going to have - I'm going to have my laptop (which is in Austria being repaired) sent directly to my uni.the welsh names are a ****ing joke, it's not as if anyone actually speaks welsh. still, one the birds in our block still reckons the funniest thing ever was me and andy (a fellow cockney) trying to pronounce all the welsh names.
I'm gonna have to tell an Austrian (who had difficulty spelling 'newton' - my laptop's old password) how to spell 'Neuadd Mary Williams'.
Such joy.Comment

Obviously, my university needs lessons in corporate whoring. All UM does is sell names and phone numbers. And shill every Coke product ever made (exclusively, I might add. You can't buy non-coke brands on campus.)"In the beginning was the Word. Then came the ******* word processor." -Dan Simmons, HyperionComment

Actually my private highschool relies on donations from lots of wealthy people (mostly jews) from around the world.
Several walls are just covered with plates.
There is no thing in the school that isn't donated by someone.
Infact, almost every second brick in the wall was donated by someone.
