Naming Opportunities
Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center
Located in the heart of campus, the Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center serves as a touchpoint for alumni, fostering connections between current alumni and alumni to come.
Described by its namesake donors as a “gateway to the future,” the nearly 30,000-square-foot facility has been described by its architect as a building within a park. Approximately 33,000 square feet of outdoor spaces envelop the center, which is the first campus facility that is solely designated to accommodate rentals for meetings, weddings, conferences and other events.
The alumni center features a 450-seat ballroom, a conference center with meeting rooms that seat up to 45 people, a lounge area, office space for alumni relations staff and outdoor space modified to support special event logistics and set up.
The following naming opportunities for the Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center are available to donors who want to show their support. The minimum gift amounts shown below may be pledged over a number of years. Donors may choose to permanently endow their gifts for long-term support of alumni relations programming, or they may allow their gifts to be fully expended.
All gifts received through these naming opportunities will be used to support the Davidson-Gundy Alumni Center. This may include the purchase of equipment and software, funding for visiting scholars and underwriting support for special exhibitions, performances or speakers.
The naming of these spaces is subject to approval by the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System.
