How about “Rest” Room…
I will pay a $100 if I can name a room in in perpetuity
If they give the opportunity to buy room names I promise I will crowd-fund one of them and name it “Roomy McRoomface”

I’d suggest having the names map to the grid system proposed elsewhere on Talk. A classroom starting with “A” would be on the north end while one starting with “B” would be close, but further south.
That way, the name of the classroom would also be a hint as to its location, without needing to determine if the “Pluto” classroom was a planet(oid) or Disney reference.

How about naming it after a person who pays for it? We can auction…who ever wins would pay and name it as he/she wishes (no profanity)
That might be a good idea after all its a little extra funds to the space and a little recognition for the donator. Plus I have been saving up…

Bob, Jim, Fred…
We could do a theme, if you wanted. “Batman, Superman, Spiderman, the Hulk…” or “Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, Gimli…”
If we want to name them in order we can always go with “Al, Bob, Carl,” etc. Not only would we never run out of names but keeping the names short would save time printing signs.

Note: Fairly off topic. Regarding taxes.
We should be good as long as we make the things we sell.
From the internets (YMMV):
Generally, a nonprofit may generate income on a tax free basis if the income-generating activity is directly related to its exempt purpose.
However, income-generating activity may be subject to unrelated business income tax, or UBIT, at the corporate tax rate if the activity is unrelated to the nonprofit’s exempt purposes and it is regularly carried on. Specific exclusions exist for certain types of activities, spelled out in Internal Revenue Code Section 513(a).
The question of whether income-generating activity is related or unrelated to the nonprofit’s exempt purpose is determined based on the particular facts and circumstances of each case and is based on the nonprofit’s exempt purpose, as stated in its corporate charter and application for tax exemption. The size and extent of the activity, as well as the nature and extent of the organization’s exempt purposes, may be considered. For example, if a nonprofit whose purpose is to train incarcerated individuals in the arts puts on an art exhibit, revenue collected from selling tickets to the exhibit would not be considered unrelated business income. However, selling T-shirts and candy to fundraise would be unrelated business income since selling T-shirts is unrelated to the purpose of providing arts training to incarcerated individuals. This is one main reason why a nonprofit should pay close attention to the purpose language it includes in its tax-exempt application.
To be taxable, the income-generating activity must also be regularly carried on. In looking at this factor, the frequency and continuity of the activity would be considered. If a similar for-profit company engages in an activity such as selling T-shirts year round, selling T-shirts for a one-week fundraising effort would not constitute a regularly carried on activity.

Expanding on what Ken is saying. One thing to keep in mind is our Unrelated Income income is small compared to our revenue/dues.
Want snooze on the topic: Publication 598 (01/2017), Tax on Unrelated Business Income of Exempt Organizations

That’s like someone asking where the “conference room” is and giving them directions like “go down this hallway and make a left at Stan”

A different take:
- Personal Exemption
- Standard Deduction
- Charitable Contribution
- 401K
- 403B
- IRA
- ROTH IRA
My company uses Texas themes by floor. sports teams on the first floor, cities on the second, bodies of water on the third, and moneuments on the third (like NASA and the Alamo). I’d suggest something kind of like this, but using local geography only, and orient it by cardinal directions.
So the classrooms on the north side would be named Denton, Frisco, McKinney and the like, while stuff in the central area could be Addison, Fort Worth, Lewisville, etc. South could be Oak Cliff, Mansfield, Bishop Arts, and all that fun stuff. Or maybe have it labeled with the “back” of the building (long side) as “North” and the main lobby entrance as the “south” side. The Lobby could be just calld “35” since it’s the way we all get there.
