Board pulls Innovation Center naming from consent agenda for further discussion
Summary
The board removed a proposed name for the district’s new Innovation Center from the consent agenda and asked staff to return with expanded branding options, including variants that emphasize the facility’s educational mission.
Trustees on Sept. 2 removed the proposed name and branding for the new Canyons Innovation Center from the consent agenda and asked staff to return with additional branding options and legal clearance.
Board member Mrs. Oakes (first name used in transcript) said the district wants a name and identity that convey the center’s educational purpose and competitiveness with similar regional programs. She asked staff to explore alternatives, including variants that incorporate “EyePoint” or “The Point,” and to return at a future meeting with marketing options and trademark checks.
Administration confirmed the facility will be available to all district students and will house CTE/C‑Tech programs, employer partnerships, entrepreneurship and other workforce‑focused programming. The board did not take a final vote on naming; trustees instructed staff to bring refined options for board consideration at an upcoming business meeting.
