Commission recommends renaming UNCG’s Administration Drive to 'Women's College Way'
Summary
The commission voted 8–0 to recommend that City Council approve UNC Greensboro's request to rename Administration Drive on campus to Women's College Way in recognition of the university's women's college legacy; the change affects university‑addressed buildings only and will be considered by council on Dec. 16, 2025.
Chris Andrews of the planning department presented an application from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro to rename Administration Drive (a campus street) to "Women's College Way" to honor UNCG’s women's college era. Staff recommended approval and noted the change affects only university buildings on campus; no private property owners would be affected.
Commissioners and several audience members who identified themselves as UNCG alumni expressed support. Staff said that because the street lies entirely on campus the commission’s role is a recommendation to city council; a public hearing before council was tentatively scheduled for Dec. 16, 2025. The commission voted 8–0 to forward a favorable recommendation.
Why it matters: The change is largely ceremonial and historical but will alter official addresses for the affected university buildings and require city council approval.
Next step: The City Council will consider the recommendation at its Dec. 16 public hearing.
