Help name key pathways at our Bundoora campus
We’re inviting staff, students and alumni to help name the main walkways and service lanes in the central area of La Trobe’s Bundoora campus.
As part of upcoming improvements to campus signage, we’re introducing names and colour coding for key pathways to make it easier for people to navigate and find their way around. Many of these routes are widely used but currently unnamed.
This short survey asks for your preferences on proposed names and gives you the option to suggest your own. It should take around five minutes to complete, and your feedback will help shape a clear and consistent naming system for the campus.
Survey results will be shared once the naming is finalised, and your input will play an important role in improving the campus experience for everyone.
Central Area Path Naming – Bundoora Campus FAQs
What is this survey for?
This survey is asking for your input to help name the main walkways and service lanes in the central area of the Bundoora campus.
We are improving campus signage to make it easier to get around. As part of this, we’re planning to name walkways that don’t currently have names and introduce colour coding to help with navigation.
What paths are being named, and how will they be named?
We’re focusing on the main network of walkways across campus, including both ground-level and raised walkways that connect buildings.
- Walkways will be called “Ways”
- Raised walkways will include “Upper” in the name (for example, Agora Way Upper)
Service roads (used by vehicles and sometimes pedestrians) will be called “Lanes” instead of “Drive.” For example, Chemistry Drive would become Chemistry Lane.
What kind of names are you looking for?
We’re looking for names that:
- Help people find their way around
- Feel meaningful to the La Trobe community
- Fit together as a clear and consistent set
For example:
- Walkways could be named after nearby locations or destinations
- Lanes might follow themes like academic disciplines (e.g. Chemistry, Biology, Physics), or you can suggest another theme
We’ve included some suggested name options in the survey, but you can also propose your own ideas.
What about naming other parts of campus?
Naming for areas outside the central campus (beyond Science Drive and the Moat) will happen later.
There will be future surveys for new streets and spaces as they are developed under the University City Masterplan.
Indigenous place names
Indigenous place names are not included in this survey as selection of names requires a dedicated cultural engagement process and will be undertaken separately in partnership with Indigenous Peoples, ensuring names are developed respectfully, appropriately and with cultural authority. The La Trobe University City Masterplan includes a commitment to work collaboratively to embed Indigenous knowledge, language and cultural narratives throughout the evolving campus and Indigenous place names will form an important component of the University's broader place-making, interpretation and cultural recognition.
