Name the Neighborhoods in 1800 Sherman

The situation: you’re a staff member in 1800 Sherman and receive a Teams message from a colleague asking, “Where are you sitting today?” You look around and realize you’re not sure how to answer other than the first or second floor and the specific office or cube number. To ease this struggle and give the various spaces more character, we invite all staff to name the six sections that make up our space in 1800 Sherman. This is your chance to leave a lasting mark on our workplace. See below for details on the process.

How It Works

Schematic of 1800 Sherman 1 and 2 floorSubmit Your Ideas: We invite you to submit your creative suggestions for each neighborhood via this Microsoft Form. The form is open for submissions through 11:59 p.m. on Friday, March 7.

Selection Process: Once the submission period closes, the Staff Advisory Group and the Senior Leadership Team will review the entries and whittle down the ideas to a shortlist of the most compelling names for each neighborhood.

Voting: In March, staff will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite names from the shortlisted options. This is your chance to have a say in the final naming decision and help shape the identity of our new spaces.

We encourage everyone across Northwestern IT to participate and share their best ideas. Let's come together to create names that reflect our community spirit and the dynamic nature of our workplace.
