The renaming of multiple buildings at the University of Cape Town (UCT) has been officially endorsed by the UCT council. The renaming includes the following updates:

, The committee responsible for suggesting building name changes, previously known as the Naming of Buildings Committee, will undergo a name change itself, following its recommendations to the council.

‘Virtual spaces have become an integral part of teaching, learning and research activities at UCT. The committee’s work will be informed by the African identity of the university, and by buildings, physical spaces and virtual spaces bearing names that create a more inclusive, diverse, multilingual and multicultural learning environment.

The university has also introduced new members to its council, including the newly appointed council chairperson, Norman Arendse. Arendse, a senior advocate actively practising in Cape Town and Johannesburg, will serve in this role for the current term until 30 June 2024.
