How do you pay for an EITC?


E. H. Price Classroom – West Wall (by umwoodr0)

Apparently, one way is to sell out.

This photo is from a classroom, E2-150, in the University of Manitoba’s shiny new Engineering and Information Technology Complex. Also known as the E. H. Price Lecture Theatre, the naming rights of this room were purchased by E. H. Price, a Winnipeg-based HVAC manufacturer. Since the opening of the EITC (or soon after), each of the named rooms in the building bore a plaque with the name of it’s sponsor. However, during the summer, “billboards” (for lack of a better term) were installed in this classroom.

I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come.

Click on the photo to see another photo of the E. H. Price classroom, as well as “The Vector Vista”, another overtly-sponsored space.

    I was slightly put off by the “Vector Vista” at first, but I guess I understand that they had to finance the building somehow.

    Billboards in classrooms, on the other hand, is somewhat more disturbing. I don’t envision a positive response when everyone gets a chance to see these.
