Jahangirnagar University (JU) authorities have finalised new names for four residential halls previously named after members of the Sheikh family.
Acting Registrar A B M Azizur Rahman confirmed the development on Friday morning.
He said the decisions were taken at Thursday’s syndicate meeting.
New names of the halls
- Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall renamed Sher-e-Bangla A K Fazlul Huq Hall
- Sheikh Russel Hall (10-storey) renamed Nawab Salimullah Hall
- Sheikh Hasina Hall renamed July Twenty-Four Awakening Hall
- Bangamata Fazilatunnesa Mujib Hall renamed Felani Khatun Hall
The renaming comes amid a broader review of campus nomenclature following last year’s political changes.
