Get recognition content ready for your new building opening
A new gym or wing usually comes with a plan for displays, but the content behind them is easy to leave until the end. Rocket can help scope what moves from the old building, what gets added and who checks it, so the space opens with stories in it.

Why it matters
The building is on schedule but the content isn’t
Construction timelines get attention from everyone, while recognition content has no clear owner. The old trophy cases and plaques need a plan before move-out. Without one, the new lobby opens with a blank screen or empty walls.
Ideas for New Building Opening
Content from the old building
Inventory the plaques, boards and photos that need to move or be transcribed.
A dedication story
Profile the people and donors the building is named for.
Donor recognition for the project
Prepare names from the building campaign alongside existing donors.
Records for the new gym
Launch the record board with the new facility so it starts current.
Construction photos
Progress photos make a strong then-and-now section.
A first-week welcome
Plan an opening message and the first collection visitors see.

New Building Opening tips
Photograph old displays before move-out

Pick a smaller opening collection
Launch with a focused set and add the rest once the building is in use.
Name the content owner early
Someone other than the construction project lead should own the content.

Questions
New Building Opening questions
Rocket helps scope the collections you want on opening day, then enters the agreed content. Your team checks it before the building opens to visitors.

That’s your school’s call. Photographing and transcribing them first means the honors carry into the new space, whether or not the plaques move.
As soon as you have an opening date. Share it with Rocket so the content work can be scoped alongside the construction schedule.
