The Purdue University civil engineering building will be named for alumnus and donor Delon Hampton and his mother, Elizabeth Hampton.

The naming of the Delon and Elizabeth Hampton Hall of Civil Engineering is subject to approval on Friday's Board of Trustees meeting.

Delon Hampton, who has made a $7.5 million gift to the School of Civil Engineering, earned a master's degree in civil engineering from Purdue in 1958 and a doctorate, also in civil engineering, in 1961. He received an honorary degree from Purdue in 1994.
