In order to keep up with state laws and to better help first responders, several streets at UCF will be renamed while all buildings will received new, individual addresses.
About 20 of UCF’s streets will be renamed and all buildings on the main campus will be assigned individual addresses that will take effect May 5, following approval from Orange County, UCF says.
New laws require all state agencies to establish unique addresses for buildings in their property inventory. Some of the new road names were necessary because they were duplicated elsewhere in the county. The changes will will help first responders provide quicker assistance and will improve directions for deliveries and visitors, UCF says.
Previously, every building on the UCF main campus used a single address – 4000 Central Florida Blvd. – but now, each academic building, residence hall, retail establishment and other location has been assigned a numbered street address based on the closest roadway, UCF says.

Some of the new street names include Mensa Lane, Knights Victory Way, Home Run Court and Scholarship Drive
Several of the buildings will also get name changes, including the conversion of the name Mathematics & Physics Building to the Mathematical Sciences Building. Some of the names are more descriptive, such as the Commons becoming the Libra Community Center. Classroom Building 2 will receive a minor name change to Classroom Building II.
The street-name changes, which have been worked on for a year, will only affect the interior of the campus, UCF says. Roads entering the university will remain the same, as will names on regional campuses and in Central Florida Research Park.
