Hi, Tammy!
In addition to what Tracy and Melody have offered, I would suggest you also consider how to use your named spaces/campus memorials tracking project to predict, collect and maintain an "inventory" of buildings, rooms, spaces, colleges, academic chairs or professorships, etc. which could be prime for a future naming opportunity.
We've been developing this for some of our clients who are converting to the Slate Advancement CRM.
By employing various searching capabilities, fundraisers should be able to search by type, location, funding level necessary, etc. as a way to work with prospects who may have an interest in a certain space or to want to know "what's available" for a potential gift range.
Also identfied as important is the ability to "hold" a space while a fundraiser works with the prospect via a proposal/opportunity to fund such a named space or campus memorial, then update it when funded or "release" it to make it available again for other potential donors.
Hope this helps! Good luck with your project!
Dave
