 Possibly anticipating the unfortunate nickname, Barnard president [[Deborah Spar]] announced in April [[2009]] that the building would be called "The Diana", specifically referencing the virgin huntress man-hater of classical lore. In any case, there already exists a [[Vagelos Center]] at Barnard. And "The Vag" nickname seems to have stuck.
