When I worked at The Field Museum in Chicago, I learned some of our naming rights were permanent. Which, for an old institution, leads to some problems -- how does one honor new donors (and raise new money) when all the choice opportunities were used up seven or eight decades ago? The solution was to create separate naming opportunities for the physical space and for the exhibit inside it. Thus, you had the Smith Meteorite Collection (the exhibit) inside Jones Hall (the space). (All names changed to protect the innocent, and not-so-innocent.) This reached a peak of silliness with the Smith Study Center (a section of a new exhibit) inside the Old Man Jones Hall (a physical space built and named several decades earlier) which was now part of the Adams Wing of Ecology (a major renovation spread over several old "halls"). I believe the Development folks had learned their lesson, and all the new names referring to exhibits were indeed temporary, but the exact deal I couldn't tell you.
