In spring 2008, the University of Alberta requested to the City of Edmonton's naming committee that the station be renamed "Enterprise Square" after the university's downtown campus which moved into the former Bay building in 2007. However the request was denied in June before the university appealed the decision in August 2008.[4] On January 28, 2009, the city approved to rename the station "Bay/Enterprise Square" as a compromise.[5]
