It’s gone a half-century without any highfalutin’ name, but a new committee may recommend applying one to the new Arlington Career Center building.

Arlington School Board members on Jan. 25 are expected to appoint a naming committee that will look at potential monikers for the new Career Center, being built on the same South Arlington parcel where the current school has reigned since the 1960s.

(To get the ball rolling for the new committee: One wag, noting the pricey nature of the project, already has dubbed it “Taj Mahal Tech.”)

Former School Board member Barbara Kanninen is expected to lead the body, with representation pulled from students, staff, alumni and local civic associations.
