Wyoming State government works out of buildings located throughout the
state, but many are in Cheyenne. The buildings are maintained by the
State Building Commission, formerly named the Capitol Building
Commission.
Capitol Complex Building Names
As state government grew and additional buildings were built to
consolidate work spaces and move agencies and departments out of leased
space, it became increasingly confusing to refer to buildings within
what is now known as the Capitol Complex (the area around the Capitol
Building in Cheyenne). In the November 4, 1975 Capitol Building
Commission meeting, Governor Ed Herschler
suggested that the buildings be renamed in honor of the governor in
office at the time of their construction and the rest of the commission
agreed. As new buildings were built or acquired, the naming tradition
continued.
