A SHOWPIECE £600,000 resource centre set to open on a Durham City estate later this year will be called the Pelaw Centre.
Residents of Sherburn Road estate were asked to put forward names for the facility in Haig Crescent.
The centre will include meeting rooms, an information technology area, fitness suite, caf, creche and laundry.
It will be managed by a resident-led committee, which has been elected.
Three directors of Sherburn Road Community Action Partnership Mandy Raine, Harry Appleby and Kathy Brannan, will be joined by Gary Reavley and Nigel Dowd to form the management sub-committee.
They will report to the management committee of the partnership.
The centre has been built with cash from One NorthEast, the EU Regional Development Fund, and National Lottery Charities Board.
