Need ideas for building nickname

We are in the process of building a new structure at our church camp that will house camp counselor's and the camp nurse. And during the off season will be used for couple's or pastor's retreats. We can't really call it the nurse's/counselor's cabin (too long). We've been calling it the 'new building' but soon it won't be 'new' anymore. The old counselor's cabin was nicknamed the 'Slave Cave' but it was small and dark so the name fit. This new building will be bigger and nicer so I'm trying to think of a new, clever, name for this building. My mind is blank though..any ideas?

When I was in high school in the late '90s, some of the hallways at the school were named chronologically. When I started, there was a hall called the New Wing, and one called the Old New Wing (which was called New before the new one), in addition to The Old Part Of The Building. During that time, a large two-story addition was built, which was called the New Building. Since then, there have been at least two major additions; I don't know what they're called. When I visit to light a show, I seem to call things what they were called back then: I still call it The New Wing (the 1989 addition) even though there are at least three newer wings.

Also at the school, the theatre's storage is in a large damp mostly-unfloored space beneath/beside parts of the building (it's on a hill). It's always been known as Hell, quite a fitting name back then at least. "Go to Hell and get X" has been said many times, and naturally quite surprising the first time a person heard it.

Not sure if there was any useful point to that, but there you go.

Being larger and nicer, you could call it the Slave Mansion to give a nod to the older structure.

Ha the Slave Mansion, I like that!
And I know what you mean about calling things by their old name. Our house, before we remodeled had pink stucco on the outside of it. To this day even though it has since been resided we still call it the 'Pink House' LOL

Our teens used to meet in a modular unit behind the church. We called it the "Chateau in the Swamp". I mean we called it that from the pulpit.
