OOC note, since the question arose in narration in Milliways last night: As far as I'm concerned, the Lambda Complex at Black Mesa was named by a graduate of Case Western Reserve University. There used to be a core curriculum option for CWRU students called the Lambda Core (as opposed to the Case Core or the Western Reserve Core). It was mostly about providing quantitative and mathematical skills to liberal arts students. I'm declaring that whoever named Lambda Complex at Black Mesa did so as something of a joke in honor of their alma mater (although they were probably a Case Core graduate themselves) once they saw that the other areas of the facility were being named after letters of the alphabet.

But there was definitely at least one Case graduate at Black Mesa back in the late 1980s, and that's where the complex name came from- and where all the lambdas after came from, as far as I'm concerned.
