Room naming at the University of Warwick is messy and inconsistent. This page is an attempt to outline the various systems used. It does not attempt to outline the many unique and individual names that are also used across campus.

"Prefix system"

The most common system for room naming is to name rooms in the following format 

<prefix><floor>.<room number>

The prefix usually refers to a specific building, but can sometimes refer to a specific wing of a building. In these cases, the room name may not be unique. The ground floor of buildings are usually labelled "0" with subsequent floors labelled by their numerical digit. Room numbers are typically padded with a leading "0" to two digits. Some rooms have a letter after their room number.

Some buildings and rooms use a similar prefix-based format: 

<prefix><room number>

Other slight variations exist.

List of prefixes

This list does not include accomodation blocks, although those use a similar prefix system.

Prefix Building Notes
A Gibbet Hill Academic Building
Millburn House Used in the side of the building closest to iHouse.
Science Block A (Engineering Building) Rooms are named in the standard format but without the ".".[1][2]
Social Science FME
Zeeman Building Used in the south-west portion of the building.
AC Argent Court
B Gibbet Hill Academic Building
Science Block B (Science Concourse) Rooms on floors other than floors two and three with this prefix in this block are named without the ".".[3]
Social sciences B and C
Zeeman Building Used in the south-east portion of the building, and for all rooms on the third floor.
BSR Biomedical Research Building Just used in this building for BSR1 and BSR2.
Gibbet Hill Academic Building This building contains BSR2-BSR6.
C Gibbet Hill Academic Building Some rooms on the first floor in this part of the building are named in the format "C1.XX.X" where each "X" is a digit.
Science Block C
Social Sciences B and C
Zeeman Building Used in the north-west portion of the building.
CMR University House On the campus map, rooms in this building are named with a space between the prefix and the floor number.[4]
CS Computer Science Building Within the building, room names are often given without the prefix or ".".
D Biomedical Research Building Rooms are named in the standard format but without the ".".[5]
Science Block D (Engineering Building) The campus map uses the standard format but, within the School of Engineering, the "." is usually omitted.[2]
Social Sciences D and E
Zeeman Building Used in the north-east portion of the building.
E Biomedical Research Building Rooms are named in the standard format but without the ".".[6]
Science Block E
Social Sciences D and E
ESB Science Block F (Engineering Building) Used for the three Engineering Build Space rooms. Unusually, the room numbers for these rooms are all given to one digit, not two.
F Millburn House Rooms with this prefix in Milburn House are named in the format "F<number>". "F" likely stands for "first floor" as all rooms with this prefix are found on the first floor (with rooms on the ground floor using a corresponding "G" prefix).
Science Block F The campus map uses the standard format but, within the School of Engineering, the "." is usually omitted.[2]
FAB Faculty of Arts Building The Faculty of Arts Building has a "mezzanine" floor which is labeled "M0" in place of a number.
G Millburn House Rooms with this prefix in Milburn House are named in the format "G<number>". "G" likely stands for "ground floor" as all rooms with this prefix are found on the ground floor (with rooms on the first floor using a corresponding "F" prefix).
Science Block G Rooms with this prefix in this block are named without the ".".[7] The basement floor (as determined by the campus map) has the floor number "0", the ground floor has the floor number "1", and the first floor has the floor number "2".
GLT Gibbet Hill Academic Building Used for GLT1, GLT2, GLT3 and GLT4.
H Humanities Building
Humanities Extension (Psychology)
IBR Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Building The Interdisciplinary Biomedical Research Building has a basement floor, which uses "B" in place of a number in room names.
IH Institute House Other than IH0.01, all rooms in this building named with the prefix-room method use the format "IH0.01<letter>".
IHX iHouse
IMC International Manufacturing Centre
JX Junction
L Engineering Management Building
Library Used for L2.07, L2.22 and L2.23. All three of these rooms are named without the "L" or "." on the campus map.[8]
Mechanochemical Cell Biology Building The ground floor of this building, as given by the campus map, is labelled as floor "1", while the first floor is "2".[9]
Science Block E Used for L3, L4 and L5.
LIB Library Used for LIB1 and LIB2.
M Gibbet Hill Academic Building This part of the Gibbet Hill Academic Building has a basement, which is labelled with "B" in room names.
Radcliffe House Used both for M1-M4 on the ground floor, and in the conventional way on the first floor.
Senate House Used for some rooms on the third floor above the main entrance.
MAS Materials and Analytical Sciences Building The ground floor (as viewed by the campus map) is given the floor number "1" with further floors continuing the pattern.
MB Mathematical Sciences Building The ground floor (as viewed by the campus map) is given the floor number "1" with further floors continuing the pattern.
MD Medical Teaching Centre
MR University House Unusually, the room numbers for these rooms are all given to one digit, not two.
University House Annex Just used for MR1.9.
MS Zeeman Building Rooms named with this prefix do not have a floor number. Used for the main five lecture theatres in the building. In some Warwick systems, the third floor "B3.XX" rooms are referred to as "MS.B3.XX" or "MS_B3.XX", but this is decreasingly common.[10]
OC The Oculus
P Physics Building The ground floor (as viewed by the campus map) is given the floor number "1" with further floors continuing the pattern.
PS Physical Sciences Building
R IIPSI Building On the campus map, some rooms in this building on the first, second and third floors use the format "R:<floor number><room number>".[11]
Ramphal Building
Library The computer rooms R0.39 and R0.41 are located on the ground floor of the library.
RIL Riley Court Rooms on the ground floor of Riley Court use the unique format "RIL.G.<room code>". Other portions of the building are currently part of the University of Warwick Science Park so do not have standard room names.
S Engineering Management Building
Social Sciences North and South
SH Senate House
SMR Senate House Used uniquely for SMR 1.1
T Clinical Trial Unit
UH University House
W Westwood House Rooms are named in the standard format but without the ".".[12]
WA Avon Building
WCE Centre for Lifelong Learning Building
WE New Education Building On the campus map, rooms in this building are named with a space between the prefix and the floor number.[13]
WT Westwood Teaching Centre
