Room naming systems
From Warwick Wiki
Room naming at the University of Warwick is messy and inconsistent. This page is an attempt to outline the various systems used.
"Standard" 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 labeled "0". The FAB has a mezanine floor which is labaled "M". Other than these, floors are labaled by their numerical digit. S
ome rooms have a letter after their room number.
For some rooms, the floor and "." are omitted.
List of prefixes
This list does not include accomodation blocks, although those use a similar prefix system.
| Prefix | Building | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| AC | Argent Court | |
| G | Millburn House | Rooms with this prefix are named in the format "G<number>". "G" likely stands for "ground" as all rooms with this prefix are found on the ground floor (with rooms on the first floor using a corresponding "F" prefix). |
| IH | Institute House | Other than IH0.01, all rooms in this building named with the prefix-room method use the format "IH0.01<letter>". |
| L | Engineering Management Building | |
| S | Engineering Management Building | |
| W | Westwood House | Rooms in this building are named in the format "W0<room number><optional letter>".[1] |
| 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.[2] |
