4 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Primary drivers: Make wayfinding intuitive. Leverage/conform to Australian precedence/common practice for naming building levels. Unite level and room numbers taking reference from hotels and apartment buildings. Create a standardised system for use across campus. Allow for future growth/change. Considerations: Communication of hierarchy who do we need to talk to and how much do they need to know? Balance between systems management and efficient wayfinding communications. Integration with other university systems e.g. timetabling / how many digits can we work with? Complimentary to the agreed external system. 004 Part 05 Naming Strategy Internal

5 INTRODUCTION HOW TO BUILD A ROOM NUMBER The current timetabling systems used by the University allow for a maximum of 5 digits per room to be allocated. Technical considerations: Levels can be either 1 or 2 digits (we don t add a prefix). Front of house room numbers are always 2 digits, starting at number one (never zero), and include a prefix of zero to numbers less than 10 to ensure they are always 2 digits. The total number of digits for a front of house room code (level and room) should be 3 or 4 characters long. Back of house rooms can either be numbered the same as the adjacent room with the addition of the suffix X or they can use the next consecutive number. This fifth space is also an effective backup system, should any tenancy/room be further divided than what can be predicted today, alpha characters can be employed e.g. 1207A and 1207B. However alpha characters should not be used in lieu of good planning and should not feature in any current plans. Part 05 Naming Strategy Internal 005
