C. The Project Team shall give particular attention to assuring all sub consultants receive and use the approved room number layout and any subsequent changes for all Drawings and schedules.
D. All rooms, including building service rooms, are assigned a room number according to the CSU Room Numbering Standard:
1. Room numbers are three digits with the first digit corresponding to the building’s floor level. Floor number 1 shall be the lowest most level entered at grade or one–half flight above grade.
a. Exceptions:
i. Basement numbers shall have three digits running from 001 to 099.
ii. Buildings with more than ten levels above ground shall use five digits for the room number, with the first two digits indicating the floor level.
b. For example:
i. Basement 001 to 099
ii. 1st floor 100 to 199
iii. 2nd floor 200 to 299
iv. 10th floor 1000 to 9999
2. Start at the main entrance. Room numbering shall begin at the main entrance to a floor, and each floor shall be numbered similarly.
3. Numbers should be reserved for future room divisions.
4. The room numbers on both sides shall increment as appropriate so rooms across from each other have matched order numbers, even and odd.
a. This allows for large rooms to be renovated into multiple smaller rooms allowing the new room numbers to be assigned without reassigning large sections of the floor.
5. Proceed clockwise. If this is not possible due to the architectural design of the building, the numbering shall proceed in a logical progression.
6. Prefixes:
a. Non–assignable Space:
i. Building circulation space shall always be preceded with an ‘N’ (non–assignable space).
ii. Building circulation consists of corridors, stairs, elevators, etc.

b. Building Wings:
i. Buildings with more than 99 rooms on a single floor shall be separated into wings.
ii. Wings are indicated by alphabetic prefixes and shall be the first character of the assigned room number.
iii. Wing prefixes are assigned when the architectural design of a building dictates.
a) For example, E (for east), W (for west), or A, B, C, etc.
b) Note that an ‘N’ would not be used for a North wing because it would be confused with the ‘N’ used for non–assignable space.
c. Main and Intermediate Distribution Frame Rooms (MDF/IDF):
i. MDF/IDF rooms shall have a prefix of T.
ii. The room number shall follow the sequence of the rooms without a prefix.
a) For example, 201, T202, 203, etc.
7. Rooms entered from a main building hallway shall not be assigned a suffix.
8. Rooms entered from a secondary hallway or from within a room are assigned the same room number as the room it is entered from but with an alphabetical suffix attached, i.e., A, B, C, etc.
a. For example:
i. 124 (first floor room 124)
ii. EN1035 (building circulation space 1035 in the East Wing of the tenth floor)
iii. E306A (room 306A off of room 306 in the East Wing)
9. Labs are often grouped in clusters and therefore are better identified as suites with one number for the main area or entrance room and prefixed numbers for the adjoining rooms.
10. All re–numbering of renovated rooms shall be consistent with the existing numbering in adjacent spaces.
a. When the existing numbering is not consistent or is confusing, room numbers shall be assigned to renovated rooms to keep with the intent of the CSU Room Numbering Standard yet allow for a reasonable best solution.
11. Assignment Responsibility:
a. Initial assignment:
i. Room numbers are assigned by the Project Team for newly constructed buildings and remodels or can be assigned by FM Space Management.
b. Final approval:
