1. PURPOSE
Why are room numbers important?
1.1 A room number is a unique and permanent spatial identifier that remains unchanged for the
lifespan of a space.
1.2 Room numbers form baseline space inventory data which is fundamental to the use, operation
and maintenance of buildings.
1.3 Activities, people and assets need to be attributed to the space which they occur or belong.
1.4 Standardised and accurate room numbering is fundamental to student experience and
supports all levels of facility management:
‐ Wayfinding and signage
‐ Timetabling and venue management
‐ Staff location and asset management
‐ Information technology
‐ Security and access
‐ Cleaning
‐ Hazardous materials
1.5 The University’s web‐based Spatial Information System (SIS) displays authoritative building floor
plans and room numbers which correspond to physical signage.

2. DEFINITION
What to number?
Room is used as a generic term in reference to all space types, as listed below.
The terms number and code are used interchangeably in reference to an alpha‐numeric identifier.
‐ Interior habitable and non‐habitable space
‐ Enclosed rooms
‐ Pod/cluster of workstations and individual workstations
‐ Open‐plan zones delineated by function
‐ Circulation, hori zontal and vertical
‐ (Voids and service risers)
‐ Outdoor spaces, including semi‐enclosed outdoor space
‐ Bookable space
‐ Exceptions apply

3. PROCESS
Acceptance criteria
3.1 Sign‐off for proposed room numbers is obtained from Space Management upon conclusion of
the detailed design stage.
3.2 All project documents (as‐builts, shop drawings, schedules, registers, et al) use the approved
room numbers.
3.3 Signage is installed to display approved room numbers.
Upon failure which, the project will be deemed incomplete and not fit for handover.
Project Initiation Room numbering standards are issued to architect
Detailed Design Architect issues preliminary room numbers
on PDF floor plans to Space Management for review
Space Management approves room numbers
Space Management requests changes
Architect incorporates approved room numbers and issues ‘for construction’ CAD and PDF floor plans to Space Management

4.1 Campus
The University of Melbourne has 7 official campuses – Burnley, Creswick, Dookie, Parkville,
Shepparton, Southbank and Werribee.
4.2 Building
A new building number can be requested from Space Management via space‐
4.3 Floor, Room & Workstation
Workstations are subsets of rooms and rooms are subsets of floors. Numbers are used to
express this relationship.
For example, workstation 323.06 is simply the 6th workstation in room 323 and room 323 is
located on level 3.

The diagram below illustrates numbering conventions for various room types.
* External grounds areas are as advised by Space Management.

PRINCIPLES
4.4 The point of origin shall be closest to the principal entrance or approach.
4.5 Room numbers shall ascend clockwise and/or left to right, relative to the point of approach.
4.6 Workstation numbers shall usually ascend clockwise and always left to right, ie, the
workstation to the right of the user is a higher number than the user’s workstation number.
4.7 Room numbering sequence shall take the ‘path of least resistance’ relative to a user moving
through a building from the main approach.
4.8 Rooms within rooms (suites) may have the same number as the primary room with an
alphabetical suffix.
4.9 Rooms on different floors that are of identical location, function and/or size shall have
‘vertically aligned’ numbers.
4.10 Room numbers may be used to group spaces into logical zones or clusters.
4.11 Gaps shall be left in the sequence for future‐proofing.
5. EXAMPLES / CASE STUDIES
5.1 Southbank Building 876, basic application of room and workstation principles.
5.2 13‐21 Bedford Street – good application of all principles and workstation sequencing.
5.3 11 Barry Street, levels 1 to 3 – good application of all principles. Note the vertical alignment
of meeting rooms 130, 230 and 330; 131, 231 and 331; as well as zoning.
5.4 John Medley Building – good application of cluster/zoning principles and ‘end of sequence’
numbers for service cores.
5.5 Medical Building, level 5 north – deteriorated sequencing.
5.6 Peter Hall Building, ground floor – deteriorated sequencing as a result of multiple additions
and refurbishments over 9 decades.
