How do UAL room numbers work?

Room numbers in large organisations can be confusing, which is why we try to stick to a single standard as best as possible. UAL room numbers read from left to right, with more and more granular detail.

On the left is the building code, working through the site, floor, room, and subroom or area.

Example room numbers:

Room number Site Block Floor Room Area
HH_302 HH 3 02
GB_G03 GB G 03
PR_B502B PR B 5 02 B
PR_B501-01 PR B 5 01 01

Site

Reading the site code is arguably the most important part because rooms like G03 in more than a dozen sites could be more than an hour away on the bus. HH_G03 is in Holborn, whereas GB_G03 is in Camberwell.

The site code is usually 2 characters but can be up to 3.

For example, EW_G04.

List of CCI sites

Code Name
PR Peckham Road
GB Greencoat Building
HH High Holborn
EW Eagle Wharf

Building / Block

Some UAL sites have multiple buildings, also known as blocks, on one site; for example, at Peckham Road, there are 4 interconnected buildings lettered A through D.

Not all room numbers have block codes, but where they do, it'll be 1 character from A-E.

For example, PR_A215.

Floor

Most UAL buildings have multiple floors; in the UK, floor numbers start at 0 for the ground floor, unlike in North America, where they start at 1. In other words, the 1st floor in the UK is the floor above that which you enter. For example, HH_LG05.

Generally, floors at UAL are called:

Room number

The room number is a clearly defined area with a door. To avoid confusion, single-digit rooms (1-9) are presented as 2-digit numbers. For example, GB_G01.

Sub-rooms

Sub-rooms are generally found in large rooms subdivided to provide small offices or meeting spaces. They're denoted with a letter from A-Z, for example, PR_B501A.

Areas and Spaces

Areas and spaces are partially or unenclosed areas used for timetabling and booking.

Areas

Areas are designated with a hyphen (-), for example, PR_B501-01.

Spaces

Spaces are designated with an S for example, EB_10S04.

Lockers

Every CCI building has lockers for staff and students to store things in for short periods. We don't have the space for everyone to have their own, so we ask you to avoid leaving things in them for long periods that you aren't using.

Loss, damage or theft
UAL takes no responsibility for any loss, damage or theft to items left in the lockers..

Lockers are emptied at the end of June every year
You should make sure to clear your locker before the end of June each year as they will be emptied by staff. Any books or loan items will be returned for you, and any other stuff will be stored in a box until 31st December before being disposed of in any way we see fit.

How to find a locker

Available lockers will have the handle in the horizontal position or be open.

How to lock a locker

  1. Close the door
  2. Tap your UAL ID card
  3. Turn the handle 90º clockwise

Remember to note the locker number and check it's locked!

How to unlock a locker

  1. Tap your UAL ID card
  2. Turn the handle 90º counter clockwise
  3. Open the door
