Effective Fall 1996, use of the alpha suffix in the fifth position will not be accepted for newly capitalized buildings or structures. Numbers for buildings must be represented exactily as they appear in the Plant Asset file, under the Corporate Asset Account Number (CAAN).

Further, each building or separate structure must be assigned a unique building number, including buildings which are part of a complex. The assignment of building numbers should be coordinated with, but not limited to, the following offices: Plant Accoutning, Equipment Management, Facilities Management (A&E and D&C), Facilities Inventory Management, and Capital Planning.

See February 7, 1996 letter to Assistant Vice Chancellors on the assignment of CAANs in Appendix G of the Facilities Inventory Guide for a complete discussion.
