CAMPUS LOCATIONS
Locations on an EFSC campus are publicized using the following format( capitalization and punctuation included): Building #, Room #
• The meeting will be held in Building 1, Room 143.
When necessary to conserve space, this format may be abbreviated as follows: Bldg. #, Rm. # or Bldg. #, Room #
• The event will take place on the Titusville Campus( Bldg. 1, Rm. 143).
• Is the meeting scheduled to be held in Bldg. 1, Room 107G?
Each element of a location should be capitalized and separated by commas – including descriptive locations lacking a specific building or room number.
• Melbourne Campus, Bldg. 6, Titan Field House
