AGES
Always use integers to notate age . Hyphenate when the figure serves as an adjective or substitutes for a noun .
• He is 12 years old .
• She is a 30-year-old woman .
• The 3-year-old was crying .
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
CAPITALIZATION
Avoid the unnecessary use of capital letters . Sentences read more smoothly if the eye is not stopped by frequent capitalization . The word " college " is capitalized when it specifically refers to EFSC .
Capitalize the following :
