PURPOSE
The purpose of this subchapter is to establish a standard procedure
for the numbering and naming of buildings at NIST.
7.04.02
SCOPE
This subchapter applies to the numbering and naming of buildings at
both the NIST-Gaithersburg and NIST-Boulder sites.
7.04.03
POLICY
It is NIST policy that all buildings at the Gaithersburg and Boulder
sites be numbered and named. Changes in building designations, either the
name or the abbreviation, are prohibited except as outlined in this subchapter.
7.04.04
PROCEDURES
a. Numbering Buildings - The Plant Division assigns numbers
to new Gaithersburg buildings when they are in the planning stage. All
Gaithersburg buildings are numbered numerically in series as follows:
100 series - Administrative Buildings
200 series - Laboratory Buildings
300 series - Service Buildings
400 series - Temporary Buildings
500 series - NIST Annex Test Facilities
800 series - Local Leased Buildings
At Boulder, buildings are numbered chronologically beginning with one (1). The Engineering, Maintenance, Safety, and Support Division assigns numbers when buildings are in the planning stage.
b. Naming of Buildings
(1) Divisions occupying a building may propose a building name to the Chief, Plant Division (at Boulder, the Chief, Engineering, Maintenance, Safety, and Support) or the Plant Division (at Boulder, the Engineering, Maintenance, Safety, and Support Division) may initiate a proposal for a building name. The proposed building name is discussed with the principal organizational units occupying the buildings to determine acceptability.
(2) The Chief, Plant Division, submits the proposed name and abbreviation by memorandum to the Office of the Director through the Director of Administration and Chief Financial Officer for approval. (At Boulder, the Engineering, Maintenance, Safety, and Support Division submits the proposed name and abbreviation by memorandum to the Director, NIST/Boulder Laboratories for review and approval.)
(3) The Director of Administration and Chief Financial Officer advises the following organizational units of newly approved names and abbreviations of buildings:
--Plant Division
--Facilities Services Division
--Management and Organization Division
--Office of Information Services
