Main Building (Building Number 100)

The complexity of the main building made it necessary to use room numbers with a different structural mode than in other University buildings. This is owing to the so-called building elements, in German "Bauteil", (see outline below).

The structure of the room numbers is:

   Building Element . Floor nn

For example

   Building Element 1,2,...,9 of one of the 9 Building Elements
   Floor 01, 0, 1, 2 01: Basement
  0: Ground floor
  1: 1st Floor
  2: 2nd Floor
   nn   Room numbers with 2 digits

also for example

   7.122 - Room 22 on the 1st Floor of the Building Element 7
   5.005 - Room 05 on the Ground Floor of Building Element 5
   4.0117 - Room 17 in the basement of Building Element 4

Other Buildings

In all other buildings the structural mode is:

   Floor . nn

it being understood that the basement is mostly assigned -1 (instead of 01 like in the Main Building) .
