A simple file of physical buildings. A 'division designation' may be included if needed to distinguish between two buildings having
the same number. Suppose, for example, there were two buildings numbered 100 at VAMC St. Louis, one at the John Cochran Division
and one at Jefferson Barracks. These two buildings could be entered separately as 100-JC and 100-JB; where 'JB' and 'JC' are
division designators. The same strategy may be useful at facilities that support outpatient clinics, Regional Offices, national
cemeteries, etc.

HELP-PROMPT: ANSWER MUST BE 1-10 CHARACTERS IN LENGTH, NO MORE THAN ONE HYPHEN
DESCRIPTION: Building identifier. Used for data validation when entries are made in the Space File. Building
NAME should consist of either one or two pieces, separated by the hyphen ("-"). The rule is this:
1. Sites where building designations are unique in and
of themselves should have one-piece entries in this file.
Building NAME's should not contain any hyphens.
2. Sites where building designations are not necessarily
unique (multi-division sites and perhaps sites that support
remote clinics and/or other quasi-independent offices)
should use a two-piece format. The second piece should
designate the division, outpatient clinic, Regional Office,
etc. Building NAME's should contain only one hyphen, which
will be treated as the delimiter between 'building' and
'division'.
Building NAME's should be kept as short as possible since they will be printed on each bar coded
LOCATION LABEL. It will be difficult to fit lengthy building NAME's onto bar code labels of
standard size. Assuming three inch width and Code 39 symbology, bar coded LOCATION LABEL's can
accomodate about thirteen (13) characters total. In particular, it is suggested that 'division'
designations be no more than two or three characters long.
