HOW TO FIND A ROOM IN THE PENTAGON Each floor's layout has five pentagonal concentric rings which are connected by ten spoke-like corridors. Room numbers are comprised of the following information: The first number or letter indicates the floor on which the room is located
(B = Basement, M = Mezzanine, 1-5 = floors). The next letter is the ring on which the room is located.
(Rings are designated A,B,C,D, and E for the Mezzanine and floors 1-5 plus the
additional rings F and G in the basement only.) The next digit or the next two digits indicates the corridor on which the room is located. (Corridors are designated 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10) The last two digits indicate the specific bay or room number assigned to an office.

1. Go to the third floor, A ring
2. Proceed along the A Ring to the 1st corridor
3. Go down the 1st corridor to the Dring
