GUIDELINES WITH BUILDING, STRUCTURE, AND ROOM NAMES

Proper names of buildings and structures should always be capitalized (initial letter in upper case).
For example:

• Kennedy House

Words like building, center, and room should be capitalized only if they are an integral part of the proper name or accompany the name, otherwise not.

For example:

• Mercy Medical Center, Babylon Emergency Room.

The patient was transferred immediately to Elmont Emergency Room.

Common nouns designating rooms or units or centers should not ideally be capitalized unless preceded by a noun.

For example:  

• The patient left the emergency room in good condition.

He was kept in the intensive care unit.

-Always capitalize the names of geographic divisions like mountains, rivers, islands, oceans, states, countries, towns, cities, continents, and streets.

Geographic Names

For example

• United States of America, Mount Everest, Tokyo, New York, Great Britain

Capitalize common nouns only when they are a part of proper names, not when they stand alone.

For example:

• River Ravi flows through India and Pakistan.
• The ocean was quite dirty.
• Though Niagara Falls is the most famous tourist attraction, the falls in Cherrapunji are extremely beautiful.

The words, which are derived from geographic names but used to convey a special meaning, are not capitalized.

For example:

• plaster of paris, french fries

If the name of a city precedes the name of the state or if name of a state precedes the name of a country in text, then separate the state and country from city and state respectively by commas.

For example:

• The doctor lives in Babylon, New York.
• His office is in San Jose, California.

Proper adjectives and sociocultural derivatives from geographic names are capitalized.

For example:

• This Spanish-speaking lady comes from New York, This is an 81-year-old African-American lady

Proper Names

Names of a person, place, apartment, street, organization should always be capitalized. For example:

George Bush II

Lady Harding Hospital.

Common names, places, and things are not to be capitalized.

For example:

• Novartis is a big pharmaceutical company
• She owns her own cosmetic clinic
• Columbia is a very famous university in Canada.
