My school does the same thing. Every building has a number; most have names too, but most academic buildings are only ever referred to by number. (Kind of takes the joy out of being a big enough donor to get your name on a building!) They're not consecutive either... on main campus, Building 10 is in the middle; everything west of it has an odd number, everything east of it has an even number.
Not only are the buildings numbered, all the majors are numbered, and all the subjects are numbered. It is possible to describe your entire schedule without using a noun that is not a number, e.g. "I have 5.11 in 10-250 at 10, then I have 8.01 in 26-100 at 11..."
