To make a sign, should we use "Lecturer Office" or "Lecturer's Office"?

I have the feeling both "Lecturer Office" or "Lecturer's Office" are grammatically correct. But which one is more commonly-used?

Is there only one lecturer?

No, there are many lecturers in that one room.

Then the singular possessive is not correct.

Try "Lecturers' Office."

Doesn't 'or' suggest singular? Would you use 'is'?

Hello, Odessa.:-D
It should be 'and', not 'or', in the original sentence.

For a door sign, sometimes the possessive is not used. I would use "Lecturers Office" to indicate an office shared by lecturers.

We sometimes see signs like "Janitors Office" or "Nurses Office."

Can we use "lecturer" as an adjective in this case?

You can use 'lecturers' as an attributive in this case (click on the underlined link for an explanation of the word).
