[OSM-newbies] adding POI in Potlatch that is not on the menu

When editing in Potlatch, how do you go about adding a POI that is not
in the list of default POI types? The building in which I work used to
be a hospital. Several years ago, it ceased to be a hospital, and was
converted into commercial office space. However, it still shows up on
the slippy map at OpenStreetMap.org as "Donelson Hospital". I would
like to correct this, and have it show whatever the correct POI icon is
for business offices, as well as having a note saying "former Donelson
Hospital". The list of POI icons at the bottom of the Potlatch screen
does not show an "office" type. Is there a POI type defined for
offices, or do I need to trace the building as an area, then set the
properties of the area?
