Searching for a SCP to "Crosslink"
So what I need is a SCP or GOI that could possible accidentally (or purposefully) imbue a building with sapience, so another SCP object can be made.
Got any ideas?
Thank you for your time.

Summary:
For an SCP article
Any GOI can do anything because they're magic.
It's up to you do decide how exactly they do it.
For example, AWCY could do it by hanging up magic paintings, Anderson Robotics could do it by some sophisticated "Smart Home" wiring and GAW could do it with magic cheetos or something.
The possibilities are endless since there is no established canon, so do whatever you want.

This is… not true? I don't think the UIU is magic.

This is a little overly generic. Can you provide some workable ideas specific to this article? Just because it's possible in-universe doesn't mean it'll make for a good story in this context. A totally random backstory will tend to hurt an article much more than help it.

One of their agents could accidently stumble upon that house. Of course my initial comment was initially wrong (certain GOI's are not magical), but every single GOI can theoritically be applied to any concept in my opinion. I know that shoehorning GOIs into random SCPs is frowned upon in this community, but it's certainly not impossible.

Anderson Robotics developed a "smart house" that accidentally gained sapience. It acts on it's own accord and tries to improve it's "life" as much as possible - for example, it grows some mold on a wall to get it repainted, or it secrets a toxic substance from it's bricks to kill some ivy growing on it's wall. On a particular day, an arsonist attempted to burn it down, and the house immediately [DATA EXPUNGED] him.
This idea is kind of bland and too Series-I-y, but you get the concept. A random backstory tends to hurt articles more than it helps (don't worry, I read the newbie guides), but this wasn't the question OP asked - my answer's purpose was to throw in some very basic ideas and show that almost any idea can work. Throwing out some guide quotes seemed a bit too dismissive, so I wanted to offer some positive support and encouragement.
Perhaps I should specify. I have the idea, what I need is a reason for it to exist. To improve the connection of Series IV I want to cross link in the stead of using SCP-MCGUFFIN as a plot device.
Eh, not really what I'm looking for, there is a narrative need for a good reason and I don't feel that those really help much. There is a specific personality that the building has, that being a child, in a school.
