A current asset is defined as an asset that can be quickly liquidated and turned into cash and in some cases used to pay current assets in no more than a year (or one accounting period).

Generally a building can not be sold or liquidated that quickly and therefore falls under PP&E (Property, Plant, & Equipment)
