How do I add a new Building?

Navigation Path
Registrars Module → Building / Facility → Building/Rooms

You can use the Building and Rooms  tool to add any classrooms or locations where a course is taught.  Buildings and Rooms are helpful when scheduling courses in the system, to help a student understand where a course will be taught or located.  The Building and Rooms tool is also used by our Building/Facilities Module, to help manage any maintenance and custodial requests for your campus.

You begin by creating the physical buildings on your campus, then you can create the rooms within that building.

A building status of “Open” means that you are actively using this building/location, or “Closed” if you no longer need the building to be available.  If the building (and associated rooms) is no longer needed, you can use the “Delete” button to remove it from the system.

Use the “Add New Building” button at the top of the screen to create your new building.  Enter in the name you would like your Building to be in the pop-up box, then click OK.

Once you’ve created your new building, click on the “View Rooms” button.

A room status of “Open” means that you are actively using this room, or “Closed” if you no longer need the room to be available.  If the room is no longer needed, you can use the “Delete” button to remove it from the system.

You can click the “Add New Room” button at the top of the page to add any additional rooms/classrooms/offices within the building you’re working with.

Once you’ve created your new room(s), click on the “Edit” button to specify additional details.

Here you can edit the room’s name and specify the room's total capacity.  The room capacity is used when scheduling courses (Course Calendar tool), to automatically set the seat count when this room is used.
