Model Your Physical Campus

Model Your Physical Campus

Use the Facility object along with related objects to track data.

Example data that you can track:

• The property type and capacity.

• The building (parent Facility) that a classroom is located within.

• The department (Account) responsible for a Facility.

• The staff or faculty member (Contact) who's a Facility's primary contact.

• The student (Contact) who is assigned to a dorm room.

• A class location (Course Offering).

• A class location that varies by day of the week (Course Offering Schedule).

Consider this example of a partial list of Facility records for the Connected University campus.

Facility Name	Facility Type	Parent Facility	Account
Corporation Yard	Building	None	Physical Plant Department
Ginsburg Hall	Building	None	School of Law
Ginsburg Auditorium A	Lecture Hall	Ginsburg Hall	School of Law
Ginsburg Auditorium B	Lecture Hall	Ginsburg Hall	School of Law
Ginsburg Library	Library	Ginsburg Hall	School of Law
South Campus Annex	Building	None	Office of Research and Innovation
Recreational Sports Facility	Gymnasium	None	Office of Real Estate and Facilities
RSF Pool	Gymnasium	Recreational Sports Facility	Office of Real Estate and Facilities
Student Union	Building	None	Office of Real Estate and Facilities

Notice that Facility records can be organized in a hierarchy, so that you can define in detail how property assets are related, such as a Facility record under a parent Facility record. For example, the RSF Pool is part of the larger Recreational Sports Facility complex, which is administered by the Office of Real Estate and Facilities.
