ROOM TYPE: A classification system that uses a code to describe a room’s last use as of June 30th in a fiscal year. Common room types include classrooms, private offices, conference rooms, and non-class research laboratories.
FUNCTION CODE: A code designating the purpose for which a room is being used. A single room may serve several functions. For example, a class lab may have two functions: "General Academic Instruction" 70% of the time with function code 1.1 and "Individual and Project Research" 30% of the time with function code 2.2.
