When rooms are being created they ought to be given names that are self explanatory and reflect those used on the timetable and group lists. Some colleges abbreviate like 3PHY2 (for the subject physics), while others use AAAFAF3PHY2 and so on. The rooms in primary schools are attached to classes or stages such as for instance Grade 5B.

In higher education you need to think"globally" and attach the rooms to a department. This eases the work for those with higher rights in Fronter. One example is that the subject statistics can be taught at several departments. One solution may be to attach department/ study to the room name, like (FoSS-BBA) Statistics. In addition the rooms may be numbered if you want to have them in a particular order.

Some people choose to make the room follow the same yeargroup from one year to another, whilst others let the students/pupils "flow through" the room and "reuse" it with new students/pupils every year. Your choice of room name needs to reflect this. You should also have a consistent system regarding upper and lower case letters
