In addition to scheduling meetings in Google Calendar, users in your organization can manage resources that people share. The most common example of a resource is a meeting room. Other examples include projectors, company fleet cars, guest offices, recreation equipment, or any other resource people might schedule a time to use. You have to create resources in Calendar before your users can schedule those resources.
In this exercise, you will create a structured calendar resource for your main building.
