Each building is identified by a letter. For instance, the ?konga Hub is A Block, marked with the letter A on its exterior.
Finding a room is straightforward. Room codes follow a simple pattern: block > level > room. For example, to find Room A211, head to Building A, go to Level 2, and then find Room 11.
