Hi all,

I've started to work on this. At the moment I've got data for some of
the rooms at the Computing Services:

<http://oxpoints.oucs.ox.ac.uk/isPartOf/23233669>

Someone on our oxpoints-users list says the following about what we've
got so far:

Apparently our Educational Policy and Standards Committee have broken
the University estate into

* Lecture or seminar room: fixed
* Lecture or seminar room: flexible
* Laboratory
* IT room
* Committee Room
* Other

So there may be some tweaking yet to be done…
