Naming and Consistency Wiki Community Report

I already posted this reply on the Canvas discussion, but I figured that I would add it here as well to cover all my bases. :)

My suggestion is that the names of the buildings be written in their full form in the Introduction, and then they are followed by their shorthand in brackets. That way the reader will know what the abbreviations stand for, and it sets it up properly for the rest of the sections to just use the shorthand.

So, for example, in the introduction they can write "Creative and Critical Studies (CCS)", "Engineering, Management, and Education (EME)", or "Arts and Science (ASC)". I think it would be best to shorten the names of the buildings as much as possible, as long as these shorthand versions are noted in the introduction when the buildings are first mentioned.

Hello Nyshaya,

just responding to your message Lindsay recommended that we do not use google docs and communicate via WIKI and Canvas. I hope you had a change to take a look at the Spatial Comparison feed.
