Overall Objective

Currently, our data is incomplete and may be out of date due to it's source of the crowd-sourced housing spreadsheet. We need to update this data to more accurately reflect on campus dorms. In order to update our data, we can either contact ResEd, crowdsource the data online through a form, or field work visiting dorms and asking people in person. In particular, we need more accurate data regarding kitchen location/size and laundry location/size.

Suggested Approach

Collect data through whichever method you use, ideally all 3
Update buildings.json with the new data
