Buildings are not connected to your calendar and are exclusive to your [MyJoan](https://my.getjoan.com/) account. These buildings can be anything from a different office to simply a different room you wish to have different settings. So, when adding a building, you are actually creating it.

If you wish to learn more about building-specific settings, see [Building-specific settings](/help/room-management/building-specific-settings). Otherwise, follow these steps in order to add a building and connect resources to it:

- [How to add a building](#How-to-add-a-building)
- [How to connect a resource to a building](#How-to-connect-a-resource-to-a-building)
