## 🚀 Feature Request: Smart Classroom Occupancy & Seat Availability Dashboard

[KolaSailaja]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Students and faculty often do not know which classrooms are currently occupied or available. Administrators also lack a centralized dashboard to monitor classroom utilization, making room allocation and scheduling less efficient.

Describe the solution you'd like

Introduce a Smart Classroom Occupancy & Seat Availability Dashboard that displays the real-time status of classrooms across the campus.

The dashboard should provide:

• Classroom availability (Available / Occupied)
• Current class details
• Faculty assigned
• Department
• Seating capacity
• Available seats
• Upcoming scheduled classes
• Floor-wise and building-wise filtering

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently, classroom availability can only be inferred from timetables or manual verification, which is inefficient and time-consuming.

Additional context

Backend

• Create APIs to fetch classroom schedules and occupancy details.
• Calculate seat availability using enrolled student count.
• Support filtering by building, floor, and department.

Frontend

• Build an interactive classroom dashboard.
• Use color indicators:
  • 🟢 Available
  • 🔴 Occupied
  • 🟡 Upcoming
• Add search and filter functionality.
• Display occupancy statistics.

Acceptance Criteria

• Dashboard displays all classrooms with occupancy status.
• Users can filter classrooms by building, floor, and department.
• Seat availability updates automatically.
• Upcoming scheduled classes are displayed.
• Responsive design for desktop and mobile.
• Existing classroom scheduling functionality remains unaffected.
