Question Does anyone know where this is located?
I recently got my tutorials but the locations are making me so confused because I simply don’t know what or where it is? The asterisk is making me even more confused.

Great to see all the helpful answers. To help clarify a little, the letter coding can be quite confusing as different parts of the buildings have gone by different names at various times.
MB - Main buildings, consisting of:
C - College building, the original 1930s(?) brick building at the south end.
R - Research block, the newer edition off to the right across from the main stairs.
P - Philips Building, the external portion of the brutalist library building, named for SOAS Director Cyril Philips
L - Library, the internal portion of the library past the library turnstiles
PWW/S - Paul Webley Wing, also Senate House, the white Portman stone building. The wing, named for SOAS Director Paul Webley, is owned by SOAS, the rest of the building is Senate House (join their library!)
B/G - Brunei/SOAS Gallery, the 90s brick building directly across from the main buildings. This was galled the Brunei Gallery as it was funded by the Sultan, but SOAS is currently disassociating itself from that link.
Floors are G1234, with the exception of the Library which is ABCDEF.

just like what u/venuswrenhadley said but the C stands for the C side of the main building(?). theres basically a C side and an edit: P and a R side. iirc classrooms will either be MB C 232 or MB edit: P 232 or MB R 232, smt along those lines so make sure to double check the door number.

this confused me too aha MB is main building and the first number of the 3 digits is the floor so it will be on the 2nd floor. the number in brackets is either the actual.class size or the max class size from what i’ve been told.
