My school has two campuses in two different locations. It takes about 60 minutes to travel between the two campuses. A teacher is scheduled to teach periods 1 and 2 at the first campus, then use the break time and period 3 to travel to the second campus to teach periods 4 and 5.
How can i do that in FET?
Thanks

Configure two different buildings, then use the "Min gaps between building changes" for teachers, set the number of gaps to 1

Hello.

I think that you don't really need to add space constraints. If your problem occurs just on one single day, you can try the following approach:
1) Add a constraint "teacher not available times" for this specific teacher, and make the 3rd period (time slot) not available for this specific day.
2) Add a constraint "a set of activities has a set of preferred time slots". Selected activities = the activities which take place on the 1st campus on this specific day, and selected time slots the 1st and 2nd period of this specific day.
3) Add a constraint "a set of activities has a set of preferred time slots". Selected activities = the activities which take place on the 2nd campus on this specific day, and selected time slots the 4th and 5th periods of this specific day.
I hope this approach solves your problem.
