I work in a school system with several computer labs which can be reserved by the teachers. I would like to set up drupal to assist in managing the schedule.

First thoughts: set up a vocabulary with terms for each resource (Lab A, Lab B, etc.), and create an event type with flexinode so that teachers can create an event and request a given lab, and I would moderate them up if the request works, or modify it as needed.

However, if possible, I would like for teachers to be able to schedule an event by period, rather than by time, (i.e. first period is from 8:20 to 9:13) so that we don't need to keep referencing the school schedule to determine what times the labs are needed.

Also, I would like the table display to show the entire day, and fill in the reserved spots. Currently, I have the table display to show only 1 day, but it shows the events one after the other, and doesn't show empty slots.

Any thoughts on how I could possibly make this work?

I was thinking as far as the time periods go, I could create a separate table in the database with two fields: start time and end time, and fill that in with the school schedule. Assuming I did that, how hard would it be to link that table into the event module to make it useable?
