Faculty room

*For the item, see Faculty Nametag.*

**Faculty rooms** are rooms in the *Baldi's Basics* series that are listed as off-limits on one of the school rules by Principal of the Thing.

## Description

These rooms appear similar to the Principal's office, as there is a blue carpet floor and white brick walls with green molding. However, there are pieces of furniture with useful items on top of them. Faculty rooms also sometimes have more than one door, meaning they can be used as a shortcut to avoid Baldi, Gotta Sweep, or other characters and obstacles. There are three different types of faculty rooms:

* Faculty rooms with scattered big desks; there are no other features other than randomized positions of items, globes and papers, and rarely, lockers. This type of room has windows.
* Faculty rooms with round tables; each of them having a set of four chairs. These faculty rooms also contain vending machines that dispense different food and drink items (BSODA and Energy Flavored Zesty Bar). The tables also contain some food trays and sometimes bananas. This type of room has windows as well. Sometimes, if the room is small, there is a chance that no furniture, objects, nor items will be generated in it.
* Faculty rooms with cafeteria lunch tables instead of the usual desks, named as **faculty locker rooms**\*; they also have lockers and a water fountain. Sometimes, this type of room has no items nor lunch tables, due to the room being too small to generate them.

## Overview

### Main gameplay

#### General

A different amount of faculty rooms generate depending on the floor:

* Floor 1, Floor 2: 4 or 5 rooms
* Floor 3: 7 or 8 rooms

The player can find more useful items in faculty rooms than in other locations. If Principal of the Thing sees the player going in, leaving, or remaining inside of these rooms, he will scold them for breaking the "No entering faculty" rule. Using the Faculty Nametag will allow the player to enter the faculty rooms freely without punishment, albeit for a limited time.

* In *Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered*, there are the same faculty rooms in *Classic* and *Birthday Bash*. However, the one in the glitched school has the placeholder textures instead of the outdoor area with an exit.

## Trivia

### General

* In a few pre-release images and one of the *Development Build* videos, the faculty rooms had wooden textures entirely as placeholders.

### *Baldi's Basics Plus*

* Rarely, five faculty rooms can be connected to each other with doors. It possibly can only be found from the playground area.
* It is incredibly rare to have a tiny faculty room.
* Some faculty rooms may not have any doors. The only way to enter the faculty room is by using the Portal Poster, or using the Dangerous Teleporter.

### *Classic*/*Birthday Bash*

* The chalkboards in all of these rooms say "**Today's Lesson: How to eat cheese**", except for the one with the Yellow Door Lock that says "**PLace lore here**".

### *Baldi's Basics Classic*

* The faculty rooms have underwent many changes:
	+ Prior to V1.3.1, Playtime could enter these rooms randomly. Since then, she will only enter the room when chasing the player.
	+ In V1.3, the faculty room containing the Alarm Clock was rearranged slightly to accommodate the new item, with the Quarter originally in the back corner being replaced with the Alarm Clock, and instead moved to a desk near the door. It is also extremely dangerous to attempt to get the clock while Baldi is nearby, unless the WD-NoSquee was applied to the door.
	+ The Big Ol' Boots poster was added in the V1.4.3 update.
	+ In V1.0, being in a faculty room would make the player guilty of it for 2 seconds after they exit it. It was changed to 1 second in V1.1.

## Glitches

* From V0.3.3 to V0.3.7, the entrance of one of the faculty rooms in the Stealthy Challenge had been blocked by a wall, so it could not be accessed. In V0.3.3 and V0.3.4, the door could be interacted with through the wall.
	+ The outside door to this faculty room was added in V0.3.5. However, the player still could not enter the room because the wall would block the entrance after opening a door.
