How it's used
Refers specifically to secondary locations of an educational institution, such as a tutorial center or a university campus. It implies a hierarchical relationship where the main location is the headquarters or main campus. Using this term for a simple classroom or a small office is incorrect, as it implies a full-scale educational operation.
