Locations typically describe the facilities in your organization. If you manage a school district, your Locations will most likely be your individual schools (Dude High School, ABC Elementary School, Administration Building, etc.). If you manage a higher education organization, your Locations may be your campuses (West Campus, Central Campus, etc.).
For organizations that have multiple campuses, each with multiple facilities on them, you may decide to use Locations to describe the campus. Then you can use Buildings to describe the structures on each campus. *Note: There are user roles in Incident that can be restricted to the Location level, but not the Building level.
