Thank you for your reply. We have already an enterprise network which provide wireless service using more than 100 APs. We have two SSIDs. We want the 'Students" SSID disabled in some locations where they are should not be. Having this can you more brief your solution.

Let us say you have two SSIDs:  Student and Staff.  

Building A is a dorm.  

Building B is an Admin building

Building C are the classrooms. 

Create three AP Groups: 

AP Group "A" will only broadcast the Student SSID. 

AP Group "B" will only broadcast the Staff SSID. 

AP Group "C" will broadcast both Staff and Student SSIDs. 

Assign APs accordingly.
