Multiple Closure Dates for Resources
I've noticed that it is only possible to have one closure period on a resource at a time. For instance, if I've got a future date where all the desks are closed and I've closed the desks on the system for that date, if my technicians close a desk today in order to fix a live issue, then that desk loses its booking for the future date. An improvement would be to allow a resource to have a closure on multiple dates, so that future events like block closures can be booked alongside single one-off closures for maintenance.

Multiple closure option is critical for managing resources professionally, the ability to schedule closures for planned maintenance as well as emergency works scenarios will reduces the frustration of Users having their meetings cancelled by admins at short notice.
For example i have a current room closure between Jan '25 and March '25 for building works. The 2nd part of this planned project takes place between June '25 - Jan '26.
I cannot put the closure in place which means staff are still booking the resource.

I would go a bit further - we have the requirement to close all meeting rooms for all Fridays during winter to save energy. Also this is not possible. So it should be possible to close resources on a customizable period of time, like booking a meeting room series.
