Boundary Conditions with above floors

Hello, I'm modeling a laboratory at my college using sketchup + openstudio, the laboratory has two floors but above the second floor there are many other rooms that are not part of the project.

The questions are, as I don't have the plans of the rooms above to model should I create a generic empty room above or is there some specific boundary condition that can be included in the program? And if there are rooms without details about them at the sides of the laboratory should i model again a empty room or there is a correct boundary to be used?
