The first two words have a genitive relation and in such relation, the second word of the compound must have (AL) and translated as (THE professor's room). However, in English since there is a name after "professor" it would be cumbersome to add "the" before professor.

Yep. Typically the second word in the genitive compound gets (-i) vowel to its end (in normal conditions).
