I would like to know the meaning of 一通り ( translations found: briefly,
generally) in the sentence

> オレたちは **一通り** 敷地内の説明を受けた後、解散となった。

It has been translated as:

> After we got an explanation of all the buildings and facilities on campus,
> the group split up.

But I cannot find the meaning of 一通り here. Is it "a general explaination" or
"a brief explaination" ?

Could you explain me ?

Meaning and nuances and of 一通り
一通り (adverb, no-adj) means "all, although briefly". For example, 一通り理解している
means one has a _rough_ understanding of the _entire_ topic. Your sentence
means he got a brief explanation of the entire campus enough to get started.
It doesn't necessarily mean every single building was explained, but it at
least means important ones were explained.

From 明鏡国語辞典 第二版:

> ### ひと‐とおり【一通り】

> 一応、全体にわたっていること。「━の知識はある」「━書類に目を通す」
