Creating multiples directories from a file on bash terminal

The problem

A repetitive task to do: create 111 directories with 2 sub directories each one. The structure is:

├── SMD0088
│   ├── files
│   └── tasks

The names are from a spreadsheet column.

I need to prepare 6 computer labs for next semester classes. Each professor has a small list of application to install on a right lab.

Create an Ansible role to each subject and a playbook for each lab.

$ while read line; do mkdir -p $line/{tasks,files}; done < d

The line 'SMD0088' on "d" turns on to 'SMD0088/files' and 'SMD0088/tasks' directories.
