You can create as many Layouts as you want. The default layout of the views is set in the _ViewStart.cshtml file.

If you want to use a different layout in a view, all you have to do is set the Layout property at the start of the view.

@{
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_MyLayout.cshtml";
}

If you right click on the folder in the solution explorer it will give you a menu that will say add->. If you select "new" a popup will give you a list and you can select Layout View form the menu. Once you select to add a View you can select what layout from the drop down list.
