Common way to map this (unfortunately) is amenity=university on all parts, e.g. https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/25074981 Here's an example of a (not yet complete and in some parts overcomplete) multipolygon for the Universität Tübingen: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/8639592 (curiously, there are also node members ;-) ). > With other words "pieces" of the University come in all sizes and shapes, > from what would be a typical campus to single apartments, where the > "location" is the building entrance where the university institution is > only one of many door bells. > And I know that this is true of other universities and research > establishments. > This situation made me think of (mis-)using the site relation for tagging. > > yes, but if we keep the small places like the apartment as nodes, it will not be possible to see that they are small, because a node can be any kind of size.
