Title: A University?
Post by: Paeng on September 15, 2016, 12:04:33 PM
I'd love to see a building that starts as a school and can be upgraded, preferrably with RedK's Overlap Tech... so by adding a 2nd and 3rd floor you can properly add teachers, and raise capacities...

Later maybe add modules for really large towns, like an AudiMax (still high cap schools), some sports facilities (health) and such, to make it a true university compound...

I know some folks don't like centralized edu, but in my experience, long schoolways become kinda relative in large cities with high pop... plus one can still build small schools in wayout hamlets anyway.  :)


I'm tired of scaping up some space in a (usually) bad location to accomodate another 12 or 20 pupils... I want a strong education facility that can grow with my town. And yes, centralized...  ;)

It's the University of Virginia right? It's about 50 miles up the road from me. :)

I love the building.

Great stuff @RedKetchup. I continue to be amazed at how quickly you whip together these splendid-looking buildings :)

Indeed a majestic building... fantastic looking   ;D
Another one of the great wonders to build in late game like a cathedral!


Though would this upgrade?
My reasoning was to have edu upgrades in a 1, 2, 3 floor building (using overlap tech), so -

1st floor (base) = 20 students + 1 teacher
2nd floor (overlap1) = 130 students + 1 teacher
3rd floor (overlap2) = 250 students + 1 teacher

In the end you'd have a 3floor overlapping school that holds 3 individual teachers and ~400 pupils, where you build the additional levels as your town grows, in a pre-determined space...  :)

I think it would be a little to much.. 400 students with 3 teacher?
I know the builings takes more space with the overlap and its like 2 schools next together, but 400 is too many imo:D

maybe not floors on top of each other but next to it.... maybe the first building will have a very big footprint with empty designated spaces for the other buildings.. you build the first one and later when you want more capacity you'll build a classroom for example in its designated footprint.. if its possible

and what it this buillding allow 250 students with a fixed 3 teacher, and you can add 2 buildings de 1x6 each side (4 total) de 25 students + 1 teacher each ?
would give you 350 students ?


this university can be a very nice set

So 3+4 teacher for 350 students? Should be okay if the footprint is like 4 times as big as 1 school? Or more?

Wow, that's a deep dig in the archives, but indeed, what an incredibly awesome building!:)

The official opening date is May 12, 1364.-Neo-Gothic style :Geeting
Title: Re: A University?
Post by: Artfactial on April 20, 2020, 11:19:10 PM
@taniu I'd think the building more a 19th century Gothic-revival(copper roofing, redbrick).
But 1364 is very old for a University and the building is wonderful at any rate.:)

Taniu posted a picture of a building from the University of Krakow.  The university was started in the 1300's, but that picture is a modern building.  It is a fine looking building.

I would be interested in Red releasing his university building.

Ah wonderful.:) Hope to visit Krakow one day, so much history.

And yes, would love this to be released. We have way too few neo-classical buildings for Banished.<3
KingLeno has a whole university set in this style for Cities Skylines.:)
