<br>
I am trying to contribute to filling the gaps on McGill campus on OSM at <br>
the moment and I ran into a problem which I haven't fund a satisfactory <br>
answer for yet.<br>
<br>
We have several buildings on campus which are home to multiple <br>
departments, all buildings have a building name.<br>
<br>
I looked the OSM wiki feature pages and in the OSM forum and found the <br>
following approach as apparently standard procedure:<br>
1) Map building outline with building = university , name= XYZ building, <br>
operator=McGill University<br>
2) Add a node inside the building for each department with <br>
office=university, description=department name<br>
This produces irritating blue dots in the outline of the building, see <br>
<a href="https://osm.org/go/cIrNt~j2u" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://osm.org/go/cIrNt~j2u</a><br>
<br>
When I looked at other universities, I found e.g. a node with <br>
amenity=university, name=department name. But when looking at the OSM <br>
wiki feature page for universities[1] it says you only should use <br>
amenity=university for the whole campus.<br>
<br>
The office tag I found when looking for multiple businesses in one <br>
building, but the blue dot aren't nice.<br>
<br>
Any suggestions on how to map this elegantly?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Tim (aka AGeographer)<br>
