Hi!

I would tag it landuse=civic_admin, which has been defined as 'an area
used for civic / governmental / public institutional administration
buildings'. [1] There's a draft proposal from 2015 [2] --
unfortunately it has been abandoned.

landuse=institutional, which is defined as 'an area used for
educational, medical institutions, public facilities, courthouses, or
other similar uses', [3] has been suggested too, however this tag has
the problem that it overlaps with other landuse including
landuse=military. Besides it might be too generic.
