It would be a good idea if the tag/s developed here could be used with other things that have 'departments' such as universities.

Hence my suggestion of 'department', as a key it is used some 799 times .. fairly good for something that is not well documented.

See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Duniversity#Faculties_and_departments

I don't see the necessity for a 'whole wing'. I would think that they typically would have a defined area, however big or small it is.
