Only when the outer members don't touch, for instance two buildings that 
share a wall, but are of different heights. Yes you could map each 
building as a multipoyglon .. and then map the non over lapping building 
ways to the university multipolygon .. but loose the name and ref number 
of the buildings..

A site relation is better as it is simpler and better matches the data.
