Yes, for example this building at Heriot-Watt University: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/22881764 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/22881764> where I used the university=building tag over 6 years ago. With the grounds of the university being tagged amenity=university: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4388535 <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4388535> I apply a similar principle to schools.

Mapnik will render any building value, except building=no. There are some building values which get special treatment.
