Hi Rory and all mappers





What do you think is the best way to map schools beside each other, say in 
the case of where there is a "School X Primary" and "School X Secondary" on 
the same grounds but they are treated separately for example different 
buildings, phone numbers, principals and in some cases even gender?




I was thinking that the area encompassing the grounds could be split into two 
smaller ones but this is not always logical as it might only be the buildings 
that differentiate the two schools and the land they are on is shared. In 
these instances does it make sense to tag the main buildings for each?
