[OSM-talk] "Campus", medical center, commercial?

[Hillsman, Edward]

Similar issue for the Capitol Campus in Olympia Washington. Collection of public buildings in a campus setting. I think some other state capitals have similar planned complexes around their legislative buildings. Some have buildings sited nearby that really wouldn't qualify as a "campus". And there are some church complexes here in Tampa that have the feel of small campuses. I have thought it might be useful to have a "landuse=campus" tag, a "type=university/office (or commercial)/government/place_of_worship" tag, which would supplant the "amenity=university" tag. But I haven't proposed it yet.

Not finding definitive info on these questions in the wiki or mail archives, at least 
so far.  I have questions about how to draw two types of "campuses" or "sites".  The 
first example is a medical center, which may have one or more primary Hospital buildings 
and a number of smaller office buildings and facilities.   The other would be a 
large company campus (think Cisco, IBM, etc.)

Would these both best be done with an outer "landuse=commercial" area?
