I've seen some great schools done by some people in their MDs but I know there must be more out there. With JBSimio's school packs out (and some in development), I'm sure that people are able to do some remarkable things. I'll open it up with a couple of my offerings and open it up to you:

Nice idea for a thread! :)
Great work! :thumbsup:
looks great.... anybody else????
Hey Threestooges, that first picture. Looks kind of dangerous, there is no fence between the school and the train tracks. The second picture look great.
:thumbsup:
those schools lok awesome,great work &apls
wow thats a nice idea in build a university :thumbsup:
Thanks everybody, but I would also be interested in seeing what everyone else can to too. I have a university I'm putting together and will probably get that up soon.
-Rooker: I thought the same thing when I was putting it together, I was thinking about redoing some lots to give them fences but that will have to wait until dedgren finishes his 3rd part of his LE tutorial, so for now, lets just say they are careful enough not to go on the tracks (though a foul ball or two may have hit a passing train).
Let's see some more of what you can do.
Aha nice thread. Finally I can post one pic I have had lying around for ages.
I have always wondered what the coach was thinking here to plan a game during graduation.

That's right, another university....., the tower also has an educational purpose.

That's one great looking school, NikNik! It looks very realistic. I love the pool and the tower. Excellent work, my friend!
Very nice. If that is ages ago, then what you have now must be quite nice to look at. My guess would be that those people on the field aren't graduating yet (and you know how those football coaches can be... more practice=better team). Thanks for showing these. If you get some more, please feel free to share them here.
That is looking wonderful, Nik-Nik! Great work! :thumbsup:

As always, I'd like to see what you all are coming up with.
Thanks for the comment guys.
In fact nowadays I still plopp universities in combo with jeronij's tarmac paths. It is a great combo.
Come to think of it I have no Maxis university in any of my cities that I develop right now. It's about time I plop one again. I will post a nice educational picture of one of my nowadays cities soon (I have the pics on another PC).
Very nice pics threestooges. I like that pool and how you connect it to the parking of the school. Great job there :thumbsup:
That basketball / plaza combo is also great thinking.
JBSimo made some greats chools indeed.

stooges - that's a perfect small college look.
I'm going the opposite direction, and building a university that fills a whole large tile. I'm about 1/2 finished, but here is a mosaic.

That's a very nicely laid out school (though I would hate to have to walk from one side to the other...it seems like there should be more parking). The small line of houses at the end of the mosaic: is it a fraternity row? Good luck with the whole tile, it's already shaping up nicely.
Quote from: threestooges on April 28, 2007, 11:56:11 AMThe small line of houses at the end of the mosaic: is it a fraternity row?
I was thinking the same thing. And to compliment the fraternities, the Greek temples are right next door. Why will you look at that!
For that university I've been heavily inspired by my school - The University of Minnesota. It's one of the largest campuses in area, and yes, it does suck walking across the whole thing to class...like I did most days. The mall area at the U of M is symmetrical with greek classical architecture and wide open grassy areas. And most of the fraternities are right on University Ave. Look for more of this university (called STFU) in The SHT Show at ST...in the CJ section. This is where all my sketch comedy takes place, and the next update will feature individual buildings to show the building and the name, which they will be named in honor of victims of the VT tragedy.
This is really a large campus, football_fever, but I like it, especially the raised footways!
@threestooges: The school in your first picture is really nice, can you tell me from where do you got this? ;)
I was inspired of all your work and tried to do a school-complex like you can find in my city:

Wow, beautiful school, Khiyana! It's great how you used different landmarks and BATs for the campus buildings!
football_fever: That is one massive campus, my friend! Very well laid out and constructed! Great job!
Khiyana: I agree with thundercrack that the buildings are good, but the paths are amazing. The wind across the grounds so nicely. If this is the one you are talking about:

then it is part of JBSimio's school pack (Elementary Schools: pack 1). You can find it here on the LEX or at ST on the STEX.
Thank you thundercrack83 and threestooges!
And yes, I hate those rough edges and try to avoid them. So I spend a lot of time to solve these problems. I puzzled a few hours for this scholl aerial :P
Ah, and thank you for the tip with the school-pack, threestooges, I must be blind....

Such a serene looking area. It's hard to believe that's the student's section. It is very well done and, more than that, a brilliant tribute to those who were lost in that tragedy. I was an RA (resident advisor) at school myself, so that little piece of it was something that was... well, you know. Beautifully done.

I find it very interesting all these different University layouts. Almost everyone spreads them out with a lot of parks in and around them. I will be attempting a University layout, using JBSimio's latest works, in one of my cities this weekend, in the down town core and I will most likely try to fit it into the smallest space I can, with some parks and greenery. But I highly doubt it will take up half the space of most of the ones here I have seen so far.
I'll post my creation when I'm done.
