Layout Help

[Lady Wuffles]

So, I'm absolutely horrible at creating good layouts for city building games. Right now, all my buildings are detached from each other and it's just pure chaos. lol Does anyone have any good tips to help me build a more cohesive and functioning school?

I had the opposite problem. All in one building -- crowd, chaos and confusion.

Try some real life inspiration

Oh, thank you! I hadn't thought about looking at blueprints and layouts. :D

Here is some simple advice when layout your school.
1. Always be aware of student's traveling time; Keep your classrooms and services (food and restrooms) near to each other.
2. If land is limited to expand or to build on? Try building up, as you have tons of airspace.
3. Limit choke points for traveling students. Always have least two and maybe three paths to travel location.
4. Look at your local schools that you attend or visited in real life. The newer Middle and High schools are designed for easy traveling for the students.
