- Model Description -

Welcome to the University of Science, home of the Owls and the premier higher education center for your minifigures! With this model, I embraced the maximum part count allowed for BDP to create a substantially sized building filled with educational rooms.

The build started with the exterior design. Inspired by various castles, academies, and other pieces of architecture, the university is full of varying yet cohesive styles and sections to form a unique look and a more interesting building experience.

My goal with the build was to capture the large scale of a real university campus while keeping it easy to present and place into a city, which gave me the idea for having 2 main forms of display. In open form, it better captures the scale of real universities and is over a meter wide! It also allows the build to fit onto a wider variety of shelving. In closed form, there is no open back to the model which allows it to be easily placed next to other buildings in a city layout and gives a display option that is less wide.

With the interior, I wanted to reference many different areas of science that a real life university might offer such as astronomy, anatomy, geology, archeology, botany, and chemistry. I also wanted to include more common parts of a university such as a library, classroom, and a grand entrance.

13 minifigures are included with a mix of teachers and students as well as 7 stickers for some optional extra detail!

Thanks for taking a look, I hope you enjoy all the details it has to offer and can get a sense for its scale. Please let me know if you have any thoughts, questions, or feedback below! I’d love to hear from you. To see more projects from me, feel free to follow me on Instagram at @kingcreationslego
