===== Descriptions =====


  * A **Library** is just a collection of books that can allow an untrained person to make a Knowledge check – although only to find the answer to easy questions in a field.  Some Libraries (with books that cost extra) can add a bonus to a specific Knowledge Roll.  A library might run a 'Copper School' on the side as a way of supplementing their income.
  * A **Menagerie** is just a small Zoo; most of the animals are pretty and innocuous rather than large or dangerous.  It has both entertainment and educational value.  
  * **Observatory** – complete with a telescope for observing the heavens.  Generally of interest to those who study the sky - Astrologers, Astronomers, Navigators, Weather Watchers as well as Academics and Mages of all sorts.
  * **Museum** – A collection of Curios that  is both entertaining and educational.  It might be of assistance to some scholars, particularly when used in conjunction with a library.
  * **Zoo** – a collection of larger animals, some of which may be quite dangerous.
  * **School** –   A school teaches general education until the age of 14/15.  All schools teach reading, writing and sums.   Some, according to the needs of their students parents, teach other general skills and philosophies as well as well.  
  * **Sword School** - Sword Schools teach armour and weapons skills and don't (generally) teach a normal school curriculum.  They may teach a duelling style as well. (1x Unit Light foot)
  * **College** – A **finishing school** for characters from from the age of 15 onwards, many incorporate a School for basic education, but are able to continue  class or specific skill training.  An Academic College specialises in Craft/Profession/Knowledge skills; a Bardic College specialises in Performance; a Magic College in magic and the arcane; a Military College in various military skills, styles and feats (2x Units Light Foot). All Colleges provide nice accommodation for their principle.
  * **Academy** – advanced education.  See College for specialist areas.  All Academies  provide good accommodation for their principle. A military Academy is good for 1x unit of Light foot and 1x Unit of light Cavalry.
  *   * **University** – The pinnacle of educational establishments – often made up of a collection of schools, colleges and academies.  All  universities provide good accommodation for their principle and founders.  (University is good for 2x units of light foot)
  
===== Notes =====

Most staff and students live in the local community - staff can generally afford Nice accommodation with most students in either Average or Poor accommodation.  Every academic building offers Average accommodation  for staff - although a 'Furnishings' upgrade allows you to upgrade one apartment to Nice accommodation for a  resident character.
