building=dormitory_commons?
I am not familiar with the common term in English, but I would use a word
that describes both: that it's a building serving the dormitories and that
it's a kind of community / administration / services building.

Cheers,

[Tagging] Tagging "commons" style buildings at large dorms

[johnw]

My son moved from a very small dorm facility to a very large dormitory for 
Tokyo University, and of course I was trying to update the facility and ran 
into a couple questions on tagging. 

there are 7 buildings: 6 dorm buildings and the central office/hall

The dorm buildings (the housing part) is straightforward:

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:building%3Ddormitory 


but it offers no guidance on the “commons” building that is also present. It’s 
name, literally translates to “shared building"

The commons building, like most large dorms (i assume) has the management 
office, a large meeting room (in this case, a 150 person auditorium), vending 
machines, communal toiletss, and some kind of pre-pay ticket vending machines- 
for what, I don’t know. maybe the coin laundry machines. it is part office for 
the complex and part “community centre” for the dorm residents - but tagging it 
as either seems wrong. 

I left it as building yes (it is a rough outline, I will realign all the 
buildings later) 

any suggestions on tagging the different amenities as points, or is there some 
appropriate building tag I don’t know of?

I have no idea on if or what to tag this building as, beyond building=yes
