Hi everyone,
I've just finished making the school in which I teach. It's as I see our school in about a year's time, when all this Covid madness has hopefully disappeared, hence no hand sanitisers and fully active classes with no social distancing!
I began making the structure in August and finished most of it by Christmas. I then worked on the interiors of the specific rooms (Library, PE Hall, Computer Room, Staff Room, etc.) and furniture in all other rooms.
The last big job was to fill it with minifigures. I tried to make it more interesting by having different classes engaged with different activities, in most cases whatever accessories I happened to have dictated the activities, such as Jedi training, Ninja training, wizard training and so on. I tried to think what would the children in the school love to do, and my 7 year old boy was a great help with this!

This is an aerial view of most of the school, I'm not tall enough to get a shot that fits it all in. The separate rooms in the top right of the pic are the upstairs rooms.
