The central building at CPI is the main educational building. It's the school part of the campus, with all of the other buildings being the dormitories. It's a ridiculously big building that's like four stories tall, and it's got a massive courtyard in the middle for no reason. I doubt it was built with the intention of becoming a schoolhouse, but whatever.

All of the classes that work with heavy machines or special equipment (or fire hazards) are on the lower floors, while all of the other classes are on the upper floors. In a sense, unless otherwise, you can count on most classes being on the upper floors. It kind of sucks because there's only two elevators and they're both on opposite ends of the building, so it's entirely possible you'll end up going from the first floor, to the fourth floor, to the first... yeah. You'll get a pretty big workout. I've actually set up my schedule to keep as many classes on the same floor (or the first floors) as possible so I don't have to blow a gasket climbing up the damn thing.

The insides are pretty nice. There's generally a lot of good air conditioning except for a couple rooms, which has something to do with some weird HVAC issue of no special description. A lot of people like to take their lunch from the food court south of the east building to the center courtyard and eat there. I always thought it was cool, but kind of eerie. It almost feels like you're eating lunch in a prison, sometimes. There's all these big walls around you, and they're all old gothic stonework. I'm surprised there's no gargoyles, but don't tell Zoey. She freaks out over gargoyles. Like, in a Zoey-way. She likes 'em a lot.

As for classes, I guess it's a pretty normal spread. Like, math classes and biology and whatever. I like the engineering classes because, for a college-oriented school, there's a lot of support and infrastructure for stuff that you'd normally set aside only for the trades.
