Quick introduction: My name is April, my Sims' university is Lirpa University (my first name spelled backwards). I'm currently getting my masters right now, thus I may not have time to complete the contest, especially since I'll be going to a major conference in a couple months. However, I love the idea of this contest and I've been meaning to getting around to sprucing up Lirpa U. And I want to make sure you have the minimum number of contestants you need.
Here is the first entry, the Dorm: Olympic Hall.
This dorm is made for the athletes of Lirpa U.
Here are the floors starting with the top floor. I usually have dorms with 8 rooms and this one wasn't going to be an exception. The top floor has 6 bedrooms for students, most of which can fit double beds. The bathroom is unisex.
On the main floor, the kitchen/cafeteria is to the left, while the study area and 2 more rooms are to the right.
In the basement, the students may lounge and have fun in the rec room. There's a big screen tv to watch all the big games and sports events. Hi-def stereo system. And a pool table. There's also a small fitness room with an attached bathroom. After working out you wouldn't want to be all sweaty and stanky. Within the bathroom there is also a sauna, for further relaxation of those athlete's muscles.
Here are a couple images of the main floor:
The outdoor area has a lap pool and basketball hoop as well as a hot tub.
Here is the average student's room. Each student has a desk, desk chair, a bed, and a dresser. There is space in most rooms to add a one-tiled hobby or decorative item of their choosing. The students can also customize their own room with whatever bedspread they want, as well as adding rugs and decorative things on top of their dresser or walls.
And finally, here is a closer look at the basement rec room and fitness area.
Notes:
Added 5 pieces of extra foundation off of the study area to get to the outside patio/pool area.
Added no pieces of outside wall. However, I did excavate the ground under the shell of the building to make the basement. I did not see any rules that said that couldn't be done.
