Chapter 530 Baymardian Institute of Science & Engineering
Landon was currently making his way towards District C, which was where all the administrative government buildings and schools were.
Right now, he was heading towards the newly built 'Baymardian Institute of Science and Engineering' (B.I.S.E).
.
'Bam!'
"Your majesty, what do you think?
Is it up to par with what you had in mind?
Will this do?"
-_-
Stepping out of his car, Landon was Immediately bombarded with several questions for the excited Tim.
Landon just looked at the overly excited man before him and smiled wryly.
As for Tim, he quickly took out several documents and laid them flat on Landon's car while drinking a hot beverage from one of the local cafes.
It was still wintertime, so of course it would be cold.
For sure, he could've gone in and taken a seat in one of the classrooms in the institute... but if he did so, he wouldn't be able to properly show Landon all external attributes of the institute.
Looking at his design, Landon was thoroughly impressed.
Just outside the institute, was a massive parking lot... Which had places for handicaps, staff, students and so on.
In short, the parking lot was so huge that Landon was sure that it could accommodate over 500 cars.
And to make it easier for those without cars, there was also a bus stop there too.
Of course within the Institute, there were several parking lots around each building.
But for now, no one except for the lecturers and workers.... would be allowed to drive in with their cars.
For sure, before they drove in.... security would have to check their cars and perform other security measures... just in case.
One shouldn't forget that Baymard currently had spies coming in and out of the place... So it was only right for them to go through all of this.
Because just like this new institute, all the other newly established schools we're highly guarded as well.
Without a doubt, in the future... Baymard would allow students to park within the school itself, and even live in the school dormitories too.
But now definitely wasn't the time for it.
As for the students, of course only Baymardians were allowed into the institute... At least not until the entire world had been unified.
By then, every institute within Baymard would be opened to all.
.
Anyway, there was a large parking lot just outside the institute's main gate.
Of course the gate itself had 6 massive lanes for people to drive in or out the place daily..... 3 for going on and 3 for cars driving out.
And at the top of the gate, one could see the name of the institute written boldly.
'Baymard's Institute of Science \u0026 Engineering'
Everything looked more or less as Landon expected it to be.
"Your majesty....what do you think?" Tim said enthusiastically.
"Hmm... It's good!
Well done!..... It all looks great!!!
The exterior is just as I wanted it to be.
Now, let's go into the institute."
With that, both men walked into the institute.
Landon inspected each building from top to bottom alongside Tim for more than 3 hours before finally calling it quits.
Overall, the entire place really looked a lot similar to his university back on earth.
The institute would cater to all engineering majors and science majors too.
There were several cafeterias, as well as several classrooms, halls, conference rooms, offices and laboratories for both the students and lecturers.
The buildings were indeed beautifully crafted and looked extremely inspirational as well.
There were also statues around that looked like to its, as well as a statue of Landon too.
After all, as the founder of the institute... It definitely made sense to create a statue of him as well.
In short, Landon was utterly impressed with what he saw.
As for Tim, he too was overly excited when he heard Landon praise for their work as well.
.
"Your majesty, when will the institute be opened for all?"
"Hmmm... I want the first semester to begin this Spring.
But of course before they, we need to make the necessary preparations.
Meaning that we need to release the news now, so as to let people prepare for admittance into the institute.
So we need to go through the results of those who just graduated the December... Or even a while back and look through it all to see their weak points and strong points.
This way, we could aid and guide them In choosing the right engineering discipline for them."
"Ahh... I see your majesty.
So just like the other schools around Baymard that enroll graduates..... Will this one also allow them to work part-time, as well as study too?"
"Yes... It will operate in that same manner." Landon said while stroking his chin.
One should know that in this era at the age of 15, everyone had already come of age... And many people felt it was somewhat ridiculous to go to school without working.
Take for example healers... They would learn under a master and take a certain percentage every time they assisted in healing a patient.
And the same thing went for knights as well.
They too got paid by their master monthly, just by training and being strong.
So with Baymard's s institutes and schools, if Landon didn't find a way to pay the students, then most of them wouldn't feel like going there at all.
After all, many of them would just prefer to look for any engineering job right off the bat after graduation.
That's why Landon had decided to make an additional rule from here on out that only graduates who were currently enrolled in this institute, could get engineering jobs in the lower region.
And while they were studying, they were to also take on several high paying part-time jobs as junior engineers within many of the industries within the lower region.
This way, they would be able to get money to pay for their bills and so on.
Landon wanted to slowly ease in the concept of a 'university' to the people of this era, so that in future... People would find it normal to continue schooling even if they didn't get paid.
Now the official adult age was 15, but Landon hoped that all of this would soon change it with time... As he slowly wanted to change it to 19.
But for now, he would offer the people both knowledge and work.
