Buildings from multiple campuses with the same operator

Question

Hi; I am experiencing challenges harvesting building from a university with many campuses. The campuses are linked with a relation type=site and tagged amenity=university and the sites themselves are named uniquely while the operator= is the same.

[out:json];

area[name="Western Cape"]->.b;
way(area.b)[operator='Cape Peninsula University of Technology'];
map_to_area -> .a;

out body;
>;
out skel qt;

Executes correctly and returns the sites but

[out:json];

area[name="Western Cape"]->.b;
way(area.b)[operator='Cape Peninsula University of Technology'];
map_to_area -> .a;

way["building"](area.a);

out body;
>;
out skel qt;

does not return isolated buildings. Only buildings that are enclosed within University Grounds are returned and buildings not on "traditional" grounds are excluded - this is even though isolated buildings are University Grounds. How must the query change to accommodate isolated buildings not on "traditional" University Grounds? Are the Tags effective or should these change? Must University Grounds be a separate area bigger than features - such as building - it contains?

Many of the buildings are mapped as multipolygons so you need to include relation(area.a)["building"] too. I'm seeing isolated buildings mapped as ways, such as 253456002

[out:json][timeout:30];

(area[name="Western Cape"] ->.b;
way(area.b)[operator="Cape Peninsula University of Technology"];
map_to_area -> .a;
 way['building'](area.a);
 relation["building"]["type"="multipolygon"](area.a);
);

might do the necessary. I'll confirm at a later date. Thank you.
