23. No, tripartite is the "Base/Middle/Top" of traditional building form

I love good tripartite division, but there is no reason to build such a tradition-bound facade on a CA university campus in 2021.

I don't have the time or desire to figure out how much more area is required to match the bed count. Double? Probably at least.

I'm more curious to know WHY the University is allowing this design to go forward. Maybe they can't afford to look a gift horse in the mouth.
