Use tag landuse=institutional to delineate areas of land used for institutional purposes, see

How to map
Where possible, it is preferred to map as an area, otherwise a node at the centre of the area can be used. Either way, put the tag landuse=institutional on the area or node.
The area can contain the whole institutional zone together with parking lots and streets.
When not to use
This tag should only be used for areas which are – as a whole – primarily used for institutional purposes. It should not be used sweepingly for larger areas containing institutional infrastructure at different places but most of the area as a whole not being used institutionally.
