Well, keep one thing in mind. The Worcester Preparatory Institute campus is a rebuilt replica of WPI as it was in 1991. Many of the features of the current WPI campus were never built in the UF universe, because the school was vaporized first.

The renovations to Higgins Labs were never completed. There is no student center. The Fountain of Useless Knowledge doesn't exist, because West Street was never closed. The Wedge Booths were never taken out, and the lower wedge isn't handicapped-accessible. And (as evidenced by the Liza/Amanda/Azalynn scene) there's still a pathway to Olin between Alumni Gym and Higgins Labs. Etc, etc.
