administrative buildings
Bureaucratic workplace structures
Administrative buildings are structures housing offices where organizations conduct management, coordination, and paperwork rather than manufacturing, retail, or direct services.
Government complexes, university administration halls, and corporate headquarters are typical examples: The administrative buildings are clustered around the main quad.
The term often distinguishes such structures from operational facilities like factories, dormitories, or hospitals.
