So after finishing the second read through of the series, I decided I wanted to get a true feeling for the scale of the place and the first thing I had to do so was Minecraft. So I've been working on it for a while and I'd figure I'd share some of the results.
Three things to keep in mind:
This is Minecraft Java Edition, unmodded, no texture packs. There are somethings it just cannot do, or do so in a nice way, like angles and circles.
I based it on the illustrations in the book more than the text and those don't match as much as you might think. Thus this is not book accurate, and not super accurate to the illustrations either.
It's not done, not by a long shot. Most of what you'll see are mock ups and samples of the overall structure. It's way, WAY too big to do more than that.
With that, I present the Scholomance, done in Minecraft.
Dorm room, generic. No, I didn't model El or Chloe's rooms.
Dorm landing. Only those four doors have actual rooms.
One of the library reading "rooms."
Mezzanine reading room.
Cafeteria.
Maleficaria Studies, just the bare bones of the space right now.
Small classroom.
Language Lab.
Small Alchemy Lab
Workshop
Senior Seminar Labyrinth.
Gym.
Graduation Hall.

This Reddit thread collates all the build journals over on Imgur (how many social spaces can be connected together?). There are a lot more images than these few I posted here. The most recent back up is linked in the last image of Build 11. Feel free to download and explore. If you get running on a server, let me know, I'd love the help to finish it.
