The academy's traditions have influenced other institutions because of its age and unique mission. It was the first Caphirian college to have an accredited civil-engineering program and the first to have class rings, and its technical curriculum was a model for later engineering schools. Moncalieri's student body has a unique rank structure and lexicon. All cadets reside on campus and dine together en masse on weekdays for breakfast and lunch. | The academy's traditions have influenced other institutions because of its age and unique mission.

. . . | The Moncalieri Academy of Military Science is located on a sprawling campus that covers several hundred acres. The campus is surrounded by high walls and gates that are guarded by military police at all times. Within the walls is the main campus, known as the ''latibulum'' which literally means "lair". The campus is a blend of traditional and modern architecture, with hints of its militaristic roots evident in its design. It is situated on a hill overlooking the Tunic Valley, with several smaller satellite campuses located throughout the valley. | ||
The campus is comprised of five main buildings for the different academic departments, as well as numerous other buildings. The campus is meticulously maintained, with well-manicured lawns and gardens | |||
The headquarters building at the academy is called ''ex'' ''custodiat'' - literally "to keep under watch". It is a large, imposing structure that towers over the rest of the campus. It is a modern, sleek building with a black marble exterior, adorned with the insignia of the Imperium. Inside, the building is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and facilities, including a command center, meeting rooms, offices, and a spacious auditorium. The upper floors of the building are reserved for the Superintendent and Commandant of Cadets - as well as a number of other administrative and support staff, who oversee all operations of the academy. From the top of the tower, one can see the entire campus and surrounding landscape, giving the commandant a strategic advantage in maintaining order and security on campus. It is also home to a number of important ceremonial spaces, such as the Academy's main auditorium, which is used for official assemblies, presentations, and other large events. The building is meant to be both a symbol of the Academy's strength and authority, as well as a practical hub for the administration and management of the institution. | |||
In addition to the main academic buildings, there are also several other structures on campus that are used for various purposes. | |||
The gymnasium at the Moncalieri Academy of Military Science is a large, modern facility equipped with state-of-the-art fitness equipment and facilities for various sports and physical training activities. The gymnasium is a hub of activity on campus, with cadets participating in mandatory physical training sessions several times a week as well as participating in a variety of intercollegiate sports teams. The gymnasium includes a spacious weight room, a cardio training area, multiple basketball courts, a swimming pool, a rock climbing wall, and a track for running and field sports. In addition to the main gymnasium facilities, there are also several smaller training rooms and studios for specialized activities such as yoga and martial arts. | |||
The dining hall is a large, cavernous space located in the center of campus, across from the headquarters building. It is designed to accommodate the entire cadet population at once, with rows upon rows of long tables and benches where cadets eat their meals. Consequently, it is known as the inrigufoThe space is utilitarian in design, with white tiled walls and floors and a high ceiling with fluorescent lighting. The atmosphere is loud and boisterous, with cadets chatting and laughing as they eat their meals. Meals are served cafeteria-style, with cadets forming a line to choose from a variety of hot and cold dishes. The food is nutritious and filling, with a focus on protein and carbohydrates to fuel the physically demanding lifestyle of the cadets. In addition to the dining hall, there are several smaller cafes and snack bars scattered throughout the campus. | |||
There is also a large library where cadets can study and do research. The library is equipped with a vast collection of books, periodicals, and electronic resources that support the academy's curriculum and research needs. The library's collections cover a wide range of subjects, including military history, engineering, science, and the humanities. It's also home to a number of specialized collections, including a rare books collection, a map collection, and a collection of manuscripts and archival materials. The library's reading room is a popular spot for cadets to study and work on group projects, and the library's computer lab provides access to a wide range of online resources and software tools. The library is staffed by a team of librarians and support staff who are dedicated to helping cadets succeed in their studies. | |||
Finally, there are several dormitories where cadets can live while they are attending the academy. The dormitories are organized into "companies," with each company housing around 100 cadets. The dormitories are spartan and basic, with each cadet having a small, single room with a bed, desk, and storage space. The dormitories are strictly supervised by upperclass cadets, who serve as "tactical officers" responsible for enforcing the academy's strict code of conduct. There are also several "privilege dorms" reserved for cadets who have demonstrated exceptional performance in academics, athletics, or military leadership. These dorms offer slightly more luxurious amenities, such as private bathrooms and larger rooms. In addition to the dormitories, there are also several buildings on campus that house classrooms, laboratories, and other facilities necessary for the academic and military training of the cadets. | |||
