A building is meant to last for awhile. Say it's 20 years.

$180MM / (20 yrs x 1800 people) = $5000/yr/person

Is that unreasonable?

It's unreasonable for a building to last only 20 years regardless of price. I work in a nearly 100 year old building and live in a 120 year old house. Even a modestly-priced building of that scale should last many decades.

Per your sibbing comment, that's 100% of the price of their tuition at a Canadian university.
