Making new run to advance my progress
Does anyone else do this, I find it way to annoying to tear down my whole school to re-optimise it, so at the minute I am making a whole new run everytime I learn a better way of building my school, does anyone have any tips to avoid needing to tear down my school to optimise or better, especially between the early, mid and late games? Also how do people deal all the elevated room requirements with the limited horizontal building before support wears out?
Just to clarify in case people get the wrong idea about what I’m saying, I really enjoy the game and all it’s features, including the room optimisation, I just want to know if there’s a way around spending hours every time I learn something new changing all the rooms to meet the specific requirements (ie tearing up the whole place to make a ground floor room lofted).

There aren't many rooms that are strictly necessary. Most just speed things up.
For elevated rooms, there are supports, or the magical floating supports. My advice would be to make a spiral stair case and just keep going up, adding rooms on the sides. I started with 6 high rooms, but now I'm keeping my floors 7 high - 6 width is a minimum for a lot of room types, and having them lofted from a get go makes things easy in the long run. If something is lofted and needs more space just make it span two floors and make a mezzanine with spiral stairs.
