When Mereth and his architectural assistants back in Khemi had a suitable plan for the new Institute campus, he presented the plans to the Institute's leadership and staff.

In this image, the people are, from left to right: Kaklian, the director of buildings and grounds maintenance; Isur Kuklian, theophore in training, Enlil, and Loma Nalla, an administrator.

More than one person who was at the Institute at that time recall that Enlil enthusiastically supported Mereth's plan, even though it was far more expensive than the plan put forth by Tanheu and his own Keilian designers and advisors. The politics of the whole matter were complex, involving rivalries not only between individuals but between ethnic groups. In the end, Enlil and Mereth won out, though as you will see, a number of the elements of the Keilian plan ended up being incorporated into the final design.
