Based on the scale that Lacey used in measuring the college, we can infer that the building in the drawing would measure 309 mm.

Lacey uses a scale of 3 millimeters : 2 meters which means that every 2 meters in real life is 3 millimeters on the drawing.

Using direct proportion, the drawing length of the building is

3 mm        :          2 m

xmm         :           206 m

2x = 618

x = 618/ 2

= 309 mm

In conclusion, the building measures 309 mm on the drawing.
