You've gotta account for faculty, support staff, students, classrooms; sparring arenas, the possibility of graduated huntsman living on-site for various reasons; a large chunk of the CCT/Beacon Tower is probably servers, we know there''s at least a few floors dedicated to the international call center or whatever.

Much of the external bulk if buildings is actually supports for the large buildings, as soon on many old castles.

Then there's parking for student-owned vehicles, the landing pad and storage for the airships the academy uses to transport people, any pilots they employ (they likely don't contract out considering they are constantly sending out and receiving student teams going for missions)

Maintenance areas, storage rooms, the school is basically a combination school, town, and military base with all the people who it's more efficient to keep on-site than have them travel back and forth between the school and the city every day.

Atlas Academy is likely even larger since it is the base for an ACTUAL military.
