    Default the university modifies it

    Students will study in the office building which is across the compus after the university modifies it, classes will take place in the office building.

    Shall I use passive?

    Thank you for your reply.

    I do not understand why you would even think of using a passive here. I assume that whoever produced this wished to convey something like this message:

    Students will study in the office building which is opposite the main campus after the university has converted it . Classes will then be held in that building.
