They are not 'straight forward' to build due to the technical skill required and the technical capabilities and quality of facilities needed to do good quality samples with consistent acoustic properties. Most large universities could probably do so with adequate funding.
In what I think was the UK goverment's education gimic before last they came up with the idea of schools provideing community facitities. I don't think it worked to well but one side effect was a number of high quality recording studios were built. There are also various music collages and the like.
