Puerto Rico
Does a building work when it has no colonist?
The rulebook states this directly, and forum players agree.

No. Only occupied buildings use their function, and a newly built building stays empty until the next Mayor phase (unless a University gives it a colonist). Its power can be wasted if its role is chosen before it is staffed.
