Campus design is the art of campus planning, the culminating act of those processes and procedures that give form, content, meaning, and delight to the physical environment serving higher education. Designs can communicate an institution's purpose, presence, and domain; and generate an image charged with symbolism, graced by history. Colleges and universities cover a broad range of human activity and habitation. The campus has a deep-rooted prestige as a place of teaching, learning, and nurturing. Conjuring images of cloistered quadrangles, of sunny lawns, of wood-paneled libraries cloaked in an ethereal hush, it is a word viscerally charged with centuries of scholarly tradition. And yet it is also a place of cutting-edge science, of youth, vibrancy, and energy. It is this dual nature, this concurrent adherence to tradition and innovation, which renders the physical environment of the university such a redolent, enduring, and dynamic realm. However, it also means that the twenty-first-century campus is a highly challenging and exacting landscape to design and manage successfully. A city in miniature, it must continually respond to external political and fiscal pressures, whilst simultaneously adapting to changing pedagogies and technology.
