Open campus

摘要

Over the past few decades universities have embraced a much more outward looking perspective beyond the confines of the traditional campus model. Campuses are no longer seen as isolated citadels but engaging places that are more open and inviting, providing more student-friendly spaces with stronger connections to the wider community. The idea of the open campus has transformed the evolving identity and role of the university within the life of our cities. The campuses that designers inherit are largely already built, so the challenge is how best to adapt, renew and extend them to suit a new generation.
