CHAPTER 1

CAMPUS PLANNING

David J. Neuman, FAIA, LEED BD + C

OVERVIEW

Campus planning, architecture, and landscape are critical topics at every university and college with a physical setting, for three important reasons:

• They create the actual environment that supports the mission and goals of the institution.
• They define the tangible identity that the institution portrays to its alumni, faculty, students (both current and future), and the general public.
• They assist in portraying the level of sustainability commitment made by the institution.

In short, an academic institution's campus is a critical component of its very existence and survival. This volume is dedicated to translating this important fact into practical terms at the levels of planning, design, and implementation. The chapter authors have each contributed to the phenomenon known as the campus through specific plans, buildings, and landscapes, each of which has in its own way contributed to the further development of this unique environment.

While designing the University of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson described his goal as the creation of an Academical Village (see ). This term expressed Jefferson's own views on education and planning, but it also summarizes a basic trait of American higher education from the colonial period to the twenty-first century: the conception of colleges and universities as communities in themselvesin effect, as cities in microcosm. This reflects educational patterns and ideals which, although derived principally from Europe, have developed in distinctively American ways.
