Campus Spaces, 2018

Most colleges are always in the midst of planning, building, renovating, or maintaining an infrastructure project. This special issue examines how campus buildings and grounds help colleges do their jobs — or, in some cases, get in the way.

A well-designed space can improve interaction between a college’s students and its faculty members. It can give first-generation students a place to congregate and a taste of home. And it can help a rapidly expanding university serve a growing student body without having to choose between function and aesthetics.

With a focus on “flexibility for the future,” this special report also examines some practical questions colleges are facing today. Do faculty members really need private offices? Can “P3s” — public-private partnerships — offer a viable way to build more efficiently? Is modular construction an option? (It worked for Harvard.)
