All design professionals involved in campus design will benefit from this book because it's the only guide that shows how to integrate planning and design of campus buildings with their landscapes and sites. Responding to the obsolescence overtaking many college facilities and grounds, this timely source also shows how to incorporate the latest technology and educational trends into modern campus design.
All aspects of campus building and landscape planning are discussed, including environmental, conservation, and aesthetic considerations. Attention is given to both new construction and revitalization of the existing architectural heritage. Users will find coverage of: How computerized libraries, changing physical education and recreational needs, and new alternative campus housing affect design. Fully illustrated case studies of the est in recent campus designs and redesigns. Techniques of design rehabilitation, repair, and renovation of existing campuses.
Design strategies are included for instructional buildings, research facilities, libraries and information centers, campus housing, sports and recreational facilities, and support facilities. Included are approaches for assuring a synergistic relationship between a campus and its surrounding community, as well as for meeting budget targets and assuring long-term durability.
