Description: To work over the long term, a great campus must "ennoble the past, enhance the present, and provide for the future by balancing continuity and change". This book will show you how to achieve these goals as you learn to integrate planning and design of campus buildings with their landscapes and sites; incorporate the latest technology and educational trends into your designs; and ensure that the campus will enjoy a synergistic relationship with the surrounding community. Among the subjects explored are how computerized libraries, changing physical education and recreational needs, and new alternative campus housing affect design; techniques of design rehabilitation, repair, and renovation of existing campuses; design strategies for instructional buildings, research facilities, libraries and information centers, sports facilities, campus housing, and more; how to integrate environmental, conservation, and aesthetic considerations within the same project; how to provide long-term durability and economy in operations, and meet project and construction budget targets; and PLUS fully illustrated case studies of the best in recent campus designs and redesigns - with in-depth analyses of why they work so well and how they achieve their goals.
