Ideal requirement of Campus planning

5 min walking radius

The campus should be
• Growth and Change Friendly responding to – residential
i. Overall growth or expansion of facilities
caused by increasing enrolment. academic
ii. Differential growth that occurs in various
areas of Institute along with overall growth. Campus
library
iii. Internal flexibility required for changing use of core
spaces and services academic
• Size- A major controlling factor is walking
distance. 10 minutes from hostel to classroom
residential
is considered a maximum allowable walking
distance. 3-5 minutes is optimum.
• Human needs- campus environment should be
related for the convenience of pedestrian
occupants and closely linked to qualities of the 10 min walking radius
natural settings.
N
SITE LAYOUT
• Clustering of development within the campus core
and loop road is encouraged to promote
workability, provide a variety of usable open
spaces, and preserve perimeter lands for future
potential opportunities.
• The campus should look for opportunities to
establish vehicular and pedestrian connections
with adjacent properties to encourage
convenience, amenities, and positive synergies for
its end user.
• Develop a comprehensive network of varied open
spaces that facilitate both formal and informal
interactions.
• Design human-scaled spaces with spatial
sensibilities that relate to the mass, proportion,
and size of surrounding buildings.
• Make the campus inviting and transparent with a
strong sense of arrival.
PEDESTRIAN AND PUBLIC SPACES
• Provide area where students may congregate
informally for discussion and rest.
• Well shaded corridors connecting different
departments.
• Pedestrian paths should be safe, attractive, and Interlinking corridors
inviting and should provide direct connections
between places.
• Informal, visible, and accessible plazas, courtyards,
and outdoor gathering areas should be provided in
between buildings.
• All street furniture (including benches, lighting,
bollards, and waste receptacles) should be
consistent and complementary with the
architectural style and quality of the campus Shaded pedestrian walkways
buildings.
• Water features are encouraged in visually
prominent and ―special ―locations as they
contribute to campus character and its
sustainability.
• Sculptural elements are encouraged in appropriate
public areas as they enhance the building and site
design and also work as a memory point.
Interactive open spaces
 CONCLUSION
While planning campus we should follow urban planning principles like as vista,
sky line, view points, path, edges, and landmarks.etc. So, with the help of these
principles we can create aesthetically good looking, functional, economical and
pleasant campus. Celebrate the distinctive elements of the campus environment
with imaginative ideas, technologies, and processes. It also Assure the
development of a comprehensive program and the integration of design
aesthetics, functionality and flexibility, capital and life-cycle costs, and
sustainability.

• plan for growth and unpredictable change

• On the other hand, their interest in designing for flexibility and growth,
communication networks,
• Integrate present and future needs and build into the existing fabric
sensitively
• Promote a pedestrian friendly campus;
• Maintain the green character of the campus;
• Maintain identify of campus neighborhoods and promote sense of
community.
• Build in an environmentally responsible manner.
 Concept of Walkability
• “Walkability is the extent to which the built environment supports and
encourages walking and cycling by providing for pedestrian and cyclist
comfort and safety, connecting people with varied destinations within a
reasonable amount of time and effort, and offering visual interest in
journeys throughout t he network”.
• It is an important concept in campus design approach. It is a measure of
how friendly an area is for pedestrians. One of the most important
benefits of walkability is the decrease of the automobile footprint from
the community.
