IDEAL CAMPUS
The campus is the physical environment created when building is constructed to allow the idea to flourish. A campus has been compared to a city on a small scale because it provides most of the needs for the community. Unlike a city, however, the campus is non-commercial and primarily a place of study. The campus, therefore, ought to be a closely with unified cluster of buildings with intimate pedestrian open spaces providing a unique environment for living and studying it should ideally be a quiet, comfortable oasis apart from the normally Busy, Noisy, Congested World in this sense a campus should be more like a residential suburb or dark than a city
Each of these zones requires different and special study design techniques to plan energy efficient buildings. The energy requirement of building depend upon various factors like comfort levels, location of building usage of building etc.

To provide utility/function, firmness, delight, etc. In/On time and the right price. 2. To provide shelter 3. To admit daylight 4. To exclude/minimize noise 5. To resist snow 6. To exclude rain 7. To resist wind loads 8. To provide ventilation 9. To allow views to create views-prospect 10. To resist soil & hydrostatic pressure 11. To exclude damp 12. To provide external doors for access with security 13. To provide insulation of sound 14. To provide structural safety 15. To provide fire safety 16. To take care of health safety 17. To impart constructional safety 18. To create a desirable environment to perform activities inside and outside the building so as to improve the efficiency and comfort of the user, with an aesthetical background.
Hence, one would provide for all these different consideration in architecture. Creation of an environment inside the building in known as three dimensional architecture, while creation of the same outside the building is known as two dimensional architecture.
Design & detail construction data
Openings & Window
Relatively small operating reduce immense radiation. Windows should be shifted from kech radiation and set high to protect from ground radiation. Openings should be tight closing as protection against high durnal heat. External shades are preferred. Openings should be located on S, N, and to A lesser degree, on E side.
Walls Walls of daytime living area should of heat storing materials; walls of night use rooms of materials with light heat capacity. E and W walls should preferably be shaded high reflective qualities are desirable for both hermal and solar radiation.

Roof Generally, heat storage insulation is best, which uses the fly-wheel of outgoing radiation for daily heat balance. However a shaded, ventilated roof is also applicable, primarily over night user rooms. Water spray or
Shading Devices should be separate from structure, and exposed to wind convection.
Foundation Basement Lithosphere type of houses are possible in this zone.
Mechanical Equipment Equipment should have high operating efficiency in heat producing devices, such as those for cooking.

GROWTH AND CHANGE
Campus design must anticipate, as nearly as possible, the nature of probable growth and change. Providing flexibility and indeterminacy, is perhaps the greatest challenge to the Architect. There are three major aspects to growth and change. (i)First is the overall growth or expansion of facilities caused by increasing enrollment.
(ii)Second is the differential growth that occurs in various areas of the campus along with overall growth.
E2-E3 Technical Architecture Rev date: 11-03-11
For Internal Circulation Only Page: 9 BSNL, India (iii)The third aspect is the internal flexibility required for changing uses of spaces and services.
A coherence and sense of identity for all parts must be maintained in the design as a whole while certain parts remain incomplete. To do so demands a discipline, a kind of pre- designed matrix or systems fabric that will insure order in future development, without being too restrictive.
SIZE The ideal size for a campus depends upon individual circumstances. (i) The demands on the campus (ii) The location of the campus, the type of instruction, all influence the size. Experience has shown that when an ultimate size was predetermined, the university often continued to grow beyond what was originally considered best. (iii) A major controlling factor is walking distance. Ten minutes from hostel to classroom is considered a maximum allowable walking distance. Three to five minutes is optimum. When growth endangers convenience, comfort and efficiency..
HUMAN NEEDS
In an ideal campus environment, regardless of size, classrooms and living spaces should be related for the convenience of pedestrian occupants and closely linked to the qualities of the natural setting. Since a campus is for people, it must be designed to the measure of man himself, his physical dimensions, his senses his habits, responses and impulses. Moreover, the mind of man his intellect, instincts and ambitions, must be satisfied. To merely accommodate him is not enough. Students and staff alike should be delighted and inspired if the campus environment is to fulfill its potential.
Unfortunately, however, few buildings on university campuses in India give little evidence of having been planned with proper regard for such obvious factors as (I) prevailing winds, (II) solar radiation and (III) Monsoon rains that should have influenced orientation form, use of materials etc. appropriateness and simple beauty testify more than anything else to the importance of understanding the needs of man and the careful application of design principles to campus design problems so that those needs may be met.

1. CONCENTRIC PATTERN OF GROWTH
The central area of core of the campus be comes tightly enclosed and successive rings of development shut in and prevent selective expansion.
3. THE ZONAL PATTERN OF GROWTH
Typical plan; zones allocated specifically to academic, residential or recreational; handicapping (something that hinders or is a disadvantage) or something integration of campus activities.

4. MOLECULAR PATTERN OF GROWTH Growth accomplished thru addition of self contain units or molecules, each a microcosm of the whole. The campus is complete at each stage of growth, but the system is perhaps limited to a many centered campus rather than a centralized type.

6. LINEAR PATTERN OF GROWTH
The pattern chosen for the University of Bath; the central core can expand at either end as the University grows; existing elements extend outwards and grow independently of one another. New ones are added to extensions of the core; which never becomes shut in as in the concentric pattern.
Approximate mile diameter (10 minute walking distance) Circulation routes Lines of expansion Specialized academic (mainly lecture rooms) General academic (mainly lecture rooms) School nuclei Restaurant bases Core facilities (library, auditorium, theatre, etc) Social centers ( students Union, etc.) Residential

CHANGE IN APPROCH AFFECTING FORM
Scale has been respected and there has been a continuing consistency in roof lines, missing, relationships and fenestration. General consistency has prevailed in selecting materials, in creating a series of design recalls and themes, and in relating proportion, color and texture. Full respect has been given to neighboring buildings and existing spatial qualities in the sitting of buildings. Each new building has been considered as a completing element or further refinement of spatial order and sequence of campus spaces. Each new building and the landscape are blended so the spatial order is strength ended rather than being disturbed.
EXAMPLE:
INDIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY KANPUR Most important to the Institute was the decision to establish a curriculum designed to evoke interaction between students and teacher in different disciplines. The old idea of separating activities and planning divisions was discarded, and planning by function, rather than by discipline, controls the development of the campus.
NATURE OF THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY The site is flat with a canal on one side and a transportation route on the other, linking it to the Industrial centre of Kanpur. The academic complex, centrally located on the site, a single entity, supported by an infra-structure of buildings, spaces, landscape and service system. The arrangement provides spatial variety within an ordered unity. Pedestrian and vehicular traffic are completely segregated to keep the core of the academic complex free from traffic noise and conflict. Places of interaction in corridors and courts are provided along the pedestrian movement system which is on more than one level. The building is harmonious in character utilizing exposed concrete frames and local naturally exposed red and brick curtain walls. Floors are mostly of low maintenance terrazzo. The building forms are open with linking corridors and spaces penetrating through, uniquely providing shelter from an extremely hot sun, yet allowing welcome breezes.

The campus provides for 2400 students and 500 staff with the possibility of doubling the present capacity. The residential areas adjoin the academic complex to provide a planned neighborhood unit with provision for such community needs as Shops primary school Hospital Post office and bank. The area of the campus is 800 acres.
SIGNIFICANCE FOR TODAY
Most importantly, the Institution established progressive objectives in the beginning. Secondly. Building program was prepared stating the specific requirements for physical facilities, proportionate with the needs and objectives of the educational program. The building program provided for phasing of construction according to the expanding requirements of the growing institution.
OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING FORM The nature of site. Climatic conditions. Available materials and Local Technology.
While pre established patterns of an older campus which must be appreciated and complemented in further growth, often determine the form and approach; in the design of new campuses, the educational philosophy or the nature of the site usually has the greatest influence.
