Boundary Campus Threshold: Urban University Campus Boundaries

Abstract

University campuses, located in urban settings, develop specific characteristics based on the urban fabric around them. As universities meet their physical, political, and social campus boundaries, they must decide how to progress. University stakeholders, from students & faculty to neighbors & alumni, engage the campus boundary as they traverse between city and campus. Thus, the campus edge becomes a physical manifestation of overlapping and interconnected stakeholder identities.
