| Abstract |
The intention of the study is to understand a development process at the changing boundary of university campus, particularly in a metropolitan urban setting a decentralization process from mono-centered layout to multi-centered precinct structure by in-depth case study of the University of California at Berkeley. Through this study, the goal, time, and method of the campus decentralization are thoroughly explored with historical analysis of the campus development in addition to policy-making for changing needs at the campus boundary throughout the years. The case analysis of UC Berkeley campus reveals three formative elements that help to decentralize various functions of the university campus: (1) the natural topography of the site as well as the architectural style of buildings along with spatial arrangement of open space; (2) the programming of core academic uses for teaching and learning as well as the non-core uses moving away from campus centers, such as student residences with their supporting facilities, research and development units, and community interface facilities at the boundary of the campus; (3) the deliberate efforts for strategic decentralization by the university to form a cluster of functional programs and disciplinary academic units. The study concludes that the strategic and long range development plans are an integral part of successful campus planning in the process of expansion from campus core to outlying periphery in order to accommodate the growing university population. But it also states that there are many driving forces to call for growth of the campus, such as long-term land and property acquisition strategy, integrated programming of core academic and non-academic uses, engagement of city’ s planning efforts and private sector investment in a mutual decision-making process. These conclusions also lead to propose that urban university campus be defined as a physical and functional space for both the university population and the city community where not only core academic and supporting activities take place within a boundary of the campus, but also university-associated activities, such as educational program, research and development, and community participation with private corporations influence the campus development and expansion at the boundary. |
