CAMPUS BTH
ett gestaltningsförslag och en studie av begreppet campus
This text answers the questions how do we define what a campus is, how the concept of the campus came to exist and how it is used today, and how the Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH) campus can be designed according to site conditions and the conclusions drawn from case studies at Chalmers University of Technology and Karlstad University. The purpose of the case studies is to gain insight into their campuses advantages and disadvantages. This finally results in an interpretation of how the Blekinge Institute of Technology campus can be planned. A campus is the area of land on which a college or university and its surrounding buildings resides on. Campus as a concept meant a field at first, it later evolved at American universities due to their design of college campuses. Today the meaning has changed slightly and is more generally aimed at college campuses. Evaluation of Campus BTH results in that a further expansion and development of the campus in and around its current location, Gräsvik, is the best possible solution
