This document explores the problem of planning a smoothly functioning university campus capable of responding effectively to growth and development. It is intended primarily for the decision-makers of Indian higher education, but it may be of interest to university authorities and planner-architects in general. The first sections deal with the philosophy of higher education, and explain how a properly designed campus is essential to a successfully functioning university. Results are then provided of studies of campus designs in India, as well as in other countries. Faults in existing systems of organizing construction are examined, and the desiderata of an appropriate system are indicated. The procedure for success in campus development is set out in great detail.
