A study of campus decentralization and the dispersal of facilities at 10 universities focused on institutional needs and strategies in campus growth and organization and on trends in this area. Individual institutional concerns and efforts are noted. (MSE)

Enrollments, the competition for space, and the cooperation in the use of space in future campus planning activities are discussed. Campuses will only begin to think about cohesion or cooperation, it is suggested, if they can be responsive to three problems: enrollment declines, energy conservation, and economic difficulties. (MLW)

The sports facilities situation has become critical at many universities. The methods for evaluating athletics and recreation physical plants, their utilization, and needs are reviewed, along with the creation of a successful sports and recreation master plan. (MLW)

Questions some fundamental assumptions of historical methods of space guidelines in college facility planning, and offers an alternative approach to space projections based on a new benchmarking method. The method, currently in use at several institutions, uses space per faculty member as the basis for prediction of need and space allocation. (MSE)

To assist universities in developing or redeveloping surplus campus or endowment property, these factors in the process are outlined and discussed: development decisions, working with a developer, ground leasing, unrelated taxable income issues, creating a university land management office, some recent experiences, and research and development…

Common issues in university-community relationships, such as neighborhood problems and their solutions, facility expansion, traffic and parking, crime, housing, recreation facilities, and city services, are discussed. Findings from a study of the university-community relationship at Ohio State University are outlined. (MSE)

Transportation systems management (TSM) programs are discussed, particularly the 1977 program of the University of California, San Francisco, which led to traffic reduction and improved vehicle flow. The city's implementation plan for a similar TSM program for 14 educational institutions and hospitals is described. (MLW)

An overview of university industry research linkages and examples of how these linkages are occurring in various university and university-affiliated facility types are presented. Facility types are defined to include space used by either universities or industries including jointly owned facilities, innovation or incubator centers, supercenters,…

The relationships between demographic trends, student characteristics (age, ethnic background, marital status), enrollment trends, and demand for on-campus and off-campus housing are examined. Effects of availability of housing on enrollment are also discussed. Institutional policy implications are outlined. (MSE)
