INRTU campus development strategy

Abstract

Three models of university spaces could be considered. A dispersed model is historical universities integrated into the urban building layout with academic buildings and residences scattered throughout the city. The second model, the opposite one, is an autonomous suburban campus. Core functions are compactly located on a large site: study-residence-recreation-suburban campus in natural environment. INRTU refers to the third model: this is large campus with a full range of educational and residential functions integrated into the city. The arterial street and the bridge adjoin the site. However, the problems could be observed: lack of functions organization, places and internal street network. The university is beneficially located on the river bank, but does not provide access to it. It is interfered with low value individual building and railway. The campus suggests real opportunity to form a full-fledged recreational framework of the territory – a green cross, but garages and parking lots provide an obstacle. It is necessary to form a dense internal street network to ensure the presupposed level of territory coherence, and on its basis to build and develop technology parks, cultural center for young people, a water-sports and information-library complexes in the form of detached buildings. To form the university embankment. To overcome the environment fragmentation, and establish effective connections with adjoining universities and the academic center.
