ABSTRACT

Conventionally campuses are settings for academic institutions but, since World War II and particularly in the United States, they have come to include business campuses with ever-more extravagant versions emerging as business leaders have assumed the positions in society previously occupied – in Europe, at least – by royalty. And business campuses can be subdivided into those that are estates for an individual enterprise and those that are termed business parks – landscape settings that can be retrofitted with buildings that house a number of smaller businesses.
