CMP-EICampus

CMP EI

Purpose

Applied to major educational institutions such as universities, colleges and large research campuses. It allows a broad mix of academic, research, residential and support uses to function cohesively as a single campus.

Height & Scale

Story RangeTypical building heights range from 2–8 stories, with the potential for taller academic or research buildings where the campus master plan identifies them. Height transitions down at campus edges near lower‑scale residential neighborhoods.

Building Placement

Build-to (Primary)Buildings are arranged around quads, courtyards and pedestrian streets rather than conventional suburban block patterns. Setbacks vary to create open space networks and reinforce important view corridors. Campus landmarks are situated at prominent locations.

Design Standards

Transparency (Primary)Architectural styles should reflect the institutional character of the campus and be consistent across buildings. Ground floors facing public or campus streets should have transparent façades and active uses. Service areas must be screened and located away from major pedestrian routes.

Permitted Uses

Educational and research uses; housing for students and staff; civic and cultural uses; accessory retail and entertainment uses that support the institution; parking and transportation facilities.

Typical Application

University and college campuses, research institutes, and other large educational facilities that require integrated academic, residential and support spaces.
