What will the “New Campus” look like?
The vision for this neighborhood is to create a campus of enduring quality intended to complement East and West campuses. The master design is concerned with details of building size, shape, massing, relationship to open space, environmental sustainability and natural lighting. However, the appearance of specific buildings has not been decided. What has been decided is that the design will not be exclusively neo-Georgian brick found on East Campus or neo-Gothic stone found on West Campus. The intention is that the character will be respectful of Duke’s traditions and convey a Duke-like style. When specific projects are commissioned and architects begin building design in early 2009, the exterior appearance of buildings on this campus will become more clearly defined.
