Campus Planning
Organizing a site into buildings, zones, circulation and room for change.
Campus planning arranges a healthcare site as a whole: how buildings and utility structures are placed, how the campus is zoned into clinical, support, access and future development areas, and how vehicles, pedestrians and services circulate between buildings. It settles access points, drop-off, parking and loading, connects buildings, and reserves land and infrastructure for phased future growth - the site-level framework within which a single facility plan sits.
What this service covers

- Campus connections and links between buildings
- Utilities routing and campus infrastructure
- Future expansion and phasing reservation
- Campus security, wayfinding and landscape
- Emergency and ambulance access at campus level
- Documented campus plan
Our process
- Assess the site, its constraints and access
- Zone the campus by function and future need
- Place buildings and set their connections
- Plan circulation, parking and service routes
- Reserve infrastructure and expansion capacity
- Document the campus plan
Frequently asked questions
What does campus planning include?
Site zoning, building placement, campus circulation, access and parking, utilities routing and the reservation of space for future expansion.
When is it needed?
Very early in a multi-building project, before individual building plans, once the site and programme are known.
What information is required?
The site and its constraints, the programme and phasing, surrounding access, and the intended future growth.
What are the deliverables?
A campus plan with zoning, circulation, phasing and expansion guidance for the site.
How is it different from facility planning?
Campus planning organizes multiple buildings and the whole site; facility planning organizes what happens inside a single facility.
