The maps illustrate how the Biology School at a particular university is planned to change between 2015 and 2020.
Overall, the site is expected to undergo considerable redevelopment, including the construction of new academic facilities, the reorganization of some buildings, and the reduction of green areas to make space for functional infrastructure such as a staff car park.
In 2015, the northern section of the campus contained a large area of trees, while the central library stood in the middle of the site. To the east of the library were the drama center and the indoor sports hall. In the southern part, the teaching building, cafe, lecture room, and IT center were located, with additional trees occupying the south-western corner.
By 2020, several significant changes are planned. The wooded area in the north will largely be cleared and replaced by two new buildings labelled “Lab” and “Office”, although a few trees will remain. The drama center to the east of the library will be converted into a music center, while the indoor sports hall will remain unchanged. In the south-west, the trees will be removed to make way for a staff car park, and the teaching facilities will expand, with an additional teaching building and more lecture rooms constructed near the cafe. The IT center will also be enlarged slightly.
In summary, the development plan focuses on expanding academic and support facilities while reducing green spaces to accommodate new functional buildings and parking areas.
