The Gymnasium of the Campus, where students studies and practices their Physical
education, and also hand their events

Main Entrance of the Campus, small entrance

Educational building of the campus, 3 storey building

o

The opportunity to broaden the education diversity of this active and historic
London area. Following the principle, of school within schools, the design
generates natural patterns of division within highly functional spaces which
give each of the school a distinct identity, both internally and externally

Case Study 3: The New Caruth Hall
Summary
o The mission of the Caruth Institute for
Engineering Education is to increase the number and diversity of students who
graduate from U.S. high schools with both the enthusiasm and knowledge to pursue
the engineering careers that are necessary for the U.S. to compete in a global
o

economy.
The second engineering building at SMU to be constructed to LEED (Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design) Gold Standards, Caruth Hall will become the

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CASE TO BE STUDIED

1. It will change or adopt the way the campus will be planned, not on how
big the site is, but how to put all the facility on the 1.8ha site
2. It will also help the PLMA project in terms of how to plan for the

flooding occurring outside the site

3. It will help the PLMA, plan on how to be a better University like PLM
OBJECTIVES OF THE CASE TO BE STUDIED
1. The study objective is to formulate a expansive planning and
development, in applying guidelines and standards for more effective
planning solutions for Health y Learning Environment
2. The study also promotes planning for healthy learning environment for
campuses
3. Introducing / Increasing the social knowing for the university, that has a
good quality of teachings
