LESSONS #1 Design the building – and campus – as a city #2 Keep the best places public, intensify use: density of people #3 Reduce m2 - trade quantity for quality of space #4 Embrace academic history – memories of generations + users are more “tolerant” in heritage buildings #5 Avoid individual territory, but make it feel like home #6 Implement more flexible concepts – mixed use – but avoid standardization and “open plan” #7 Allow students + staff to decorate their working environment and make it a showroom (with the best products of students + staff) #8 Make sure people can see each other work (for security, community building, serendipity ! innovation)

The built environment can support innovation in technology campuses by using strategies that support the process of knowledge creation and diffusion in two ways. First, the design strategies of technology campuses can be used to -deliberately- accommodate in close proximity various users, whose activities and knowledge are close in relation. Second, the management strategies of technology campuses can be used to optimise such proximity while creating the opportunities for users to share activities and therefore, to strength the closeness of such relations.

Nowadays, universities, governments and industry increasingly build or expand technology campuses to encourage innovation for economic growth and development. With that assertion in mind, which has not been actually demonstrated to be true, technology campuses are built with similar characteristics: they are large-scale, clustered and (quasi)isolated built environments.
