Abstract
A multi-sected campus can be explained as an university to be consisted of several campuses, which are physically separate, but are functionally interconnected. The basic structure of university campuses started with a single-nuclei structure of which the facilities were layed out around a single campus core, and it has been changed to multi-nuclei layout, where a single campus core was subdivided into several service cores due to increased service demands. The limitation on the expansion of campuses due to urbanization of surroundings leads to the physical separation of the campuses, and the development of information technology made it possible to connect physically-separate campuses to form the multi-sected campus. The three general characteristics of multi-sected campuses were found; 1) the need for programatic specialization of each individual campus, 2) the need for representative imageability for each campus, 3) necessity for physical connectivity between campuses and functional independency for each campus.
