 Activating the edge: the university campus as anchor institutionCarin Combrinck and Timme-Loïse Nortjé Development Southern Africa, 2021, vol. 38, issue 3, 353-370 Abstract: This article investigates the architectural manifestation required for the establishment of the university as anchor institution in South Africa. Through an historical review of campus architecture and planning, an understanding is gained of the development of current thought associated with the exclusivity of the institution. The insularity of current campus architecture has allowed for seclusion within the knowledge environment. The paradigm of current campus design and architecture within South Africa is analysed as possible informants to design these relevant facilities. Service learning can facilitate the exchange of knowledge to not only contribute to the communities surrounding universities, but add to the research and relevance of our institutions within the urban environment. The exchange of knowledge can become a bridge between town and gown. Through a comprehension of the spatial requirements of such a facility, architecture can contribute to the accessibility, legibility and transparency of the institution.
