Campus: Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

Campus is Latin for "field" or "open space". English gets the words "camp" and "campus" from this origin.

The campus is the area in which a university and surrounding buildings are situated. Usually a campus includes libraries, lecture halls, student residential areas and park-like settings.

Sometimes company offices are called campus as well, e.g. the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, Washington.
