Mike Evans, a principal at Norfolk, Va., design firm Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas + Company, says to be beautiful a campus must have a “signature campus space as a carrier of the campus brand.” At Kenyon College, that space is “Middle Path,” a 10-foot-wide footpath that serves as the Gothic hilltop campus’ central artery. More than just a trail, it’s a village green for the tight-knit campus community. Sergei Lobanov-Rostovsky, who teaches 17th-century poetry at Kenyon, says the college, both isolated and pastoral, is “a small place to think big thoughts.”
弗吉尼亚州诺福克Hanbury Evans Wright Vlattas +建筑设计事务所主管迈克•埃文斯表示,一所美丽的校园必须具备一个“标志性校园场地来作为校园品牌的载体”,这才能担得起“最美校园”的名头。在凯尼恩学院,这个地方便是一条十英尺宽、名为“中间道路”的人行道,它是这所坐落于山顶的哥特式校园的主干道。这不仅仅是一条小路,在人际关系密切的校园里,它还是一处田园绿地。在凯尼恩学院讲授17世纪诗歌的谢尔盖•洛巴诺夫-罗斯托夫斯基表示,这所与世隔绝的田园式学院,可谓是“琢磨大想法的小地方”。

Teaching within Oxford’s stone walls dates as far back as the 11th century, and the school is considered a paradigm for all college campuses. With its labyrinth of quads, cloisters, and archways, it evokes elegance and tradition at every turn. “Its monastic roots and the spectacular quality of its buildings make it an architectural wonderland,” says David Mayernik, associate professor at Notre Dame’s School of Architecture.
牛津大学的校史可追溯至11世纪,该校被公认为所有大学校园的典范。四方院、回廊和拱门遍布校园,宛如迷宫,处处散发着典雅迷人的传统气息。“修道院的渊源和气势恢宏的建筑让牛津大学成为了一个建筑圣地。”美国圣母大学建筑学院的副教授大卫•迈耶尼克如此评价道。
