der Campus

– The word Campus refers to the physical area where a university or college is located. It includes buildings such as lecture halls, cafeterias (Mensen), libraries, and administrative offices. – It is used much like in English, though in Germany, some universities have distributed buildings, so not all institutions have a “campus” in the American sense. – The word comes from Latin campus (“field”) and entered German via English, especially with the rise of international and modern university structures.
