cidade universitária

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:cidade universitária
English translation:University-city

Tech/Engineering - Architecture / urbanismo
Portuguese term or phrase: cidade universitária
Aqui é a ideia de campus, mas não pode usar o termo campus. Não significa cidade com muitas universidades.

Segundo o autor: Cidades universitárias era o termo que se utilizava com frequência no Brasil antes da década de 1960 para falar sobre campus. No texto usei cidades universitárias na seção da década de 1930 para ser fiel a esse conceito. Assim é melhor não traduzir cidade universitária por campus.

Asker: Pela definição que vi online isso seria o bairro onde está a U, que inclui a universidade e outras coisas. Mas não o campus com todas as suas partes, que é o que busco, entende?

If you don't like "grounds", perhaps "grounds and buildings"? Or "university complex"?

Example sentence(s):
  • Maintaining and regularly reviewing a maintenance programme which takes account of short, medium and long term needs of all buildings and University grounds.

Notes to answerer
Asker: o problema q vejo é q esse termo fala da área. Não do fato de ser área + prédios + cursos etc dentro do campus. Acho q é limitado à área geográfica, o terreno.

university enclosure


Explanation:
Creio que "university enclosure" transmite bem a ideia de cidade universitária como alternativa de câmpus universitário.

"In the University enclosure proper there are 52 acres. From the boundaries of this enclosure, the ground slopes away sharply in every direction except toward ..."

"I began planting trees within the university enclosure … Gradually some of my students joined me; one class after another …"
