Robert Gordon University - Garthdee campus
The Garthdee campus is the Robert Gordon University's main campus, where all academic departments are located and teaching and research takes place. The campus is located in parkland on the outskirts of the city of Aberdeen and noted for its modern architecture. For the university's historic Administration Building in Aberdeen city centre, see the main article.
The Garthdee campus is situated in the south-west of the city, on the banks of the River Dee. For much of its history it was a greenfield site, with parts used as the gardens and estate of the manor of Garthdee House, farmland, and open meadows. The first university buildings were in use from the 1950s, with major additional developments in the 1960s, 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s. The design concept produced in the mid-1990s by architects Norman Foster + Partners was to separate the site into three zones; to the north, by the road, would be car parking; a central zone would contain the main buildings, and the southern boundary by the riverbank would be for parkland and wildlife. Ancient lines of beech trees and woodlands were retained in the concept. It also included a "university street" running east-west and connecting the buildings, which were to be "pavilions in the landscape".〔Pearce, M. (2001). ''University Builders''. Chichester, UK: Wiley-Academy.〕 These elements of the design concept have been more or less adhered to in subsequent developments by other architects.
==History of site==
Visible today are the signs of the campus's past as an area of agriculture, a wealthy estate, and industry. The campus today incorporates areas that were formerly in separate ownership. The western end of the campus, up to approximately the Business School building, was the estate of a Victorian manor called Garthdee House. The estate stretched along the river and was owned by a number of private owners until donated to the institution by the architect Tom Scott Sutherland in 1954.〔Ellington, H. (2002). The Robert Gordon University: A History. Aberdeen: The Robert Gordon University〕 The house still stands and today houses the Principal's Office (see below). This area is characterised by a planned estate landscape.
