This study provides an extensive bibliometric analysis of university campus design research, examining trends, collaborations, and thematic focuses through a systematic review of data from the Scopus database. A total of 5,753 publications from 1959 to 2024 were analyzed using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny. The results reveal a steady growth in scholarly attention to university campus design, particularly since 2007, with sustainability, digital transformation, and inclusivity emerging as dominant themes. Sustainability is highlighted as a central theme, focusing on energy-efficient materials, green infrastructure, and climate-responsive designs to address environmental challenges. For instance, life-cycle assessments underscore the importance of integrating sustainable practices during the planning stages to minimize long-term ecological impacts. Digital transformation, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, is another critical trend, emphasizing the integration of hybrid learning environments, Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, and Building Information Modeling (BIM) for adaptive and data-driven campus designs. The analysis also reveals gaps in the field, such as limited research on modular and scalable designs to accommodate fluctuating populations and evolving technological needs. Additionally, the socio-cultural aspects of campus environments, including mental health, community integration and inclusivity, remain underexplored. By synthesizing past and current trends, this study provides a robust framework for advancing university campus design. It emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary approaches, global collaboration, and innovative solutions to create campuses that are sustainable, adaptive, and inclusive, capable of meeting the evolving demands of the 21st century.
