Abstract

The paper examines the role of sustainable and participatory design in modernising university campuses, focusing on the extension of the Water Centre at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW. The study explores integrating pro-ecological strategies, including green roofs, rainwater recirculation, renewable energy systems, and student engagement in spatial planning. The research evaluates how these interventions enhance campus functionality, user well-being, and environmental resilience through a case study approach. The findings indicate that sustainable campus redevelopment improves microclimatic conditions and biodiversity, as well as fostering inclusivity and academic community engagement. The paper contributes to the discourse on ecological urbanism and the adaptation of educational spaces to contemporary sustainability challenges.
