Issues that will shape the future of higher education institutions and new trends in campus architecture
were the themes of a recent international seminar. Francisco Marmolejo, former consultant to the
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), presents here an overview of
the seminar, explaining changes taking place in the area of higher education facilities and providing
participants’ views. Presentations from three countries are also described below: Mexico’s Monterrey
International Knowledge City; the higher education learning environment and the Finnish technology
hub of Otaniemi; and, in Spain, the University of Salamanca’s R&D&I Building.
