Abstract

Coinciding with the increased risk of negative impacts of the built structure on the environment caused by depletion of natural resources and increasing energy costs, it is argued that the main challenge facing the urban sector is to achieve sustainable development with less energy consumption, optimized utilization of natural resources and materials, more renewable energy dependence, increased levels of water conservation, and ensured safe disposal of pollutants.
Higher education institutions and universities can practically provide the most influential ideas and concepts to the society towards transition to sustainable thinking and increased awareness of the importance and application of sustainability, not only through curricula and academic research, but also through positive environmental practices at the campus buildings that should generally aim to minimize negative impacts on the environment.
 This study aims to benefit from the successful practices and experience of sustainability at existing universities on global and regional scales. It provides comparative analysis of two universities: 1) University of Maryland in the USA; and 2) King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. Each of the case studies represents leadership on selective aspects of sustainability practices on campus. Sustainable strategies are grouped to formulate sustainable design strategies for campuses, and an application is performed on Mansoura University to examine its sustainability range and potentials. The paper concludes with applied recommendations to transform Mansoura University to a sustainable campus.
