THE UNIVERSITY OF TOMORROW AND ITS PLANNING

It can be expected that the dynamics of change acting upon education will require substantial modification of the objectives of higher education and its institutions.

Affected will be the teaching function as well as research activities. The main changes will most probably occur in the communities’ rôle in higher education. This also imposes changes in the role of managers and planners of higher education as well as new financial and legal problems which are thus created.

The article presented below discusses the extent to which planning in the universities, especially in relation‐to their facilities, shall be determined by the dynamics of the processes mentioned above. It is an extract from an article entitled “Planning the Facilities for the University of Tomorrow” which was written by Michel Woitrin from the Catholic University of Louvain, Louvain‐la‐Beuve, Belgium.
