cidade universitária
Segundo o autor: Cidades universitárias era o termo que se utilizava com frequência no Brasil antes da década de 1960 para falar sobre campus. No texto usei cidades universitárias na seção da década de 1930 para ser fiel a esse conceito. Assim é melhor não traduzir cidade universitária por campus.

If you don't like "grounds", perhaps "grounds and buildings"? Or "university complex"?
Maintaining and regularly reviewing a maintenance programme which takes account of short, medium and long term needs of all buildings and University grounds.
| o problema q vejo é q esse termo fala da área. Não do fato de ser área + prédios + cursos etc dentro do campus. Acho q é limitado à área geográfica, o terreno. |
