This article examines a number of conceptualizations of interactions between people and physical space, and relates them to university settings to make a link with findings on institutional effectiveness. It argues that the idea of the common-pool resource, where certain physical or social conditions are exploited collectively, is a helpful way of understanding how certain university spaces may be used productively. The opposite situation, the creation of a university ‘nonplace’, must be guarded against. Planners and institutional managements can support the creation of high-performing spaces managed in common, while allowing students and others to build their own community structures.

大学空间：创造城市和地方

本文研究了人与物理空间之间相互作用的许多概念，并将它们与大学环境联系起来，以与有关机构有效性的发现建立联系。它认为，公共池资源的概念，即集体利用某些物理或社会条件，是理解某些大学空间如何被有效利用的有用方式。相反的情况，即创建大学“非场所”，必须加以防范。规划者和机构管理人员可以支持创建共同管理的高性能空间，同时允许学生和其他人建立自己的社区结构。
