Universidad del Istmo

The new
campus of Universidad del Isthmo is located on a beautiful hillside in the
rapidly growing community of Santa Isabel near Guatemala City, Guatemala.
Sasaki Associates designed the 49-hectare site, and the first phase of the plan
is currently undergoing implementation. The university aims to enroll
approximately 6,200 students in successive stages of implementation over 20
years. The educational objectives and mission of the university include a
strong focus on the individual and the community within the learning
environment. The form of the new campus is a response to the university's
social goals and commitment towards contemporary learning relationships. Taking
into account the ecological forces and systems that influence the site,
together with a careful positioning and orientation of new buildings to promote
natural ventilation and daylighting, the campus is a model of sustainable
strategies. This first phase consists of the heart of campus, which features key civic components: the campus central plaza, the library, the campus center, and the
rectory. From this core, the rest of the campus will grow over time.
