The two maps show the development of a university campus from 2010 to the present day, highlighting changes in student accommodation, faculty buildings, and green areas. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The two maps illustrate how a university campus has been developed since 2010, particularly in terms of where students live, where they are taught and how much open land remains.

the lawn has been halved to make way for a library.

In addition
