Abstract
The beginning of the 21st century was in Poland a period of intense investment activity in the development of infrastructure for higher education. University campuses have the potential to become an excellent model of architecture and urban planning with ideal symbiosis of learning and working, residence and recreation.

By virtue of this mission, universities should therefore be interested in promoting sustainable architecture to minimize adverse effects on the environment and to shape ecological society.

Often there is a lack of application of the principles of sustainable development. We see ad hoc method of developing campuses, tendency to suburbanization, waste of space and public funds, too little concern for the environment and not enough renewable energy. Institution of higher education must develop in accordance with the principles of sustainable development. This is the direction specified, as a priority, in the European economy and it’s profitablity to private companies. Universities as institutions that use
