University campuses have a close relationship with life, and their space configuration and detailed plans can be found through various cases of Korea and other countries. The concept of expansion strategy has been realized through master plans, and this study examined the concepts that major universities in the capital area are pushing forward for the expansion of their campuses and suggested implications. Especially, the characteristics of the master plan of H university this study looked into involve the plan that specifically emphasizes such features. The conclusion of the study is as follows. First, the nature of the campus located in the city limits the physical expansion. In order to overcome this limit, universities are seeking ways with plans and the economic side of programs, and are establishing long-term development plans. Second, in the process of presenting a new order for the master plan in the campus, the environment is being improved by actively resolving various problems. Third, as a way to enhance the relationship with the communities, the physical boundary is dismantled. Especially, new buildings that are connected to the communities are built and management strategies are becoming more specific as a representative strategy. In addition, as in the case of Hongik University, there are attempts to establish a irect relationship with the communities based on the characteristics and inherent merits of the universities, which raises the expectation for the common environment between universities and communities.
