campus

University's physical domain

A campus is the grounds of a university, college, or school, including its buildings, lawns, and walkways: I spent four years on that campus.

The term extends to any unified cluster of buildings belonging to a single institution—a corporate campus, hospital campus, or tech campus.

Campus police patrol these grounds.

As an adjective, campus describes things located there: campus housing, campus life.
