campus grounds

University outdoor areas

The outdoor areas of a school, college, or university property—lawns, walkways, courtyards, and open spaces between buildings.

The phrase is somewhat redundant since campus already implies the grounds of an educational institution, but it emphasizes the physical landscape rather than the buildings or institution itself: Security patrols the campus grounds at night.
