campus quad
University central lawn
A campus quad is a rectangular open space at a college or university, typically grassy and bordered by buildings on multiple sides.
Short for quadrangle, it serves as a central gathering place for students: We studied on the quad between classes.
The term evokes traditional collegiate architecture and campus life.
