Taking the site planning of a university campus in Shandong affected by mining-induced subsidence as a case study, integrating interdisciplinary approaches from architecture, urban and rural planning, geology and mining engineering, and based on asystematic analysis of subsurface conditions, including geological structures, mining-induced subsidence effects, and fault distributions, this study proposes a design philosophy that “subsurface conditions determine above-ground planning, while above-ground planning guides subsurface investigation and design”, and advocates the implementation of design methods featuring, maximizing benefits while minimizing risks, capitalizing on inherent advantages, and integrated planning.With site stability zoning as a prerequisite, aspatial layout for high-rise, multi-storey, and landscape development zones is established, and campus form is optimized in accordance with landform characteristics, resulting in a free-form landscape pattern that responds to the terrain.The results indicate that: The proposed approach can avoid engineering remediation costs associated with mining-induced subsidence hazard zones, andachieve a high green coverage rate of approximately 84% within the built-up area.The research findings could provide technical support and methodological references for the planning of university campuses and similar sites affected by mining-induced subsidence.

Urban land scarcity and increasing student numbers have limited the development of old university campuses. This study proposes a new concept of integrating above-ground and underground space for the study of the renovation design of old university campuses and applies this new concept to the Xueyuan Road Campus of China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing). The study was carried out with a focus on four aspects: functional zoning integration, traffic optimization, emergency evacuation of underground space, and space quality improvement. Adjustment of the functionality and zoning of the campus by analyzing the demolition of some of the existing old buildings, taking into account the surrounding environment and the above and below-ground conditions of the campus after the demolition, to separate pedestrian and motor vehicle traffic on campus. In this design, the large-scale gymnasium is underground beneath the playground where the upper space cannot be opened. An innovative "functional area-secondary safe area-safe area (sunken space)" evacuation system is proposed, and its feasibility was verified using the simulation software. Sunken corridors, sunken courtyards, and skylights were used to solve the problems of lighting in underground spaces. The methodology described in this paper effectively increased the area of various buildings on the campus and significantly improved the quality of the campus space. Our results provide a plan for the renovation of the Xueyuan Road Campus of China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing), and provide an effective method for the renovation of old university campuses.
