Which BERDE category describes a district that houses a university campus and related facilities?

• A. Campuses
• B. Residential Subdivisions
• C. Educational/Educational Institutions
• D. Community

Answer: (C)

BERDE classifies a district by its primary function. A district that centers on education and houses a university campus along with related facilities—classrooms, libraries, labs, student housing, dining, and student services—fits best under Educational/Educational Institutions. This label captures the district’s main activity: education and research. While a campus site might be described as such, BERDE’s category for the district’s overall use is Educational/Educational Institutions, since that category covers the full range of educational facilities and functions. The other options describe residential living or broader community aims without the central educational purpose, so they don’t match the district’s primary use.
