Over the past six months, my business partner and I have been on the road quite a bit, meeting with clients, friends, and prospects, and we’ve had the luck to see some of the greatest contemporary expressions of a rather ancient idea: the corporate campus.

But what about the rest of the corporate world – the many companies that do not have the resources or inclination to build corporate campuses?
