The master's thesis addresses the renovation of the degraded agricultural area of the former Ihan Farm into a new university campus for the University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty, Department of Animal Science. The area in question is located in the immediate vicinity of the village of Ihan and the Kamniška Bistrica River. The starting point of the thesis is the problem of degraded areas, which, despite the loss of their original use, represent significant spatial and development potential for the implementation of new programs. The thesis stems from the actual needs of the Department of Animal Science, which faces a shortage of teaching and research space at its current location in Rodica and envisages its relocation to a new location in Ihan. The result of the project is a comprehensive landscape and architectural design for a university campus, which, in addition to teaching and research facilities, also includes a livestock program, dormitories for students and visiting professors, and open spaces for experimental work, recreation, and socializing. The design is based on sustainable approaches, including rain gardens, green roofs, and a solar cell system.
