Most colleges and universities are located on campuses that have a number of buildings for such different functions as classrooms, offices, student residence halls, and other purposes. Older institutions may still be proudly using their initial buildings, which may have been repaired several times over the years. But virtually all institutions have relatively new buildings built in past few decades to accommodate increased enrollments-many in the past 10 years have more than

doubled their campus floor space, their enrollments, and their library holdings. In a city, a university may use buildings and facilities in several parts of the city, particularly if the space available to it in its early history is limited. Many of the larger institutions have libraries of a million or more volumes. Almost all colleges and universities have well-equipped laboratories for language teaching. Good research facilities are also available at many institutions.
