Consider the wretched (not design as much as management) 54th Street side of MOMA.

One of the nice things about Penn is that while they obviously have a large contiguous core with a traditional campus walk, towards the edges it kind of becomes diluted with privately-owned property in a way that I think really benefits both the neighborhood and, ultimately, the university.

The idea of the idealized Cambridge campus, adjacent to the town, with separated colleges and large sporting fields surrounding is a persuasive one. The city university with concentrations of classrooms in certain parts of a particular district, but without a large set aside campus, which is how a lot of historical unis developed, could do with an image boost. I am surprised NY universities do not emulate it more explicitly.
