The word is probably most closely associated with college or university campus architecture, but quadrangles are also found in other buildings such as palaces. Most quadrangles are open-air, though a few have been roofed over (often with glass), to provide additional space for social meeting areas or coffee shops for students.The word quadrangle was originally synonymous with quadrilateral, but this usage is now relatively uncommon.[1]  Some modern quadrangles resemble cloister gardens of medieval monasteries, called garths, which were usually square or rectangular, enclosed by covered arcades or cloisters. However, it is clear from the oldest examples (such as Mob Quad) which are plain and unadorned with arcades, that the medieval colleges at Oxford and Cambridge were creating practical accommodation for college members.  Grander quadrangles that look like cloisters came later, once the idea of a college was well established and benefactors or founders wished to create more monumental buildings.[2] Although architectonically analogous, for historical reasons quads in the colleges of the University of Cambridge are always referred to as courts (such as the Trinity Great Court).  In North America, Thomas Jefferson’s design for the University of Virginia centered the housing and academic buildings in a Palladian form around three sides of the Lawn, a huge grassy expanse.  Later, some American college and university planners imitated the Jeffersonian plan, the Oxbridge idea, Beaux-Arts forms, and other models. All five barracks at The Citadel (military college) feature quadrangles with red-and-white squares (the colors of the South Carolina battle flag), which are used for formations by the Corps of Cadets.Quadrangles are also found in traditional Kerala houses (Naalukettu) and is known as the Nadumittam (“Middle Space”).[3]  Notable quadrangles[edit]Woodburn Circle, West Virginia UniversityBlue Boar Quadrangle, Christ Church, OxfordFrancis Quadrangle, University of MissouriMemorial Quadrangle, Yale UniversityMob Quad, Merton College, Oxford is one of the oldest quads in existence.Peckwater Quadrangle, Christ Church, OxfordKillian Court, Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyThe Quad, Harvard UniversityHarvard Yard, Harvard UniversityQueen’s Lawn, Imperial College LondonThe Green, Dartmouth CollegeKing’s College Quad, University of AberdeenThe Quadrangle, Springfield, MassachusettsRadcliffe Quadrangle, University College, OxfordSchenley Quadrangle, University of PittsburghBascom Hill, University of Wisconsin\u2013MadisonTom Quad, Christ Church, Oxford UniversityUniversity of Alabama QuadThe Quad, University College LondonFounder’s Building, Royal Holloway College, LondonThe Diag, University of MichiganSunken Garden, College of William & MaryThe Lawn, University of VirginiaMcKeldin Mall, University of MarylandOld College, EdinburghNew College, EdinburghHolyrood Quad, Moray House, EdinburghDahlgren Quadrangle, Georgetown UniversityOld Campus, Yale UniversityMain Quad, Stanford UniversityLaw Quadrangle, University of MichiganLiberal Arts Quadrangle, University of WashingtonWest Chester State College Quadrangle Historic District, West Chester UniversityThe Quadrangle, University of PennsylvaniaEl Cuadr\u00e1ngulo, University of Puerto Rico, R\u00edo PiedrasWhitworth Hall Quadrangle University of ManchesterCollege Quadrangle, S.
