What are the differences between campus and premises? For example if we say Apple Campus and if we say Apple premises.
I checked the Oxford Living Dictionaries website and the meanings seem to be the same:
campus: the grounds and buildings of a university or college.
North American The grounds of a school, hospital, or other institution.premises: A house or building, together with its land and outbuildings, occupied by a business or considered in an official context.
The principal implication of "campus" is that it's an area with multiple buildings, similar to a university, college, or school.
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines:
1: the grounds and buildings of a university, college, or school.
3: grounds that resemble a campus
a hospital campus
a landscaped corporate campus
Premises, on the other hand, can just be a single building, or even just part of a building with its associated grounds.
b : a building or part of a building usually with its appurtenances (such as grounds)
