Do Universities Need Their Campuses Any More?

In the beginning, as with Bologna in 1108 or Oxford in the early 12th century or the medieval university of Paris, universities were places where students and teachers might congregate in buildings on a physical place of pleasant land. The great universities of today such as Oxford, Cambridge, the Sorbonne, Harvard, Stanford and their Canadian ilk all across the vast country of Canada like the University of Toronto, McGill, UBC, the University of Alberta (and the University of Calgary from where I am writing) all have remarkable and beautiful campuses with many useful buildings upon them.
The question I wish to ask today is: Are such spaces and buildings still necessary in a world with many more possibilities for students to gather and teachers to teach? In other words do we still need campuses for universities?
