The restorative environment of university campuses is important for achieving the educational goals of spiritual cultivation and the spatial goals of health promotion. The weak natural conditions in cold climates contradict the restoration concept based on nature, hindering the construction of restorative environments in university campuses of cold regions. Based on the characteristics of cold climates and the spatial attributes of university campuses, this paper constructs the logic and mechanism of mutual feedback and adaptation between severe cold climates and restorative environments from the perspectives of climate, natural, and artificial environments. The restoration attributes, goals, and priorities of various spaces on university campuses are identified. The paths of constructing the restorative environment of university campuses in cold regions are established, including the coexistence of cold climate and restorative experience, the integration of natural perception and winter, and the commonality between artificial and natural attributes.
