If I am not mistaken, "The Yard" refers to the entire campus, no matter where you are. I did my undergrad work at an HBCU in the south,and now I'm at a non-HBCU in the north and they refer to the yard in the same way as we did in the south; the whole campus.
If I was off campus and I asked my friend where was so-in-so she would say up on the yard; meaning on campus.
