Space Utilization Guidelines Location Guidelines Core Campus Design Guidelines Project Guidelines

The contiguity of the core campus as a guiding principle of future campus growth is established in the Academic Plan, and reflected in the framework for growth described in strategic goal 1. But because core campus land is a scarce and finite resource, and the potential of the core campus to accommodate further growth is therefore limited, it is neither feasible nor desirable to house every university function on campus. Some units do not require physical proximity, while others are unsuitable for the campus and its urban environs due to scale, service requirements, safety hazards or environmental impacts.

As prescribed in policies 1.5 - 1.7, the Location Guidelines in this section shall ensure the use of space on and around the core campus follows the goals articulated in the Academic Plan:
  • to accommodate future academic growth on the core campus and adjacent blocks,

  • to reserve core campus space for functions that serve and/or involve students, and

  • to reserve adjacent blocks for research and service units that require core campus proximity.
