Executive Summary
The Executive Summary
introduces the plan, lists
the planning principles, and
summarises the development
capacity of the campus.
2 du Toit Allsopp Hillier Carleton University Campus Master Plan
Executive Summary
The purpose of this plan is to set the parameters, policies and directions
for the physical development of the campus – its buildings, landscapes,
movement systems and general infrastructure. It fulfils the Board of
Governors’ policy to update the Carleton University Campus Plan
every five years. It deals with the location and size of buildings without
determining the uses except in a general sense, since these will vary
over time.
The arrangement of buildings and landscapes in the campus is guided by
a set of planning strategies -- principles or policies of the Board -- dealing
with:
1. Environmental responsibility and sustainable development;
2. Compact development within a ten minute class-change;
3. The spatial structure and sense of orientation through the
organization of streets, greens, walks and tunnels;
4. Movement (universal access, pedestrians, bicycles, transit, cars,
and trucks);
5. Connections to surroundings;
6. The design quality of buildings and landscapes;
7. Optimal building organization and interdependence;
8. Access to the river landscape;
9. Parking;
10. Safety;
11. Storm Water management;
12. Development sequence priorities;
13. Space management; and
14. North Campus reserve.
Carleton University Campus Master Plan 3du Toit Allsopp Hillier
The 2004 Plan proposed 14 potential development sites in the academic
and residential areas. Of these, only seven remain. It seemed as if the
campus would soon run out of development capacity. Questions were
posed as to whether the principle governing height should be amended
from mid to high rise buildings; whether new land such as part of the
Federal Experimental Farm across the canal should be sought; and/or
whether the “North 20” was needed for academic use. These questions
are answered here by looking beyond surface parking lots and seemingly
available sites to also include those that are underutilized or occupied by
buildings close to the end of their effective life.
A series of massing studies test the development capacity of twenty
academic and related building sites south of Sunnyside Avenue, six
residential sites, and others in the North Campus. Each site can be
built to a greater or lesser number of floors. A limit of five or six floors
for the majority of buildings in the Academic Campus would yield some
1,900,000 square feet of gross floor area, the mid campus some 480,000
square feet, and the residential campus some 900,000 square feet in total.
Complete development of the grounds at this density, that is following
the existing character of the campus, would double the existing space
on campus today. There are 2,800 residential occupants today with a
capacity to reach 6,000; or more with doubling up of rooms if developed
to 6 and in some cases 10 stories.
Under this scenario, Carleton’s full development capacity, excluding
the North Campus but including all proposed and remaining existing
buildings, is approximately 700 000 square meters or 7.5 million square
feet. If the past expansionary trend line continues, it would take about 50
years to utilize this capacity. Figure 1: Existing and Projected Enrolment and Cumulative GFA (square metres)

The site plan and digital model illustrated in the next two pages show
a campus built to capacity given buildings in the four to six floor range.
Existing buildings on the plan view are toned, proposed are white, vertical
additions are hatched. The model shows general massing, not building

Terminology: for ease of description, the campus grounds are divided
into Academic (West and East), Residential, Mid and North Campus
areas.

The identified sites provide Carleton with a menu of available places
to build. Some of them have grater potential to improve the campus
environment than others. The most transformative potential lies in a group
of opportunities around the Main Quad including a positive connection to
the river, and in the creation of a campus front door entry quad in front of
the University Centre and in the future centre of gravity of the campus.

Plan Anatomy-Basic Principles
This section presents the
essence of the Master Plan;
the policy intent of Carleton
University concerning the physical
development of the campus.
12 du Toit Allsopp Hillier Carleton University Campus Master Plan
Plan Anatomy – Basic Principles1. Environmental Responsibility
Carleton’s strategic goals include strong references to being a designer
and custodian of the future, and acting as stewards of healthier, more
sustainable communities, physical and financial resources.
Carleton promotes a responsible role in sustaining the earth’s ecological
and climatic health through its teaching, research, physical development,
operations and the lifestyle of its students and alumni. To date, an Existing
Building Performance Assessment for waste, energy consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions has been completed.
In its development plan, Carleton will continually seek ways to build,
renew and maintain buildings, infrastructure and landscapes in a way
which conserves resources, land, water and vegetation, reduces energy
use, and limits waste disposal.
For each of these aspects, a Sustainability Committee, supported by a
staff sustainability officer, will establish measures to be met, and review
them regularly to ensure their relevance over time.
For new and renovated buildings, it will use the Green Globe rating
system, at first meeting or exceed the rating of three globes of the
maximum five.
Carleton University Campus Master Plan 13du Toit Allsopp Hillier
2. Compact Academic and Research Campus
Primary academic, communal, and support facilities will be located within
a ten-minute diameter walking circle. This will require replacement of
under-performing buildings and surface parking; the former with higher
density buildings and the latter with independent and below-building
structures.
Academic research facilities will be located to encourage intra- and inter-
disciplinary contacts, and be associated with their related academic units.
Research space will continue to be located throughout the campus and
particularly within the main academic area.
In the long term, Carleton may consider the possibility of acquiring federal
land on the west side of the canal. The placement of academic facilities
across the canal will shift the centre of gravity to the west and increase
the walking distances in the Academic Campus, as is the case in many
other universities.

3. Campus Structure: Streets, Greens, Walks and Tunnels
Streets, Greens, Walks and Tunnels provide the primary means of
orientation and organization of the campus. The placement, massing,
and uses of buildings will work together to frame and animate open space
while reinforcing spatial structure. The primary circulation systems within
academic buildings will connect with each other and the tunnels to form a
pleasant and cohesive public access structure.

4. Movement
Transportation Priority: In allocating space and priority to various modes
of movement on campus, pedestrians rank first, bicycles next, followed in
sequence by transit, cars and trucks.
Barrier Free Environment: Carleton is committed to creating a barrier
free environment throughout the campus. The proposed expansion to the
tunnel system and its integration with flanking buildings will improve the
campus' accessibility. Where terrain or other features make these locally
impossible, special services for people with disabilities will be explored.
Streets: Carleton will minimize the use of streets for vehicular traffic
and continue the trend toward greater use by pedestrians and bicycles,
requiring more emphasis on generous sidewalks, street trees and the
animation of flanking building uses. A northern extension of Campus
Avenue to Colonel By Drive and a link to Bronson Avenue north of the
field house may alleviate some of the current rush hour congestion.
University Drive will extend to serve the North Campus. Library road will
terminate at the new Canal Building; the northern section replaced with a
pedestrian path wide enough to take emergency and residential moving
day traffic.

appropriate.

Bicycle accommodation will be further improved, with secure bicycle
parking nodes at key locations throughout the campus, integrated
within building entrances. In the residential campus, parking should
be available for both residents and visitors. The bike route on Campus
Avenue links to the recreational pathway by the canal and to Vincent
Massey Park on the south side of the river, accompanying the rail transit
line.
Figure 20: Cycling routes
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) techniques such as
incentives for multiple vehicle occupancy, increased parking charges and
reduced availability, improved bicycle access and storage will reduce car
use per person. The University will support the City of Ottawa’s continual
improvement of the rail and bus transit initiatives that will enhance the
University’s TDM strategy.

Rail Transit is central in the campus. A City of Ottawa initiative to twin-
track the service may enable construction of a combined academic
building and covered station, providing climate-controlled cross-platform
and cross-campus connection.
Bus Transit uses the efficient loop of University Drive and Campus
Avenue, with a series of pick-up and/or drop-off stops and two major ones
on either side of the rail station, forming a transportation hub.

Figure 22: Service access
Taxis are accommodated at the proposed Entrance Quad, together
with visitor information. Passengers will be able to wait indoors in the
proposed buildings flanking the Green.
Service and emergency vehicles will use the campus street system
where possible, and use shared pedestrian/service routes where street
access is unavailable. The negative visual impact of service areas will be
mitigated through building and landscape design.

5. Connections to Surroundings
Carleton will work with its neighbours to increase connections between
the campus grounds and their surroundings.
Bronson Avenue needs a greater pedestrian emphasis to overcome its
anti-urban high-speed character. Carleton will encourage and work with
the City of Ottawa to provide a generous tree-lined sidewalk along its
length, with porous connections into the campus. Development within the
campus will seek to establish a greater civic presence through placing
buildings with a sense of address along the street, particularly in the Mid
and North Campus areas. The campus will gain greater presence in this
way, enhanced by special treatment of the important pedestrian entrance
at Brewer Park such as with a gateway feature similar in character to the
one at Sunnyside Avenue, banners, prominent bus stops and architectural
character to the substations in the vicinity.

Colonel By Drive is both an attractive drive and an important access
to the campus, but because of the dearth of crossings and in places
impenetrable foliage, it is a pedestrian and sometime visual barrier to the
Rideau Canal and arboretum beyond. Carleton will work with the National
Capital Commission and Parks Canada to obtain better pedestrian visual
and physical access, particularly at the north extension of Campus Drive
where a pedestrian crossing associated with campus and public skating-
access parking bring a convergence of public interest to the proposal.

The Rideau River flood plain is regulated by the Rideau Valley
Conservation Authority (RVCA), which is interested in reducing
development in the river’s riparian zone. Carleton will work with the RVCA
to balance active use of the amenity of the river bank (such as walks,
seating and patios) for a portion of the river bank, with limits of use to the
majority of the area on campus, as shown below.
Figure 26: Riparian zone and potential human use areas
26 du Toit Allsopp Hillier Carleton University Campus Master Plan
6. Design Quality
Landscapes and buildings will be of continually improved functional and
aesthetic quality. Building design will favour architectural interest and
life cycle costing over the simple provision of space at low capital cost.
Landscape design will unify the grounds, stimulate social interaction, and
offer delight, comfort, and security.
Buildings on campus are seen by some in the community as an inventory
of architectural styles, interesting evidence of Carleton’s development
history. To many others, there is a perception that while the quality
of the landscape has greatly improved since the last plan, Carleton’s
architectural inventory is “tired”, old and of poor quality. In fact, there are
several buildings of superior contemporary quality, the appreciation of
which is overpowered by the general perception. The Canal and River
buildings now under construction will add to that group. Over time, the
image of the campus will be transformed as the proportion of higher
quality buildings increase and that of older buildings decrease.
The landscape is a unifying element within the campus. Native plant
material predominates, reflecting the natural context of the campus.
Ornamental plant material is selectively utilized to highlight key nodes
and provide accent colour. Reduction of potable water for irrigation
and elimination of pesticide use combined with an active maintenance
program creates a healthy environment. Construction materials will be
consistent, durable and have a quality finish. The principle walkways
are six metres wide and designed to accommodate both the pedestrian
and cyclist. Walkways between buildings and adjacent to roadways
are slightly reduced in width. Sculpture, art and commemorative trees
enhance the experience. The walkways are well-lit, the trees create a
shade canopy during the summer months, and the shrub material is low
to improve visibility and increase the sense of safety in the grounds.

7. Building Organization and Interdependence
The more public, student-oriented spaces will be accommodated in the
lower floors of academic buildings, with offices above. Except at the
entrance quad and residential area, height will usually be restricted to six
stories and average five. Communal space for circulation, informal group
and individual study and meeting places will be generous, will link formal
teaching areas and connect directly to each neighbouring building’s
circulation and communal space. Tunnel sections will be opened out to
Figure 31: Idealized building organization
the public uses and be given direct or indirect access to daylight. Outdoor
study and social areas will be incorporated in terraces overlooking the
river and principal greens.
Campus and Faculty Identity: Buildings will be designed to establish
both faculty identity and, in combination with other buildings, a cohesive
campus identity. Designs will seek a lack of isolation by speciality; the
engendering of cross-disciplinary contact; and close connection between
teaching and research. While in the first instance they may be designed
to express a particular faculty identity, they will be organized as a “loose
fit” to encourage a long life of adaptation to alternative academic use.

8. River Access
The relationship with the Rideau River will be improved by making spatial
connections to the main quad and other parts of the campus open space
structure, by orienting buildings to the river with terraces, entrances, atria
and public functions such as food services, and by seeking cooperation
from the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority to improve bank-side
amenities such as paths, benches and seating terraces.

9. Parking
Parking stalls will be provided throughout the campus, increasingly under
cover, while the number per person will decrease over time as car pool
and transit use increase. The majority of surface stalls will be in the North
Campus. The remainder will be under buildings and in parking structures.
The existing garage will be replaced with a larger one, with P3 being a
preferred site. Other structures can take advantage of rail air-rights in the
north campus, once a final decision on electrification has been made.
Since most new buildings will remove surface parking and will require
structured parking on site, Carleton should prepare for the increased
infrastructure costs by gradual and advanced parking charge increases
so that surface lots, while they last, subsidise structured lots.

10. Safety
The design and management of buildings, landscapes, and lighting
will promote the reality and perception of personal safety. Enhancing
safety sets up a virtuous circle: the safer the campus feels, the more it
is occupied, the safer it becomes. The sense of personal safety is one
measure of a viable environment, along with and resulting from other
measures such as clarity, legibility, convenience, vitality, and delight.
For this reason, most of the principles in this plan will contribute to the
development of a safer campus.
The exterior lighting system will be designed to reinforce the spatial
structure and organization of the campus, and provide the cues
necessary for orientation and way-finding at night. Glare and contrast
caused by overly bright sources is the most common problem in lighting
design, and causes impaired visibility in the intervals between light
sources. The lighting strategy is to limit light levels to no more than that
required for night vision (which is not much more than full moonlight)
but to distribute the light more evenly, with smooth transitions between
illuminated buildings, roads, walkways, and open spaces so that the eye
can comfortably adapt and to see into shadows.
Lighting can add immeasurably to the night aesthetic of the campus
as well, by subtly illuminating key features. All building entrances and
alcoves or ‘dark corners’ should be softly lit and loading areas should not
be brighter than building entrances. To minimize light pollution, lighting
should be designed to only cast light on what is meant to be lit. Overly
bright lighting which might disturb sleep in residential areas will be
avoided.

Rainwater flows to the Rideau River over the land surface and via six
piped sewer catchment areas from building roofs and pipe-drained
surfaces. Overland flow currently discharges in two primary locations:
near the rail track crossing and near Bronson Avenue, flowing to those
points along routes marked by blue arrows in the diagram below. The
largest piped catchment outlet is at the Bronson Avenue Bridge, which is
complicated by the fact that it, along with the overland flow at that point,
is within the flood plain and riparian zone.
Water quantity control for the piped system will be provided mainly
through rooftop storage as the north, residential and east campus
develop. Rainwater harvesting for grey water systems, green roofs and
irrigation will also be explored. Infrequent heavy surface flow will be

12. Development Priority
In answering which projects might be built sooner than others, priority will
be assessed from:
• a space needs perspective (for academic, residential, administrative
and ancillary functions), as well as from the point of view of energy
savings and facility renewal; and
• a campus-wide perspective, choosing sites which have one or
more of the following attributes: are relatively free of constraints;
contribute to place-making by spatially containing positive open
space; provide a greater sense of river access; help connect the
east and west campus; and animate the tunnels.

13. Space Management
In meeting space needs, the University will emphasize consolidation over
expansion. The most efficient utilization of existing space has first priority,
followed in sequence by renovation of existing space, additions or infill
development, replacement of buildings close to end of life and finally on
one of the new sites identified in the Master Site Plan.
Over the life of a building, it will see several changes of use. Its
programming and subsequent design will therefore aim for loose fit to
encourage long life, so that later uses fit more readily into the building
frame. The most likely practical effect of this approach will be a strong
and generic circulation structure as the primary organising feature of the
building.
Generic functions such as central classrooms, communal, group and
casual study space and student services will occur throughout the
campus but will congregate in greater intensity in central locations,
whereas faculty and research buildings of a specialized nature will find
places further out.

14. North Campus Reserve
The North Campus is a short and midterm resource as a way to postpone
some (but not all) of the need to construct structured parking, and a
long term resource for academic use once the rest of the campus is fully
developed. Alternatively, if a strong need arises, it could be developed for
land-consuming uses affiliated with the university such as a research park
or major cultural facility. This will require a full site infrastructure plan and
should only be undertaken with a clear understanding of how the whole
site would be developed.

Reinforcing the Main Quad1. Dunton Tower
The Dunton Tower provides strong identification of the campus from a
distance, but is a problematic academic building. The way that it meets
the ground at the Main Quad does not contribute particularly well to
animating or spatially containing the quad. As shown on the following
two pages, reworking the base three floors, infilling between the Azrieli
Pavilion and extending westward and forward, would greatly improve
the frontage to the quad. Bringing the entrance to the side will allow a
more efficient layout of offices and classrooms in the interior. Bringing
the front face forward permits an opening out of the tunnel below, adding
borrowed daylit casual study and meeting space.

2. Main Library
The campus community has a poor opinion of the Library exterior. Some
additional space and a superior architectural treatment can be obtained
by adding a new facade forward, as was done with the Winnipeg
Centennial Library. It will animate the quad and bring additional daylight
to the tunnel and all other levels. Extending the addition northward over
the loading dock will enclose and hide an eyesore, add library space, and
improve views from the interior. There is vertical expansion capacity of
two floors over the rear wing of the Library.Figure 53: Aerial view of Library and Dunton Podium showing spatial relationship with quad

3. Paterson Hall
Paterson Hall, one of the first buildings on campus, is in need of a
complete upgrade or replacement. It currently occupies a large amount
of land at a low density. Replacement of Paterson Hall and later the Life
Sciences Research Building, another extremely inefficient use of land and
on valuable river frontage, would allow a dramatic increase of academic
space in the heart of the campus and a dramatic reorientation of the
campus to the river, which has been a longstanding goal of repeated
campus plans since the 1990s. The slope of land further permits access
from the quad to extend into the middle floors, increasing the range of
stair access greater than the normal 3-floor limit.
The primary means of connecting to the river landscape will be through
a generous green linear court flanked by buildings. It would descend in
two steps, each over a tunnel section which opens out to daylight and the
view as it crosses the court. Interior “colonnades” could flank the court.
Garden terraces would provide outdoor space at several levels to take
advantage of river views.

4. Establishing a Campus Entry Quad
The 2004 Plan proposed a new entry quad on Lot P2, flanked by
supporting buildings including an extension of the University Centre.
The University Centre facade has since been completed. Two flanking
buildings, the quad and underground parking remain to be done.
The north building spans the tunnel intersection between residences, east
and west campuses. There is great opportunity for bringing borrowed
daylight into the tunnels and, as importantly, to improve the sense of
orientation within the tunnel system with additional entrances and views
to the outside world. Tunnel additions servicing the buildings will also be
designed as part of the public space. The south building provides the
access to parking under the two buildings and the quad.

University Centre Addition
As the university grows, additional communal space may be needed,
which can be added to the south side of the University Centre. This would
help animate the adjoining relatively large but presently unanimated open
space to the south.

Mackenzie Courtyard Infill
The Mackenzie courtyard is not a successful gathering space. Interior
connections between the four pods are confusing. Both issues can be
resolved by infilling. Generous public space for study and discussion on
the ground floor could form the base of a perimeter atrium providing a
prospect for the existing windows to the courtyard and outlook for a four
storey core of classroom and office space. This is served on the upper
levels with walkways spanning the atrium and connecting the pods.

The closure of Library Road and its replacement with a more land-efficient
path system that can also take emergency vehicles would provide
sufficient site area for an academic building.

Parking Lot P1
Development of Parking Lot P1 offers the opportunity for overlook across
the canal and into the Federal Experimental Farm. Parking beneath
the building would use the existing ramp into parking under the Library
Annex.

Social Science Research
The Social Research building is small, of temporary construction and
occupies a potentially large site on the valley floor. A replacement could
provide a greater inventory of space and make a contribution to the
campus’ river orientation with outlook terraces and green forecourt.

East CampusSite Works Reorganization
On the East Campus, three low density or end-of-life buildings and three
surface parking lots offer the opportunity to increase land utilization.
The Maintenance Building and yard, once on the edge of the academic
group, now increasingly in the central zone, takes up a large space in
now valuable real estate. The Day care Centre is in a similar situation, and
could be replaced within a larger project here or in the residential area.
The parking structure is near the end of its maintainable life. Replacing
these three would free up a large area for redevelopment. The heating
plant, however, would stay because of the great cost of replacement.
The cross-campus walk currently winds through this territory. The drive
into the service yard is now a fair distance from the building. Straightening
of the path and bringing the drive closer to the heating plant will allow
more effective subdivision structure to the area.

Alumni Park Backdrop
A site in front of the garage backing up Alumni Park provides the
opportunity to animate the park with community uses on the ground floor
and overlook terraces on upper floors. It can also improve connection
between the east and west campuses via a new southern tunnel; an
interior link which is presently only possible via a tortuous northern route.
If built before the demolition of the parking structure, it would act as a
visual buffer to the unsightly garage.

Over-Track Building
If the O-Train tracks are doubled as previously planned, there is the
opportunity to utilise track air rights with a building encompassing the
station, straddling the tracks and helping to connect east and west
campus. In the mean time, a first phase could be built on the east side,
with the potential to be connected to a western wing at a later date.
Street and Quad
The primary organising devices will be the street and a new quad flanked
by buildings facing it and providing communal uses at ground level.
University drive, also flanked and animated by new buildings will change
character as a more urban and multi-use vehicle/bicycle/pedestrian
corridor.
Parking Structure
A new and larger parking structure is shown on lot P3 to help replace
reasonably close car accessibility to the academic campus.

The plan proposes that the Maintenance Yard be relocated from the east
campus to the tennis bubble site, and backed by a 3,000 seat seating
structure facing the playing field, with change rooms below. To the north
is a site suitable for an institution affiliated with university programs but
not requiring substantial student class-change requirements.
Bronson Avenue
A larger site for similar institutional use, or for athletic expansion, faces
Bronson Avenue, giving greater Carleton presence to the outside world.
The road serving the mid campus buildings and parking is also extended
to Bronson, providing right-hand turn congestion relief at rush hours. The
streetscape is given greater pedestrian emphasis with a wider tree-flanked
sidewalk and an entrance to the building. The Brewer Park crossing is
given greater visual importance with gateway treatment.

Plan Implementation
This section describes the way in
which the plan is intended to be
implemented and maintained over
time.
76 du Toit Allsopp Hillier Carleton University Campus Master Plan
Plan ImplementationAn Approved Plan
The Campus Master Plan (is) approved as University policy by the Board
of Governors.
The Department of Facilities Management and Planning will ensure that
every project is measured against the Campus Master Plan at all stages
of the Project Development Process.
Updating the Plan
In order to respond to changing needs over time, the plan will be evolve
through amendments as necessary and updates every five years.
Plan Amendment: All projects must follow the principles of the
Plan, or else an amendment is purposely made. The Assistant Vice-
President (Facilities Management and Planning) will review and advise
as to whether a proposed project is consistent with the Plan, and will
propose whether a major or minor amendment should be made. Major
amendments – when the change would significantly affect the university
communal interest or the quality of the campus environment – will
reintroduce Steering Committee and campus community participation and
must be approved by the Board of Governors. Minor amendments would
be approved by the Vice-President (Finance and Administration), who will
report the changes to the Building Program Committee of the Board of
Governors and the campus community once made.
Plan Monitoring: Each year, a report on any measures taken to
implement the Plan is made to the Building Program Committee of the
Board of Governors.
General Updates: The Plan will be publicly reviewed at five year
intervals, and approved by the Board of Governors. The principles and
demonstration will be reconsidered, and accumulated amendments
incorporated.
Carleton University Campus Master Plan 77du Toit Allsopp Hillier
Supplementary Planning Studies
Supplementary planning studies (such as Storm Water Management,
Space Management and Environmental Sustainability) should be formally
approved as sub-sets of the Campus Master Plan, and thus have the
status of policy. If parts of a supplementary plan contradict the Plan and
the contradiction is justifiable and desirable, and if this occurs in between
the five-year general reviews, a plan amendment is required. If the timing
coincides with that of the general review, the supplementary plan can be
affirmed as part of that review.
Testing Projects against the Plan
The Assistant Vice-President (Facilities Management and Planning) or
designate (The Campus Plan Administrator) tests all projects against the
Plan at all stages, and reports consistency or otherwise to the Board.
When a project is identified, a site in the Plan is selected. An important
criterion is how the project’s program and location will contribute to the
needs of campus as a whole, as well as to the needs of the specific
group of users, by meeting a majority of planning principles.
During schematic design, the Plan’s principles and demonstration provide
guidance, and measures for establishing compliance.
Each submission for approval at the Board’s Building Program Committee
includes a report on the project check against the Plan.

Selecting Sites: A Checklist
This plan provides guidance for site selection is provided throughout this
report. The most relevant points are summarised here, with references to
the source in the plan. The palette of sites from which a selection can be
made are contained in the Massing Studies section.
1.Building type: If an academic function, is it within the Academic
Campus? See Strategy 2, Compact Academic and Research Campus. If
an athletic or non-academic function but related to university programs,
is it within the Mid Campus? If a residential function, is it within the
Residential Campus?
2.Program size: how closely does the size of building match the size of
site? If a potential site can accommodate a greater program, can it be
subdivided? See Massing Studies and Appendix A: Statistics.
3.Programmatic relationships: How closely connected is the site to
related programs for ease of student and faculty interchange?
4.Space management: Can the program be met without building afresh
on a new site? See Strategy 14, Space Management.
5.Contribution to spatial structure: How can the program and building
type enhance the spatial structure of the campus? See Strategy 3,
Campus structure and Strategy 12, Development Priority.
6.Movement: How would development enhance movement priorities?
See Strategy 4, Movement.
7.Connections: How would development encourage connections and
presence to Bronson Avenue, the Rideau River and Massey Park, and the
Canal and Arboretum? See Strategies 5, Connections to Surroundings; 8,
River Access; and 12, Development Priority.
8.Parking: Can the budget accommodate the added cost of structured
parking? See Strategy 9, Parking.
9.Development priority: How well can the site and program meet
campus-wide development priorities? See Strategy 12.
10.Cost: What is the comparative cost for developing the site for new
infrastructure, loss of parking, need to build structured parking, removal
of buildings, etc.
