Overview

The Stadium Neighbourhood planning process took place from fall 2017 to spring 2019. 

A proposed Plan Concept was presented to UBC’s Board of Governors in June of 2019, and two alternative development scenarios were presented to the Board of Governors Property Committee in September of 2020.

In September of 2020, staff reported back to the Board of Governors Property Committee with a requested status update on alternative development scenarios exploring lower residential densities and building heights to better understand economic, urban design and sustainability implications, as well as the implications on the proposed number of UBC community housing units.

Next Steps

The Stadium Neighbourhood planning process took place between fall 2017 to spring 2019. The proposed form of development of the future Stadium Neighbourhood will be adjusted to reflect the principles, big ideas and strategies contained in Campus Vision 2050 and be consistent with specific policies set out in the Land Use Plan. Finalizing the plan will be done in collaboration with UBC Properties Trust and through engagement with the UNA, the UBC community and Musqueam. The timing to finalize the Stadium Neighbourhood Plan has not yet been set.
