Campus Vision 2050 is an ambitious, long-range plan for how the University of British Columbia’s Vancouver campus will change and grow to support the needs of the university, its students, faculty, residents and staff, and Musqueam.
Students, faculty, residents and staff were deeply involved in multiple stages of the Campus Vision 2050 process. Community input helped shape the process itself, including defining community and university needs and aspirations and developing the Terms of Reference. Multiple rounds of engagement helped establish guiding principles, generate planning ideas and strategies, explore trade-offs and choices, and refine the final Vision. Additionally, UBC has been sharing information and engaging with Musqueam—they have identified interests and potential concerns associated with Campus Vision 2050 and have informed the development of mitigation strategies.
A holistic approach to planning considered social, ecological, cultural and financial aspects of the plan. Developing the Vision involved technical and design analysis and metrics, leading urban design and sustainable community planning research, and promising practices review.
The Campus Vision 2050 engagement approach builds on Campus + Community Planning's Engagement Charter, and includes fore-fronting principles of equity, diversity and inclusion, building trust, providing diverse ways to meaningfully engage and ensuring clear communication and transparency.
