Sloping greenways filled with trees and bike paths lead down to the Rideau River, where a small boathouse and dock sit. Dedicated students pull out their rowing gear early in the morning. Later in the day, late-comers will take canoes out on the water.
With all the bike paths, walkways and the two LRT stations on the campus, the need for cars has been almost eliminated. King Edward Avenue bustles with people looking for something to do between classes, coming and going from book stores and cafés.
Welcome to the future of the University of Ottawa — or at least, the campus it hopes to achieve.
The university recently released its campus master plan, which lays out the development goals for the next 20 years. Officials began drawing up the plan about 2 1/2 years ago, and since then it has become a schoolwide initiative, with feedback from planning committees, board members, students and president Allan Rock — plus the involvement of development company Urban Strategies.
The plan is part of the school’s strategy plan “Destination 2020,” which aims to improve student experience, research enterprise and bilingualism on campus. The master plan is a preliminary look at what the University of Ottawa wants for the future.
“It’s a visionary exercise about what the campus can be,” said Marc Joyal, vice-president of resources at the University of Ottawa. “The exercise opened our eyes to what is the art of possibilities. Now, we can dream. We can expand, we can do different things. It doesn’t mean we are going to do all of those things, but at least it gives us a sense.”
The school says the plan is meant to encourage overall campus involvement, and that the hope is to introduce a new range of what it considers to be contemporary facilities, buildings with more than one use, to provide places where students and staff are able to go between work and class.

GREEN SPACE
For years, there has been no green development plan, and there has never been an open space master plan, said George Dark, managing partner of Urban Strategies, the company working with the university to bring the master plan to fruition. So the university is making an effort to listen to people on the subject and will do its best to integrate the river into the campus by offering parks and paths that lead up to it.
“We want to increase the amount of space and the quality of space for walking and biking,” said Dark. “Instead of there being a big sea of asphalt, we want more trees and parks and green.”
First on the lengthy to-do list to reach the far-off goal was the completion of the new Grande Allée in front of Tabaret Hall. What used to be a bumpy, broken walkway, is now a newly paved and clean extended pathway in front of the school’s most iconic building.
“Tabaret Hall is the university’s most … publicly recognized architecture symbol and image of the university,” said Joyal. “It’s a building that shows that we’re proud of our heritage and our history and that we’re moving forward with our future.”
The new social science building, completed in the fall of 2012, will be further improved by replacing the nearby parking lot with a more scenic and central open space to help in renewing the core of the university and making it more pedestrian friendly. Construction on the parking lot is expected to begin this spring and last until fall.
DEMOLITION U
But green space isn’t the only thing in the master plan. In the central core of the university, there are five or six new buildings that may be built.
Some old buildings, such as Brooks residence on King Edward and the Faculty of Health buildings, will be demolished and replaced. Others may be assessed and added to the list for demolition in later years, depending on how well they’ll stand up long-term.
In 1965, there were approximately 4,300 students at the school, which grew to around 15,000 by 1974. It was that 10-year period when many of the buildings were established. Although there have been buildings added since then, the core was originally intended for a much smaller population, so some will need to be replaced in order to accommodate the more than 50,000 people the university hopes will walk through its doors annually 20 years from now.
The buildings on 17.3 acres of land on Lees Avenue that the university purchased from Algonquin College are also on the list of buildings to be demolished. But for the time being, the old college buildings will be re-purposed to suit the university’s needs.
In the future vehicles will not be permitted on university property and this parking lot will become a green space as part of greening the university. The University of Ottawa has released its campus master plan.
CAMPUS LIFE
Plans for small cafés, book stores, banks, and just an assortment of places to go and things to do on King Edward and Laurier are in the works in an effort to fully integrate the main road and build a strong face for the university.
Much of the plan aims to create multi-use spaces, such as parks, paths and buildings.
Multi-use buildings will incorporate academic purposes with office space, research and experiment areas, retail locations, and could house future partnerships with different institutes, NGOs and external research facilities.
“We’re a university, so that’s what we’re about; teaching, research, the transfer of knowledge, and having the opportunity to socialize and discover different things,” said Joyal. “It’s going to say to the world that the University of Ottawa is here and it’s ready to do research with other countries, other universities. It’s ready to receive students from all around the world, and it’s a great place to study, work, and live.”
The campus will be very pedestrian-friendly to encourage the use of the two LRT stations to be installed, one on campus where the current bus station stands and the other on Lees Avenue, once the trains are running in 2018.
Even after the 20 years are up, the school expects to keep evolving by continually updating the master plan.
