HÂþ»â€™s Campus Master Plan (2010) calls for a re-design of the area at the top of University Avenue, adjacent to the Killam Library. The goal is to make this area a vibrant and diverse public outdoor space. The 200th anniversary in 2018 presents an opportunity to design this area so it reflects HÂþ»â€™s values heading into a third century, and supports the university’s commitment to inclusivity and diversity. This part of campus, at the historic heart of HÂþ», is symbolic. It has the potential to become a unique expression of inclusivity and a gathering place for everyone. The bicentennial year is an opportunity for the university to make visible its identity as a diverse and inclusive institution, acknowledging indigenous, colonial and post-colonial perspectives and to represent the university’s past, present, and future.
Please share your thoughts , or at one of three public engagement sessions. Â ()
The first is Thursday, February 28, 2:30-4:00 pm, Student Union Building Lobby.
The next two are:
March 14, 10:30-12 Killam Library Atrium
March 22, 11:30-1:30 Howe Hall adjacent to the meal hall.
Your input is needed to help shape a vision and guiding principles for the new outdoor space. The vision and guiding principles will inform the design.
