Phase 2 of the Campus Master Plan underway

In addition to sharing a campus in North Oshawa, including many campus spaces and facilities, Durham College (DC) and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) share a commitment to providing students with innovative and rewarding post-secondary education.

As part of that commitment, the college and university also share a need to provide new classrooms, laboratories and infrastructure required to support the learning of future students, teachers and researchers.

To support this important and necessary growth, DC and UOIT are working together on a Campus Master Plan designed to address the future expansion and needs of both institutions including decisions on:

• The best location on our properties for building new facilities.
• How to effectively use our existing space.
• The planning of transportation routes to align with neighbouring communities.
• The type of campus infrastructure required including funding opportunities.

Phase 1 of the Campus Master Plan included input from DC and UOIT students and staff on a Vision and Directions Report and Framework Plan. Both documents can be found on the project website.

We are pleased to announce that the project has now moved into Phase 2.

Phase 2 includes more opportunities for input from students and staff:

• Visit the project website for updates on the project.
• A workshop will be held on Monday, October 20, 2014:
  • Workshop details to be posted on the website in early October.
  • A reminder email will be circulated two days prior to the workshop.
• Submit comments via the comment board.
• Online surveys relating to specific Master Plan topics will be posted on the website over the next few months.
• Provide comments via Twitter and Facebook.
