Overview: UBC’s Campus + Community Planning (C+CP) is preparing to undertake a comprehensive campus-wide land use planning process called Campus Vision 2050. As part of the pre-planning for this process, they are convening a focus group of students at the end of September. The aim is to bring together a broad representation of up to 30 students in a facilitated discussion to identify some of the key opportunities and needs that the planning process should address. They are also interested to learn how students would like to engage throughout this process. Other focus groups will also be held with staff, faculty, residents, and alumni.

Background: This 2.5 year planning process will launch in early 2022. It is an important opportunity to plan for the evolving needs and aspirations of the university and its community, including how the campus can accommodate future academic needs, UBC’s deepening relationship with Musqueam, housing affordability, connectivity, community well-being, and climate change.

Details: Tuesday September 21 from 4:30-6:30PM at the AMS Nest, with an optional additional hour from 6:30-7:30PM to talk about the engagement process. Food and refreshments will be provided. We strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals to engage fully. For inquiries about accessibility or to request an accommodation, please contact Madeleine Zammar.
