Long Range Plan
The Long Range Plan (1990) proposed a total of six options, several adhering to the spirit of the original Development Plan. Highlights of the plan included:
- Science expansion of the south wing (Project 2) in a similar low form bridging a connection to an expanding idea for future academic student housing developing eastward on the opposite coulee.
- South expansion from the south-west corner of the Centre for the Arts with the proposed Library, academic administration and art gallery as program.
- Re-affirming the main entrance to campus and central place of arrival in new entrance to proposed Library facility.
- Expansion of Athletic facilities to the north from existing locations.
- Northward expansion of Sciences again from University Hall.
- West expansion of University Hall from north end of building, creating a quadrangle space in the depressed gully of the coulee area between buildings.
- Enhancement of three access points to University campus areas.
- Research area to the south on newly aquired lands as a distinct area.
- Expansion of student services east of Students' Union and athletic facilities to provide a stronger indoor connection to westward expanding facilities.
- Closed loops of buildings and internal spaces that complete circulation paths in both the north and south halves of campus, Aperture Drive being the central spine.
