CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT PLAN PRESENTATION May 009
Introduction Development Plan Scope and Criteria ECS was commissioned in June 008 to prepare a Campus Development Plan to guide campus development to 013 and beyond. The Campus Development Plan models future academic activities, explores how these requirements could be implemented on campus and calculates order-of-magnitude space requirements to describe a general direction for Humber to further develop and improve campus facilities.
Purpose of the Development Plan A roadmap to guide directions for the development and/ or improvement of the campus by identifying a number of principles on how to get there A reference to validate that capital projects and campus development initiatives contribute to the realization of the College s strategic goals, academic plans and operational objectives A resource to describe space needs both internally and externally & is flexible enough to permit changes while specific enough to maintain established priorities
Process Interviews and meetings with senior academic and administrative staff, student leadership members, faculty representatives, and support staff. Assessment of existing campus inventory and calculated instructional space needs based on: Standardized room & seat utilization & hourly targets Future requirements for non-instructional office & support spaces Future requirements for student learner and support spaces Regular presentations of Findings and Observations to the Steering Committee for validation and feedback Presentation of draft Planning Options via Town Hall forums
Context Humber 008-013 Strategic Plan establishes the following priorities for the College: Manage Enrolment Growth Commitment to Teaching and Learning Excellence Commitment to High Quality Services to Support Student Success and Improved Business Practices Commitment to Human Resource Planning and Professional Development ECS believes that the priorities shown in bold green have particular implications for the Development Plan These three priorities are partly contingent on physical changes at the North and Lakeshore campuses

Planning Principles Student Space: Highly visible, easily accessible, and comfortably furnished space should be provided in each academic building for students to study independently, study in groups, and/or gather socially. Faculty Space: Appropriate office space should be provided for all faculty, both full time and part time, clustered by academic department and proximate to the labs, workshops and classrooms where the faculty teach most often. Future Growth: Humber is evolving from a suburban institution to an urban one. New buildings need to be taller and use of public transit must be encouraged.

Planning Principles Student Space Space should be provided in each academic building for students to study independently, study in groups, and/or gather socially. Not all student space needs to be formal or enclosed. Space for students should be highly visible, easily accessible, comfortably furnished, and have wireless capabilities.
Planning Principles Faculty Space Appropriate office space should be provided for all faculty, both full time and contract, in accordance with Humber s space management policy. Whenever practical, faculty offices should be clustered by department. Faculty office space needs to include small meeting rooms to enable faculty to meet privately with students. Departmental clusters should be located proximate to the labs, workshops, and classrooms where the faculty teach most often. This is particularly important for departments that rely extensively on specialized labs and workshops.
Planning Principles Future Growth Humber is evolving from a suburban institution to an urban one. New buildings need to be taller, to make better use of the limited land that is available. Site and building design must encourage use of public transit to reduce the amount of land required for parking and roadways for private transportation. For buildings which will house specialized functions, the design should incorporate expansion either internally, horizontally or vertically.
Planning Principles North Campus The construction of a new 75,000 net assignable square feet building (Option N-A) will provide space for an expanded library and consolidated and enhanced student services. Existing space that will be vacated by library and student services functions will enable Humber to alleviate shortages of space for students and faculty and to provide additional teaching spaces to accommodate enrolment growth. The existing library is best suited for conversion to administrative and faculty offices. Medium and longer term growth can be accommodated in future buildings at the two sites proposed in the campus development plan (Options N-B and N-C).
Planning Principles Lakeshore Campus The space challenges at the Lakeshore campus will not be solved by one new building; a three pronged approach is required. Option L-A, in conjunction with 3170 Lakeshore Drive, will provide additional space for classrooms, light labs, and offices. Option L-B will provide space for an expanded library, consolidated and enhanced student services, and additional academic delivery space. Option L-C will provide space for heavily serviced labs and workshops and other academic space. All buildings are required urgently. The exact sequencing will be determined based on funding availability and other factors.
