To create places of learning, research and community in an inclusive, shared and dynamic environment through a focus on Indigenization, heritage, community engagement and innovation.
Concordia’s Campus Master Plan is a framework for the achievement of development projects that will shape the campus of the future.
The plan is a living tool for better coordination with the city and boroughs and lays out where new projects could happen and the values they must respect.
The Campus Master Plan replaces the previous one, which was updated several times and served from 2001 until now.
To provide a concrete spatial vision of Concordia’s next-generation university, five guiding principles in the language of urban design have been identified as the fundamental components that form the basis of the Campus Master Plan.
Contribute to Concordia and its surrounding environment
Create pedestrian-friendly campuses and promote active transportation
Reconcile institutional development with the richness of the built heritage
Redesign learning and research spaces
Develop and diversify spaces that students can appropriate
While the guiding principles relate to physical space and its use, these five filters are fundamental considerations that Concordia must apply whenever it seeks to improve campus spaces.
Contribute to the implementation of the Indigenous Directions Action Plan
Welcome everyone who uses the university and its spaces
Support the Sustainability Action Plan, PLAN/NET ZERØ and more
Create a sense of overall well-being and belonging for the Concordia community
Shape Concordia's built environment to embody who we are
The approach used to elaborate and implement the Campus Master Plan is part of a strategic and concerted process integrated with the City of Montreal's regulatory and planning mechanisms.
Concordia established a close collaboration with the city at the outset of the project to align the university's strategy and policies with those of the city and its boroughs regarding development projects, planning initiatives and regulations.
A consultation and communication process has supported the plan at every stage to ensure the formulation of a collective vision consistent with the ambitions of the Concordia community.
Informing, validating, engaging and providing feedback has been at the heart of the process.
