We are working toward this vision by engaging across campus communities and partnering with and learning from campus Host Nations who, for millennia, have been stewards and caretakers of the lands upon which our campuses are located. We approach our work with a recognition of changing global circumstance and uncertainty and balance our work in planning, design, development management, public engagement, community building and sustainability with both a sense of humility and urgency.
Our work is informed and inspired by:
Reciprocity between people, place and academic mission
We see the campus as a living lab to support the academic mission. We work in partnership with our community to test ideas, think big and guide decisions based on what can and should be done.
Nurturing and respecting our physical environment
We champion planning, designing, building and operating in ways that enhance our physical environment and strengthen our community.
Building and enabling our community
Our work is fundamentally respectful of individual, community, and ecological wellbeing. We work towards reconciliation in partnership with Musqueam, leading to unique, mutually beneficial solutions.
Planning with purpose and engagement
We work within our unique governance structure and are accountable to many stakeholders, and look for meaningful ways to facilitate better conversations.
