CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 6
DC Key Stakeholder Issues
Enrollment Growth• Durham College projected to grow at 3% per year – 15% over 5
years• Greatest impediment to growth is lack of space
Academic Programs • Potential Hospitality and Tourism program• Increased training to address the skilled trades shortages• Durham Regional Police satellite station• New energy programs at Whitby campus (energy incubator)• Potential new Fine Arts/Media and Health Sciences programs
Major Facility Needs• Relocate shared service areas from A, B, C and D wings into a new
'one-stop shopping' student services building• Decommission portables and reclaim shared service areas in A, B, C
and D wings with teaching and learning spaces• Cluster programs by school in the Willey building to reinforce school
identity• Introduce new Hospitality and Tourism facility• Create a joint Health Sciences building in A4 with UOIT• Potential Media, Arts and Design Centre
CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 7
DC Key Stakeholder Issues
Quality of Space and Student Life Environment• Enhance the quality of instructional space• Improve the quality and quantity of study spaces,
including quiet study areas• Improve quality and quantity of office and
conference spaces for full and part time faculty• Need for informal meeting spaces for faculty, staff
and students to create a sense of community• Constrained dining facilities need to be addressed
CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 8
Instructional Space Analysis
Purpose• Project current and future space needs for each
institution
Methodology• Interviews with UOIT and DC stakeholders • Council of Educational Facility Planners International
space planning guidelines • Initial analysis of instructional space with subsequent
examination of all space types
Assumptions• Weekly student contact hours (WSCH) generated from
the Fall 2008 Course Schedules for UOIT and DC• Fall 2008 enrollment figures and instructional space
inventory supplied by UOIT and DC• In the absence of registration data for Trent students,
course enrollments were assumed to be 65 percent of room capacity
• Full space inventory for DC currently being developed
CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 9
Preliminary Space Needs
Durham College – Distribution of Classroom Student Contact Hours• Sections sizes of 26 – 50 students account for 73 percent of classroom
instruction

Preliminary Space Needs Summary
Durham College Summary• The majority of classroom contact hours are
generated in small to mid-sized rooms• Very high level of classroom utilization
confirms little scheduling flexibility in existing classroom supply
• Low levels of occupancy in large classrooms indicate additional capacity may be available if section sizes can be increased
• Laboratory utilization and occupancy are well above target and suggest possible overuse of room

Key Stakeholder IssuesPreliminary Space Needs
UOIT
CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 17
UOIT Key Stakeholder Issues
Research at UOIT• Insufficient research space • Goal to grow graduate enrollment with focus in sciences, engineering and
energy• Opportunity for partnerships with industry:
Automotive Energy IT Health
• Potential to develop high tech research park on North Campus• Immediate plans for Cyber Crime Center, possibly on North Campus
CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 18
UOIT Key Stakeholder Issues
Enrollment Growth• Expected growth in CJPS, Communications and
Business undergraduate and graduate programs• Shortage of space is a constraint to growth
Academic Programs • Goal to deliver market-oriented programs to meet GTA
higher education needs• Potential Health Sciences program with link to Queens• Business and IT as separate Faculties
Major Facility Priorities • Development of Downtown Campus with CJPS,
Business and Communications programs• Decommission UL and U5• Build A4 for Energy and Nuclear Science• Build A5 for Health Sciences• Additional office and classroom space• 'One-stop shopping' student services building

Preliminary Space Needs Summary
UOIT• High levels of classroom utilization in both the
daytime and evening• Mismatch between classroom and section sizes
accounts for low levels of occupancy• Low levels of occupancy suggest opportunities
to better align classes with room sizes • Potential to accommodate enrollment growth in
labs given low levels of utilization and occupancy

Campus Stakeholder IssuesDesign PrinciplesCampus Analysis
Shared Campus
CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 27
Campus-wide Stakeholder Issues
Housing and Student Life • Demand for student housing on or near the campus• Need to enhance on-campus student life opportunities • Existing student centre inadequate
Town-Gown• Students living in adjacent neighborhoods an issue• Institutions as economic generators:
Downtown campus Research park Workforce training
Institutional Relationships• Continue to build on opportunities inherent in shared
campus • Desire for individual institutional identity within shared
campus• Movement towards greater independent functions in
some areas, e.g. Advancement
CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 28
Campus Stakeholder Issues
Identified Shared Facility Priorities • Expand study spaces in library (learning commons) and throughout campus • Event space – auditorium, meeting rooms for career fairs, etc.• Student life spaces – group study, lounge, clubs, social spaces and student
center• 'One-stop' student services building:
Housing office Writing center ESL department 1st year experience drop in center Center for Students with Disabilities Career resource center IT front-counter services Bookstore Cafeteria Other (e.g. registrar, bursar, financial aid, academic advising)?
CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 29
Design Principles
• Design the campus to support the mission of each institution• Strengthen the identity of each institution by:
Defining their entry and arrival sequences Creating an identifiable heart Developing a strong sense of orientation for each institution
• Improve the physical organization and legibility of the campus• Locate student life and shared spaces at the campus core to promote a vibrant
social learning environment• Build a compact academic core to support a collegiate setting and walkable
environment• Design buildings and outdoor spaces sustainably and in response to the natural
and cultural landscape• Rationalize circulation with smooth transitions from car to parking to
pedestrian• Enhance the surrounding urban setting through development

ConnectionsCirculation Issues and Conflicts:
• Difficult pedestrian road crossing
• Narrow sidewalks along major corridor create pedestrian-vehicular conflict
• Narrow hallway inadequate for main interior circulation route
• Bus loop traffic impinges on open spaces in front of the Willey Building
• Informal crossings to the Dalhousie neighborhood
• Ineffectual left turn prohibition at Founders Gate exit
• Inadequate pedestrian and vehicular wayfinding

Questions and Discussion
CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 63
Program DirectionUOIT: Main Campus, Downtown
• Focus UOIT science and technology programs on the core of the campus • UOIT Business, CJPS and Communications programs move downtown
DC: Oshawa Campus, Whitby, Downtown• DC continues growth of existing programs at Oshawa campus • Focus on DC Media, Arts and Design centre• Continue to focus DC skilled trade programs at Whitby• Possible expansion of DC programs to include hospitality and tourism programs
Preliminary Physical Form and Density AlternativesConcentrated Core:
• To extent possible, concentrate academic uses in core campus to enhance student and faculty interaction
• Long-term densification will require significant percentage of structured or remote parking• May require relocation of baseball field north of Conlin
Distributed Functions North and South of Conlin:• UOIT graduate, professional, institutes and research north of Conlin• Selected shared student life, housing, recreation and parking functions north of Conlin• Consider location for community-oriented programs, e.g. Hospitality, event space
