<\/a>Schedule 01: Orientation and Placement of Buildings<\/p><\/div>\n
The orientation and placement of buildings is essential to\u00a0creating a friendly environment and is an integral part of\u00a0wayfinding to and within the Campus.\u00a0The physical structure of the Campus essentially follows\u00a0the grid development pattern of the surrounding\u00a0neighbourhood. It is defined by its two streets aligned\u00a0north-south and east-west, and two primary pedestrian\u00a0corridors also aligned north-south and east-west. These are\u00a0the key structural elements that dictate the orientation and\u00a0placement of buildings.<\/p>\n
Most new buildings are hinged along the streets, as\u00a0the adjacent lands present the best opportunities for\u00a0development. The north-south pedestrian spine is a\u00a0remnant structural axis of the heritage campus and is\u00a0enhanced in the Plan with increased frontages and access\u00a0onto the spine. The east-west pedestrian spine is located\u00a0at the centre and heart of the Campus. New buildings are\u00a0located along this spine and are oriented to engage and\u00a0animate this movement corridor and pedestrian space.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Precedent: Buildings front open spaces<\/p><\/div>\n
All new buildings must provide a frontage and\u00a0multiple entrances onto the Campus\u2019 streets and\u00a0primary pedestrian movement corridors.<\/li>\n
- All new buildings must provide a frontage and\u00a0multiple entrances onto the Campus\u2019 open spaces.<\/li>\n
- Site corner gateway buildings (such as at Louise and\u00a0Victoria Avenues) to first address the intersection\u00a0of the street with a visible primary entrance, then\u00a0address the primary street frontages, and thirdly the\u00a0public spaces.<\/li>\n
- Distinct architectural features and interventions such\u00a0as enhanced architectural detail at building corners,\u00a0are encouraged for buildings at gateway locations or\u00a0fronting onto open spaces.<\/li>\n
- Site buildings to allow for direct door connections to\u00a0buildings that are adjacent or opposite to them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Compact Campus Form<\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.brandonu.ca\/campusplan\/files\/built4-300x172.jpg\")
<\/a>Precedent: Develop a compact campus with short walking distances in between.<\/p><\/div>\n
The Plan reflects a compact form of development for\u00a0several key reasons: to create a campus environment\u00a0that fosters walking as the primary mode of movement,\u00a0which contributes to the health and well-being of the\u00a0campus; to create a pedestrian oriented environment\u00a0that is intimate and welcoming; to build an accessible\u00a0University District nestled within the community that can\u00a0provide services, amenities, education, and other uses all\u00a0in one place; and as a respectful neighbour, to discourage\u00a0the erosion of the adjacent neighbourhood fabric to the\u00a0west. The University has the capacity to manage growth\u00a0for the Campus, within its current boundary, for the\u00a0time-frame of the Campus Master Plan, and should focus\u00a0development energies inward on creating a great and\u00a0welcoming place to be.<\/p>\n
Policies:<\/h3>\n\n- Create a compact campus that is walkable, allowing\u00a0for seamless experiences of both the buildings and\u00a0the open spaces.<\/li>\n
- Concentrate development so that buildings are within\u00a0less than a five minute walk on campus from end to\u00a0end.<\/li>\n
- Locate buildings so that there are short walking\u00a0distances in between. This is especially relevant for a\u00a0winter campus.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
