The impending release of the University Campus Master Plan and forthcoming Strategic Planning are important milestones for the University that will help shape the future of our campus and University community.
One of the University’s goals is to become a comprehensive research university with a strong focus on graduate studies and a foundation in liberal arts. Part of that goal is to provide an up-to-date science program and the U of L has earmarked a new science facility as its highest capital priority.
This endeavour is dubbed The Destination Project and is composed of three main elements: New construction geared toward supporting high-intensity science research and teaching; the redevelopment of vacated space in University Hall for alternate users; and the development of additional campus infrastructure to provide heating and cooling, emergency power, and other related support.
The University Hall Renewal Visioning and Inception Planning Report is the latest milestone in the three-tiered project.
The document describes the long-term vision for University Hall, its future purpose and the conceivable mixture of building uses. It also touches on design principles and the possible reorganization of University Hall’s physical layout.

The U of L celebrated its 45th anniversary last year with several activities and video presentations throughout the year and we were pleased to be a part of it.
