elementslab provided support to UBC Campus and Community Planning (C+CP) during and after a design charrette to assess an evolving campus plan for existing versus proposed capacity, land cover and walkability.  We created both digital and hard models, which were used in a design charrette conducted for several stakeholder engagement events.

Spatially based metrics were linked to the C+CP defined program, principles and strategies. We mapped and analyzed the percentage of the total residential beds, parking spaces, academic and commercial areas within walking distance of the campus transit hubs. We also compared existing capacity of residential beds, parking spaces, academic and commercial floor area against the total proposed capacity reflected in the UBC Okanagan Plan. Visualizations of these metrics were prepared for an Open House in January, 2015 and included in the structural plan.
