It provides information to inform neighbourhood planning at UBC, including the Stadium Road Neighbourhood Plan process. The Community Profile describes UBC as it is today. It also includes information on policies that guide how the campus changes. From fall 2017 to spring 2019, UBC will work with the campus community to create the Stadium Road Neighbourhood Plan for the area around Thunderbird Stadium. The Neighbourhood Plan will be informed by public and stakeholder engagement, existing policies, technical studies, and information such as this Community Profile. A note on data sources Data in the Community Profile come two primary sources: UBC s analysis of Statistics Canada s 2011 and 2016 Census results, and existing UBC data.

3 HISTORY + CONTEXT Campus History UBC s Point Grey campus is located on unceded, traditional x w məθ w k w əý w əm (Musqueam) territory. The x w məθ w k w əý w əm people ha been present in their traditional territory, which includes the Unirsity Endowment Lands, all of present-day Vancour, and surrounding areas, since time immemorial. The Gornment of British Columbia chose Point Grey as the site for UBC in The site was close to but not part of the province s growing industrial and cultural centre, Vancour. It also offered commanding views or the Georgia Strait and land for research. At the time, the Minister of Education said UBC would be a small city which is capable of being made one of the most interesting and beautiful in the world. Sharp and Thompson s 1914 Campus Plan provided the framework for UBC s growth. In 1920, the province set aside 3,000 acres of Point Grey as the Unirsity Endowment Lands, with the plan to delop housing to fund UBC. The campus grew slowly in its early years, accelerating through the 1950s to the 1980s, when UBC built much of the existing academic core. In the late 1980s, two decisions shaped UBC s future: the creation of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, and delopment of the first campus residential community in Hampton Place. Since that time, UBC s academic population has grown rapidly to more than 50,000 students and 14,000 faculty and staff, along with new facilities, student housing, and six mixed-use campus neighbourhoods Sharp and Thompson, Campus Plan, 1914 UBC Great Trek, The Musqueam Post Aerial view of Point Grey Campus, 1925 Aerial view of Point Grey Campus,

4 Regional Context The Point Grey campus is on Metro Vancour s far western edge, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, Pacific Spirit Regional Park and the Unirsity Endowment Lands. Though the campus is associated with Vancour, UBC is actually outside of municipal boundaries. With nearly 2.5 million people, Metro Vancour is Canada s third largest urban region. Nearly 1 million more people are projected to li in Metro Vancour by A Regional Growth Strategy shapes how Metro Vancour will accommodate this growth. The Regional Growth Strategy focuses on fi key goals: 1) Create a compact urban area 2) Support a sustainable economy 3) Protect the environment and respond to climate change impacts 4) Delop complete communities and 5) Support sustainable transportation choices. As the region s single largest educational institution and employment destination, UBC s campus delopment supports the Regional Growth Strategy.

It describes a broad vision for a complete, sustainable and integrated unirsity community. It also sets out areas for academic activities and neighbourhood housing. The provincial gornment appros UBC s Land Use Plan. UBC s Board of Gornors appros detailed policies to carry out the Land Use Plan s vision. On academic lands, the Vancour Campus Plan policies guide delopment. These policies include more student housing, improving outdoor spaces, and using the campus as a living laboratory. In campus neighbourhoods, UBC s Board of Gornors appros Neighbourhood Plans to guide residential delopment. These Plans include specific policies for features like park space, recreation, transportation and building height. Other UBC policies that influence delopment include the 20- Year Sustainability Strategy, Housing Action Plan, Climate Action Plan, Transportation Plan, and GamePlan: UBC s 20-Year Athletics and Recreation Facilities Strategy.

5 Stadium Neighbourhood Stadium Road Neighbourhood will be UBC s next campus community. Located near the middle of campus, the area is an exciting opportunity to connect different parts of UBC: Thunderbird Stadium and the Thunderbird Park sports fields, the existing Hawthorn and Wesbrook Place neighbourhoods, UBC s Botanical Gardens, and academic facilities. Amendments to UBC s Land Use Plan in 2011 designated these lands as a future Neighbourhood Housing Area. The Stadium Road Neighbourhood Plan will focus on a study area of approximately 22 acres, or 2% of UBC s 994-acre campus. The plan will also consider possible longterm scenarios for surrounding roads and areas.

The Plan will provide clear and flexible direction to guide the area s delopment. This will include topics like parks and open space, services and amenities, types of housing, transportation connections, and building types. It will also include the location for a rebuilt Thunderbird Stadium within the study area as part of the implementation of GamePlan: UBC s 20-Year Athletics and Recreation Facilities Strategy. The Plan will be deloped in collaboration with the UBC community and other stakeholders through a broad and dirse public engagement strategy. UBC s Engagement Principles define how the unirsity engages the public and campus community in an open conrsation about planning and delopment. There will be many ways to provide input into the planning of this new neighbourhood, both in-person and online.

6 UBC S ENDOWMENT Endowment beneficiaries include scholarships, bursaries, student housing, research centres, and faculty affordability housing programs. UBC s Endowment provides ongoing financial support for research and funding to enable academic excellence. The Endowment includes generous donations individuals and groups. It also includes renue land delopment. UBC is the steward for 994 acres of campus endowment lands. The province ga these lands to UBC almost 100 years ago with the vision that land delopment would support a margin of excellence beyond what a publicly-funded unirsity could achie. UBC generates land delopment renue by leasing neighbourhood lands for 99 years and by deloping and managing rental housing. UBC then endows the renue, which generates income to support the academic mission. In this way, UBC presers both its lands and the renue in perpetuity for faculty, students, research and staff. Other unirsities also use their land endowment to support their academic mission. In Canada, Simon Fraser Unirsity, the Unirsity of Calgary, and others ha deloped mixeduse neighbourhoods to build community and generate renue. Internationally, unirsities like Oxford and Cambridge use their land in similar ways.

7 LIVING AT UBC Museum of Anthropology at UBC UBC has evold a commuter campus to a complete unirsity community for living, working and playing. The campus is also a regional destination, attracting people to world-class cultural, sports and leisure attractions. In the neighbourhoods, residents ha access to two community centres, extensi green space, childcare spaces, primary and secondary schools, health facilities, and commercial services including a grocery store, restaurants, pubs and coffee shops. Outside of the neighbourhoods, residents ha access to academic facilities that provide amenities not typically found in a community of 11,000 people. These include museums, libraries, the Aquatic Centre, gardens, food and drink, ice rinks, outdoor space and cultural facilities. Build a complete and integrated unirsity community for living, working and studying in harmony with the environment.

10 WHO LIVES HERE When classes are in session, there are nearly 80,000 staff, faculty, students and residents at UBC s Point Grey campus each day. Thousands more visitors come to UBC s museums, Hospital, Aquatic Centre and other facilities. Altogether, more people are on UBC s campus than li in most BC cities, including West Vancour, Prince George and New Westminster. Campus residents are a growing part of this community. There are now more than 11,000 people living in campus residential neighbourhoods, and nearly 12,000 students living in on-campus student housing.

12 WHERE PEOPLE LIVE Hampton Place UBC campus residents li in fi six neighbourhoods Hampton Place, East Campus, Chancellor Place, Hawthorn Place, Unirsity Boulevard, and Wesbrook Place. Student housing is primarily in UBC s academic core. People at UBC li in different types of housing. Hampton Place, built in the early 1990s, has many townhome and lowrise apartments. Reflecting regional urban trends, newer neighbourhoods like Wesbrook Place include taller multi-family buildings, along with more community services like a grocery store, restaurants and community centre. People at UBC also li in different housing arrangements, known as tenures. These include condominium ownership under 99-year leases, rental housing at market rates, and restricted rental housing for specific groups, such as seniors, or at reduced rates, such as faculty-staff housing. Housing affordability is a growing and obvious challenge in Metro Vancour. UBC s Housing Action Plan includes programs and policies to support faculty and staff housing. With 503 faculty-staff rental units at below-market rates, UBC is Metro Vancour s largest provider of workforce housing. This is projected to grow to at least 778 by UBC s policies support a range of different housing types, tenures and sizes in campus neighbourhoods. The campus neighbourhood population grew by 32% between 2011 and Statistics Canada Wesbrook Place Existing UBC Policy Up to 30% of new housing built at UBC will be rental and up to 20% will be below-market faculty-staff rental Provide a range of housing types and sizes Maximum 65 metre building heights Maximum 3.5 Floor Space Ratio Sources: Land Use Plan 22 Wesbrook Place Hawthorn Green 23

15 All campus residents are within 500m of either a community shuttle or bus stop. GETTING AROUND There are 140,000 trips to and UBC each day. Transportation is important to connect UBC to the region, and to connect UBC s community to different parts of campus. Transportation to, and around UBC has evold as the campus has changed. Or the past 20 years, trips ha shifted cars to an almost 300% increase in transit tral thanks in large part to the student UPass and other UBC policies. Or the same time, daily trips per person ha decreased almost 17% as UBC adds more community services and facilities. Not surprisingly, walking is the primary way UBC s community gets around the campus. UBC has an extensi pedestrian network in and outside of neighbourhoods. Neighbourhood residents primarily tral the campus by foot, but also tend to cycle and dri more than faculty, staff and students. The future of transportation is in flux at UBC and beyond. The Mayors Council Vision for Metro Vancour Transit and Transportation includes extending rapid transit to campus, which would further shift how people tral to, and around UBC. New technologies like automated hicles could also ha an impact on the campus. UBC s policies are committed to sustainable transportation and flexible to adapt to this changing world. They prioritize walking, cycling and transit and support the delopment of rapid transit to campus.
