1 2014 Health PUBLIC REALM Precinct Improvements 1 CAMPUS + COMMUNITY PLANNING UBC Properties Trust Karen Kiest Landscape Architects DESIGN UPDATE University of British Columbia Driven by keen stakeholder interest, project scope redefi nition, historical research and AUDP input, the Concept Plan has evolved. DRC Development Application June 5, 2014 STRENGTHENED PEDESTRIAN PRECINCT Preliminary design focused on the need to improve the circulation spine between Koerner and Purdy -- a melange of fi re, service, patient drop off, interhospital patient transfer, fuel delivery, portable MRI etc. The proposal was well supported by the AUDP to return service delivery to the perimeter of the space. However, the AUDP raised the concern that as you move towards East Mall the vehicular path (Health Sciences Mall) still creates a division in your perception of your ability as a pedestrian to use that space. UBC responded by advancing a long-term recommendation -- transformation of Heath Sciences Mall into a pedestrian way. Additional survey work, civil design, stakeholder meetings and C&CP meetings have provided a design for a pedestrian mall north of the Purdy Patient Drop off. Expanded pedestrian pavements now provide a continuous pedestrian and bike zone from Applied Sciences Lane through the Health Precinct. REVITALIZED REFUGE The Health Precinct is distinct from other sections of the campus with the population of acute care and long term care patients, their care providers and their family, in need of support and solace. It is a year-round, 24-hour operation. In addition to the circulation concerns, the people seek places for a break from the worries and work within the walls of the Koerner Pavilion, the Purdy Pavilion, the Detwiler Pavilion, and now the Brain Health Centre. Patient Park has long provided a respite. Our original consensus was that Patient Park needed more of touch-up than a facelift. Input from the April 3 AUDP challenged that assumption. The AUDP raised questions about the 1980s geometry, recommending that it is diffi cult to think afresh unless you substantially re-do what is there already. We maintain that Patient Park has a character of refuge that should be retained in the project. Part of the response has been to provide a better cultural context for the design as provided by the report by Architect James Burton. The report helps substantiate the value of the original design, and assessment of its worth within the Campus context 35 years later. Burton positions that a sense of separateness is key to the value of Patient Park, and to revitalize the refuge, the report recommends: a frame for the Patient Park. This is realized by transformation or the Heath Sciences Mall into a pedestrian precinct. consider not introducing new pathways that cut through Patient Park we have concluded that a cut-through may not be necessary given the additional visibility and multiple access points provided into the space. CANOPY CONCERNS To increase visibility into Patient Park, the Preliminary Plan recommended removal of the deteriorating section of Pedestrian Canopy. This was well supported by the AUDP, and by Burton as well. However, the AUDP had concerns that the partial restoration of the remaining canopy as identifi ed in the preliminary plan was inadequate. Reinvention of the Pedestrian Canopy to provide a contemporary identify for the Precinct is a big budget item. The Project Team has determined that current funds should focus on the site improvements. CONTEMPORARY CONTEXT However, AUDP s interest to think afresh inspired us to re-envision the design values of Patient Park in a contemporary context. To this end, we have: Retained the trees Removed the walls Redefi ned the geometries of the pavements, walls, and grading The circular layer concept helps to create a distinct sense of place within the framework of the larger sliding plane concept. The circles update the basic essence of the landscape without diminishing the Halprinesque qualities that make this space an oasis in the campus context. The design intent is to remain true to the qualities of Patient Park as a green, lush, naturalistic retreat from the buildings and grid of streets and a restorative relief from the worries of the day.

UBC (C&CP and UBCPT) supports expanding the pedestrian precinct by advancing a longterm recommendation -- transformation of Heath Sciences Mall into a pedestrian way. The proposal, includes reduce pavements from 7 to 6 meters, replace vehicular (asphalt) with pedestrian (concrete) Pavements; provide bollards to restrict vehicular access. Scale 1:600
