Stadium District Development Permit Progress PROJECT OVERVIEW The Stadium Shopping Centre has been a community asset within University Heights since, predating the University of Calgary. Located at the intersection of th Avenue and Uxbridge Drive W, the project has provided local retail to residents, students, and professors. As the neighborhood expanded to include new amenities such as the CTrain, McMahon Stadium, and Foothills Hospital, the Stadium District has been unable to adapt to the growing number local users and their diverse needs. The new Stadium District will transform the area into a socially diverse, mixed-use, urban environment that supports a wide range of uses and users within University Heights and the City of Calgary. This environment will promote an accessible and walkable urban area that is safe and accessible. To make Stadium District one of Calgary s most livable, sustainable developments, the project synthesizes: A wide range of uses from residential to retail to office to hotel to communal gathering spaces A multimodal transportation network that balances the ability to access the Stadium District by automobile, transit, bicycle, and foot 0 0 0 A design that creates a dynamic ground level environment reflecting the needs of the community at large LEGED Primary Entrance/ Roundabout An emphasis on providing sustainable, green infrastructure that contributes to a healthy urban living environment, looking to achieve LEED D status. A series of interconnected open spaces that are universally navigable and provide passive and active recreation opportunities for all area residents. These elements of healthy urban living shall create new connections for the University Heights community. ew and existing residents will continue to have their day to day needs met at local retail amenities while walking through a more enjoyable pedestrian environment. A centrally located plaza will promote a safe atmosphere for residents of all ages to come together. The new Stadium District will become a community asset for residents to call their own for generations to come. A hub for activity in University Heights, it will continue to be helping to drive the community into the future. 0 Residential & Grocery ( Flrs.) Residential & Retail ( Flrs.)

Massing Refinement Moving from the master plan to schematic design, the design process progressed and improvements were made. PLAZA PAVILIO LOCATIO Further direct sunlight simulation showed that the pavilion was occupying the sunniest spot in the original masterplan. The pavilion has been relocated to an area that receives the least direct sunlight and is conceived as a glass garden pavilion to allow far natural light. The sunniest spot of the plaza is now available for public use. 0 0 RESIDETIAL MASSIG A linear form with central corridor provides more units with views to the park on one side and to the plaza on the other.

Parkade TH R O The user experience and design of the proposed parkade has been given careful consideration and will incorporate proper way finding, lighting and safety. The Parkade is a level underground structure situated below the entire site. It contains the vast majority of on-site public and private parking, secured bicycle parking, mechanical and electrical building systems as well as waste and recycling storage for the development. The parkade provides connections from parking to the above plaza amenities and retail areas. Level P parking serves the Retail, Hotel, and Office users. The primary ramp for vehicles using the site is on the west side of the site with a secondary parkade ramp for Hotel and Office on the east side, two exit-only ramps; one at northwest corner of the site exiting onto Unwin Road and a second at the east edge of the site turning south onto Uxbridge Drive.
