“The University of Waterloo has embarked on an exciting initiative to shape the future of our campus,” wrote Jacinda Reitsma, Vice-President, Administration and Finance in a memo to employees circulated this morning. “Just as cities have urban plans, universities have Campus Plans. The new University of Waterloo Campus Plan will serve as a roadmap for how we invest in our buildings, public spaces, sustainability, transportation, and overall campus experience. Now is your opportunity to share your voice.”
“We invite all students, faculty, and staff to take the Campus Plan Survey and provide input on what matters most,” Reitsma writes. “Your feedback will help ensure that our campus supports learning, collaboration, and community life in a way that reflects the needs of our diverse community.”
Take the survey and have your say today
Why your input matters
“Your feedback will be reviewed by the University’s planning team and Brook McIlroy, the prime consultant, to help shape a more sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant Waterloo,” Reitsma’s memo continues. ”The last Campus Plan update was in 2009. Now, we have a unique opportunity to plan for a future-ready Waterloo—one that balances today’s priorities with long-term investments that will strengthen our University for years to come.”
How the survey works
Your participation is completely optional and shouldn’t take more than five to ten minutes. You can answer what questions you want, skip what you don’t, or exit the survey whenever you choose. All responses will be summarized to ensure individual identities will remain protected.
