Ryerson University Strategic Master Plan Ryerson University is committed to developing a “Master Plan” to establish a framework for growth, renewal and place-making for the University and to act as a catalyst for change. Ken Greenberg has been selected in association with Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects of Toronto and Daoust Lestage Inc. of Montreal to prepare this ‘Framework’ for the future. The Master Plan will address a number of broad themes that will define the shape and character of the University for the coming decades - the evolving character of Ryerson as a dynamic contemporary University; re-inventing the heart of the campus, locating major areas for growth and transformation, the character of the public realm of the campus for both daytime and nighttime activity; the ability to increase close-in housing opportunities; the overlapping of campus and city life; the outreach to the surrounding community; affirming the Ryerson University identity; and ensuring a commitment to design excellence and sustainability. This Master Plan project presents a unique opportunity to engage the University community in influencing not only the future direction of a great urban university campus but also the future development of a significant neighborhood and community in the heart of Toronto.
