Precinct Plan (2000)

Research Park Precinct Plan

The Precinct Plan entailed in this report dealt with the first development area beyond the academic core or the 400m walking radius (10 minute walking distance). This Precinct Plan provided direction for the Life Sciences Building project which was to be a laboratory building. The plan contains early schematic design work by a local consultant for the new building and follows guidelines set out in the Master Plan Report and refined in the Precint Plan conformity review process by the master Planner.
