Site: Stores Road on the UBC Campus. This connects Main Mall with West Mall and will become a prominent pedestrian and service route on Campus.

Problem Statement: To implement a working model of public realm sustainable design and to showcase sustainable design initiatives at UBC. This will lay a solid foundation for the broader mandate to build a valuable demonstration project that can inform and inspire design elsewhere on campus, in the city of Vancouver, and beyond.

Design Solution: Space2place undertook a thorough analysis of the existing site conditions. These were then carefully matched to the program elements proposed for the site. The resulting design simplifies the navigation throught the space to provide enhance the public realm on campus. The South side of the site serves as the green infrastructure filtering the stormwater and providing habitat. The north side of the street serves as the social side of the street, providing opportunities of education, public gathering and communication.
