Description:
Stores Road on the University of British Columbia campus connects Main Mall with
West Mall and will become a prominent pedestrian and service route. 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,
providing opportunities for education, public gathering, and communication.
UBC's initiative to implement a working model of public realm sustainable design
will lay a solid foundation for the broader mandate to build a valuable demonstration
project to inform and inspire design elsewhere on campus, in the city of
Vancouver, and beyond.
