The University of Guelph Real Estate Division is seeking a team of qualified professionals to develop a comprehensive strategic land use plan. The strategic land use plan will consist of a redevelopment and intensification strategy for the Universitys real estate holdings, a phased implementation plan and a gross floor area analysis by level for the proposed redevelopment plan of each site. Urban design and connectivity to the surrounding community will be an integral component to this work. Adjacent to the University, and within the geographic centre of the City of Guelph, the strategic land use plan will illustrate the envisioned massing and the relationship between built form, connectivity, land uses and open spaces. The strategic land use plan will prioritize a built form that leverages density, proximity and mix of uses, including but not limited to residential, commercial, retail, student housing, laboratory, greenspace, and community amenities to enhance sense of place by planning for development that fosters connection, convergence, innovation, entrepreneurship, economic resiliency and livability. To ensure integration with the surrounding community, the strategic land use plan will be designed to be truly pedestrian and transit oriented. As such, the Respondent will provide a conceptual urban design and connectivity plan. Stakeholder engagement will play a key role in informing the development of the strategic land use plan. The successful Supplier will facilitate stakeholder engagement on behalf and in collaboration with the Real Estate Division.
