In that master plan they had a phase 1, phase 2, phase 3 up till 2016 but none of it materialized other than the 1 building across the street on Woodroffe. Most of those empty lots, parking lots of park-n-rides should be developed. With Algonquin still being fairly central and having a bus network and a future LRT station, that land should be used for high density, not for park-n-rides.

Wikipedia says Carleton has ~32,000 students, U of O is ~48,000 students, and Algonquin has 56,000 (19,000 full-time; 37,000 part-time). I don't know what those were 20 years ago - but maybe their growth has been mostly part-time students?
Those could be mostly evening, weekend or online students. If so - Algonquin could use be getting more use out of their buildings by using them more in off peak hours.
