uOttawa Campus Master Plan

[1overcosc]

At most Canadian universities, buildings from the ~1960-1980 era are generally in bad shape. These were generally built quickly and cheaply to handle the massive enrollment influx universities got during that time as a result of the baby boom and increased social equity (prior to 1960, generally only the wealthy would get university degrees), and as such they're in bad shape. Almost all universities in Ontario have plans to either significantly renovate or tear down most of their buildings from that era. The provincial government allocated $500M provincewide for this type of work in last year's budget, so universities now have the money to do this.

U of O will see dramatic change as the bulk of its campus dates from this era.
