Continental breakfast andlunch included.8:45 AM–1:00 PM Meet at Main LobbyOptional Tour Preregistration RequiredWind, Water, and Filtration!Join this informative tour on several new and innovative energysystems in Toronto. Windshare is a renewable energy projectconsisting of a 94-meter tall wind turbine with the capacity tosupply electricity for about 250 households The project plans toconsist of two similar wind turbines on the Toronto’s waterfront.The second project tour will be of the Enwave Deep Lake WaterCooling facility. This facility consists of several lake water intakepipes submerged 300 feet deep to capture naturally cold water.The cold water is used in lieu of traditional electric chillers forcooling. The system capacity will be sufficient for approximately20 million square feet of office space in the downtown core andwill displace 30 mega tonnes of electricity for conventionalchillers.10:45 AM–4:00 PM Meet at Main LobbyOptional Tour Preregistration RequiredYork University: Urbanizing a Suburban CampusYork University is Canada’s third largest university with over45,000 full- and part-time students enrolled in 10 facilities. Themain campus is the 550-acre Keele Campus in the northwest partof Toronto, which has undergone a major capital expansionprogram in the last five years. As part of York’s commitment tosustainability, a focus on regional transportation has decreasedthe number of cars coming to campus resulting in some reductionon demand for parking. Buildings of interest include the awardwinninggreen Computer Science and Engineering Building, thenew business school with executive learning centre, a jointbuilding project with Seneca College focusing on technology, anew residence with sustainable features and the new Fine Artsand classroom building now under construction. York Universityreplaced all exterior signs to integrate the new brand and create acomprehensive campus way-finding system. Lunch is includedand transportation will be provided by York University propanepoweredbuses.Sponsored by architectsAlliance and EllisDon CorporationNOON–8:00 PM V.I.P.

Duffy, Boston College; Thomas B. Flaherty,Central Connecticut State University; Karen E. Hinton and Persis C.Rickes, Rickes AssociatesConvener: Philip Stack, University of AlbertaA major problem in higher education planning today is the failureto integrate the many isolated planning efforts on a givencampus. This workshop will focus on techniques for integratingindividual campus and facilities planning efforts into the broaderinstitution-wide planning process. Anyone who has attempted amaster plan without the priorities established in a strategic plan,or a capital budget plan without a prioritized facilities plan,knows how difficult it is to complete the process as an isolatedactivity. This interactive workshop will address the elementsrequired to integrate campus planning, the role of institutionalvision throughout the process, steps to be taken to realize thevision, avoidance of possible pitfalls along the way, the role offacilities planning in strategic planning, and the need to understanddecision making processes. Various participatory exerciseswill be employed and attendees will be asked to role-play in asimulated case study.1:00 PM–4:30 PM KenoraWorkshop F Preregistration RequiredPlanning for Science: Issues and ApproachesPresenters: Robert E.

Vanderweil Engineers Princeton, Inc.; Eric Weckel,University of PennsylvaniaConvener: Richard Macias, ConsultantAdvances in technology have changed the way that scienceteaching and research are conducted, from the largest researchuniversities to the smallest colleges. This workshop will explorebasic concepts and current trends in the planning and design ofacademic science facilities. Topics include: new pedagogicalmethods, benchmarks for space assignment, organizationalplanning concepts, contrasts between research and teachingfacilities, cost models, and current codes and standards. Theworkshop is intended to assist planners in becoming conversantin the issues of science facilities and enable them to integratewith a science planning team.5:00 PM–7:00 PM Essex BallroomSCUP ConnectionNetwork among new colleagues and greet old friends while youenjoy light refreshments at this informal reception, which is opento all conference guests.8 SCUP–39 • July 17–21, 2004 • Sheraton Centre Toronto • Toronto, Ontario Canada
