Canadian universities get crafty with campus real estate

by Wallace Immen

At Western University in London, Ont., a recently-opened curved building - the Ronald D. Schmeichel Building for Entrepreneurship and Innovation - has transformed an underused space into a campus gateway.

Twisting a building to comfortably fit into a limited space, replacing parking lots with housing and turning busy boulevards into pedestrian zones are just some ways that Canadian universities are getting creative with their use of real estate.

Over the last several years, campuses have had to figure out how to maximize their space to accommodate growing programs and enrolments, which are on the rise across Canada.
