The University of British Columbia (UBC) was embarking upon the preparation of a new Campus Plan. The Public Spaces Study, one component of the first phase of that work, provides an inventory and analysis of the outdoor and indoor spaces on campus that contribute to the experience and life of the university. The primary spaces were identified, and descriptive and interpretive data was collected and further analyzed to provide an understanding of strengths and weaknesses of the public spaces on campus. Recommendations were provided for design improvements and the planning process. The information is in a GIS that enables flexible display and analysis of the data.
