ITEM IDENTIFICATION: Capital Project: Report of the Project Planning Committee for Trinity College in the University of Toronto New Student Residence & Academic Building - The Lawson Centre for Sustainability JURISDICTIONAL INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 4.2.3. of the Committee’s terms of Reference, “…the Committee considers reports of project planning committees and recommends to the Academic Board approval in principle of projects (i.e. space plan, site, overall cost and sources of funds).” Under the Policy on Capital Planning and Capital Projects, “…proposals for capital projects exceeding $20 million must be considered by the appropriate Boards and Committees of Governing Council on the joint recommendation of the Vice-President and Provost and the Vice-President, University Operations. Normally, they will require approval of the Governing Council. Execution of such projects is approved by the Business Board.

As per Trinity College Statutes, there is a tricameral governance model in place: Senate (academic and policy matters), Board of Trustees (“Board” - business and financial matters) and Corporation (broad oversight). Major decisions (e.g., hiring architects, hiring construction management, final design approval, approval of funding and expenditures, business model and financing plan, etc.) are subject to oversight by these bodies and their committees, under the guidance of the above-named senior staff and governance leaders.

    Intention to Designate under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act: University of Toronto Back Campus May 14, 2013 Contemporary Photo of Back Campus with Hart House and Soldier’s Tower in background ISSUE BACKGROUND: A recently announced decision to redevelop the University of Toronto Back Campus as two field hockey pitches for the Pan Am games has created a large public expression of interest in preserving the space as a grassed common. A community group formed of University of Toronto faculty and students, as well as members of the surrounding residential areas has submitted a request for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act of the Back Campus as a cultural heritage landscape, for contextual, historical associations and ongoing traditional activities associated with the space. The community group has gathered 5000 signatures on an online petition to protect the Back Campus as a common, community open space, held two demonstrations on campus, as well as one public meeting.
