INTRODUCTION
Why an updated Master Plan? Context Plan Langara College has recently experienced a period of rapid and unprecedented student growth that has put a strain on its existing physical resources. With a current FTE student population of 10,500, it has already surpassed the growth expectations that formed the basis of the 2005 Master Plan, pointing to a strong need to re-think the Master Plan to allow it to respond to and support growth beyond today’s enrollment.

Sustainability standards have gone beyond the previously benchmark- OAKRIDGE setting LEED Gold goals of the 2005 Master Plan. Indigeneity and reconciliation are REDEVELOPMENT finally being recognized as core issues locally, nationally and internationally. Langara PROPOSED FUTURE RAPID TRANSIT understands that the campus’ physical environment must also evolve to clearly reflect TRANSLINK REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION STRATEGY these changes.
Finally, student expectations have grown more sophisticated. Welcoming, engaging spaces well equipped with state-of-the-art technology are now expected throughout every post-secondary environment. Langara students no longer want to simply commute CANADA LINE & STATIONS to campus and leave after class; they stay on campus to learn, to collaborate, and to build community. Langara College must continue to embrace these expectations and evolve CAMBIE STREET into the 21st century learning environment that students seek.
