This document specifically addresses Sectors 3 and 4 on the North Campus. (Refer to Figure 1). The purposes for In June 2002, the Board of Governors of the University of the Sector Plans are: Alberta adopted a Long Range Development Plan (LRDP) for the University, establishing a vision for shaping and guiding • To develop a vision for development and redevelopment future growth, development and redevelopment at the four compatible with the principles of the LRDP.
