The future of the block should be ope pen, n, po porous, i int ntegrated, ur urban n and nd fut uture-focu cused! Let’s make the Cooper Building a ce centr tre th that s showcases all of f th the wonderful th things happening here! The site is a pi piece of history that needs to be honoured and maintained. The University of Waterloo buildings need to be designed to compl plement the pub public us usage of the site – not take over the site. We promote ourselves as a forward-thinking community where the arts a are pa part of our ur DN DNA…Now is the time to prove this to our community and our visitors and become lead eader ers i in mak aking t g the e ar arts cent ntral t to our ur c commun unity and economic development.

Celebrate the history of the site by adaptively reusing portions of the original building and site as the Grand Trunk Community Hub. Create a place that reflects Stratford’s community, values, and aspirations. Introduce a fine-grained street and block network that weaves the site into the City
creates development parcels to accommodate future uses. Establish a range of passive and green public spaces, anchored by a central, all season gathering commons. Retain and enhance the significant view corridor at Downie and St. Patrick Streets as the entry portal to the Grand Trunk Community Hub building and site.

Explore the convergence and integration
a successful Community Hub. Integrate a new transit terminal into the site to enhance mobility and transportation options for Stratford. Introduce complementary land uses, such as residential, student and senior living, incubator space, community-based recreation and cultural and hotel uses that can contribute to the long term prosperity of Stratford. Demonstrate design excellence and sustainability in built form, public spaces, program and creative landscapes. Create a reinvestment framework that can accommodate phased development while providing certainty and accountability to the Stratford community and other partners.
