HISTORY + CONTEXT
Campus History
UBC’s Point Grey campus is located on unceded, traditional
xwməθwkwəýwəm (Musqueam) territory. The xwməθwkwəýwəm people
have been present in their traditional territory, which includes the
University Endowment Lands, all of present-day Vancouver, and
surrounding areas, since time immemorial.
The Government of British Columbia chose Point Grey as the
site for UBC in 1910. The site was close to – but not part of – the
province’s growing industrial and cultural centre, Vancouver. It
also offered commanding views over the Georgia Strait and land
for research. At the time, the Minister of Education said UBC
would be “a small city which is capable of being made one of the
most interesting and beautiful in the world.” Sharp and Thompson’s
1914 Campus Plan provided the framework for UBC’s growth. Sharp and Thompson, Campus Plan, 1914 UBC Great Trek, 1922
In 1920, the province set aside 3,000 acres of Point Grey as the
University Endowment Lands, with the plan to develop housing to
fund UBC. The campus grew slowly in its early years, accelerating
through the 1950s to the 1980s, when UBC built much of the
existing academic core.
In the late 1980s, two decisions shaped UBC’s future: the creation
of Pacific Spirit Regional Park, and development of the first
campus residential community in Hampton Place.
Since that time, UBC’s academic population has grown rapidly to
more than 50,000 students and 14,000 faculty and staff, along
with new facilities, student housing, and six mixed-use campus
neighbourhoods

with the vision that land development would support a ‘margin The Nest

achieve.
UBC generates land development revenue by leasing
neighbourhood lands for 99 years and by developing and
managing rental housing. UBC then endows the revenue, which
generates income to support the academic mission. In this way,
UBC preserves both its lands and the revenue in perpetuity for
faculty, students, research and staff.
Other universities also use their land endowment to support
their academic mission. In Canada, Simon Fraser University,
the University of Calgary, and others have developed mixed-

WHERE PEOPLE LIVE
UBC campus residents live in five six neighbourhoods – Hampton
Place, East Campus, Chancellor Place, Hawthorn Place, University
Boulevard, and Wesbrook Place. Student housing is primarily in
UBC’s academic core.
People at UBC live in different types of housing. Hampton

buildings, along with more community services like a grocery Statistics Canada
store, restaurants and community centre.
People at UBC also live in different housing arrangements,
known as tenures. These include condominium ownership under
99-year leases, rental housing at market rates, and restricted
rental housing for specific groups, such as seniors, or at reduced
rates, such as faculty-staff housing.
Housing affordability is a growing and obvious challenge in
Metro Vancouver. UBC’s Housing Action Plan includes programs
and policies to support faculty and staff housing. With 503
faculty-staff rental units at below-market rates, UBC is Metro
Vancouver’s largest provider of workforce housing. This is
projected to grow to at least 778 by 2021.
Wesbrook Place UBC’s policies support a range of different housing types, tenures
and sizes in campus neighbourhoods.
Existing UBC Policy
• Up to 30% of new housing built at UBC will be rental and
up to 20% will be below-market faculty-staff rental
• Provide a range of housing types and sizes
• Maximum 65 metre building heights
• Maximum 3.5 Floor Space Ratio

GETTING AROUND
There are 140,000 trips to and from UBC each day.
Transportation is important to connect UBC to the region, and to
connect UBC’s community to different parts of campus.
All campus residents are within Transportation to, from and around UBC has evolved as the
campus has changed. Over the past 20 years, trips have shifted
500m of either a community from cars to an almost 300% increase in transit travel thanks in
large part to the student UPass and other UBC policies. Over the
shuttle or bus stop. same time, daily trips per person have decreased almost 17% as UBC Bus Exchange
UBC adds more community services and facilities.
Not surprisingly, walking is the primary way UBC’s community
gets around the campus. UBC has an extensive pedestrian
network in and outside of neighbourhoods. Neighbourhood
residents primarily travel the campus by foot, but also tend to
cycle and drive more than faculty, staff and students.
The future of transportation is in flux at UBC and beyond.
The Mayors’ Council Vision for Metro Vancouver Transit and
Transportation includes extending rapid transit to campus, which
would further shift how people travel to, from and around UBC.
New technologies like automated vehicles could also have an
impact on the campus.
UBC’s policies are committed to sustainable transportation and
flexible to adapt to this changing world. They prioritize walking, Main Mall
cycling and transit and support the development of rapid transit
to campus.
Existing UBC Policy
• Lead in alternative transportation models
• 2040 target: 2/3 of trips to and from campus by walking/

• Connect the campus with a greenway corridor
