Zone 4 – Odette School of Business and
Wyandotte Landscaping
The area east of the Odette building is
an extension of the Community Commons
Park, creating a new link from the centre
of campus to the Ed Lumley Centre for
Engineering Innovation with seating areas
at the corner of Wyandotte and California.
Large trees will provide more shade on the
front lawn of the Odette building.
Estimated
completion: 2014/15
Zone 5 – Sunset Avenue Closure
and Renewal
The existing asphalt street, curb and
sidewalks will be replaced with a level
pedestrian route featuring new lighting,
patterned paving, large trees and more
landscaping against the buildings. Artful
signage featuring UWindsor programs
will line the new esplanade.
Estimated
completion: 2014/15
Zone 6 – River Commons Landscaping
Located between Lambton Tower, the
Biology Building and Chrysler Hall South,
the River Commons will be a signature
space that celebrates our location on the
Detroit River.The design features coloured
paving, seating and landscaping that will
create an abstract map of the river and its
islands, the bridge and the campus location
within the region. Patterns in the pavement
represent the historical farm settlements
that form the area’s first concession roads. A
pergola structure to the south will visually
align with the entrance to Essex Hall.
Estimated completion: 2014/15
Zone 7 – Welcome Centre Commons
This conceptual design represents
what could be envisioned for the corner of
Wyandotte and Sunset once the School of
Music moves to the downtown campus.
The proposal will be dependant on the final
design of the Welcome Centre, linking
the central gateway to campus with the
adjoining zones in the overall Campus
Master Plan.
Estimated completion: 2016/17
