Engagement Principles

Our engagement processes vary in their level of public involvement, ranging from simple notification to consultation through to collaboration. The types of engagement we use vary from project to project and are determined by the mandate, impact and scope of interests for each project.

Engagement opportunities

For significant planning and development projects on campus, it is expected that we will inform and consult with the UBC community, including student government, faculty leadership and our off-campus neighbours as appropriate, using such methods as our website, email, advertisements, information sessions, open houses, online feedback and ideas fairs.

For some projects, leadership groups and community representatives may also participate more closely through collaboration or joint problem solving, such as a workshop, design charrette or advisory committee, where appropriate.
