Kingston Provincial Campus

In 2010, planningAlliance was retained by Infrastructure Ontario (formerly Ontario Realty Corporation) to prepare a Master Plan and Block Plan for the Kingston Provincial Campus. Located west of downtown, on the shores of Lake Ontario, the site is anchored by a significant historical presence throughout, including a cultural heritage landscape and many significant historical buildings.

The site currently accommodates a number of uses including the existing Providence Care facility, numerous ministry programs and a publicly accessible waterfront trail. IO is proceeding with a number of steps to assist in strategic accommodation and asset planning for the site to allow for informed decisions regarding future uses, including the potential to utilize part of the western portion of the site for the redevelopment of a new hospital for Providence Care.

The study identifies how to best utilize the lands and buildings based on market demand and contextual analysis while respecting the natural and cultural heritage features on the site. A comprehensive approach to engagement and consultation has been utilized and includes meetings with key stakeholders as well as two interactive consultation sessions with the
general public.
