      that
      is

      a

      for
      the
      UPEI
     
     
      campus,
      held
      its
      second
      of
      three
     
     
      concept
      presentations
      last
      Monday
     
     
      evening
      in
      the
      W.A.
      Murphy
      Student
     
     
      Centre.
     
    

    
     
      The
      presentation
      examined
     
     
      three
      major
      areas
      of
      campus
     
     
      development:
      planning
      and
      design;
     
     
      looking
      at
      the
      requirements
      and
     
     
      possible
      sequence
      of
      construction
      for
     
     
      buildings
      on
      campus;
      appearance,
     
     
      dealing
      mainly
      with
      beautifying
      campus
     
     
      and
      with
      bringing
      that
      feel
      to
      the
     
     
      surrounding
      community,
      and
     
     
      connections;
      with
      development
      along
     
     
      University
      and
      Belvedere
      Avenue,
      as
     
     
      well
      as
      possible
      access
      to
      Mount
     
     
      Edward
      Road.
      The
      ever-present
      call
     
     
      for
      city
      transit
      and
      increased
      parking
     
     
      was
      also
      discussed.
     
    

    
     
      The
      basic
      concept
      for
      this
     
     
      campus
      plan
      was
      to
      consider
      the
      needs
     
     
      of
      UPEI
      for
      the
      next
      30-50
      years
      and
     
     
      on
      that
      basis
      to
      put
      in
      place
      a
      series
      of
     
     
      developments
      so
      as
      to
      accommodate
     
     
      future
      needs.
      These
      requirements
      could
     
     
      include
      a
      larger
      capacity
      for
      cultural
      and
     
     
      conference
      services,
      senior
      access
      to
     
     
      facilities,
      as
      well
      as
      continued
      progress
     
     
      in
      existing
      programs,
      including
      research
     
     
      facilities
      and
      residence
      services.
     
    

    
     
      After
      outlining
      existing
      projects
     
     
      such
      as
      the
      construction
      of
      the
      NRC
     
     
      Building
      and
      the
      new
      residence,
      and
     
     
      AVC
      expansion,
      future
      initiatives
      were
     
     
      discussed,
      including
      the
      expansion
      of
     
     
      Marian
      Hall,
      after
      it
      is
      decommissioned
     
     
      as
      a
      residence,
      to
      accommodate
      space
     
     
      for
      a
      Centre
      for
      Enterprise
      and
     
     
      Entrepreneurship
      in
      conjunction
      with
      the
     
     
      School
      of
      Business.
      Possible
      long-term
     
     
      initiatives
      were
      also
      brought
      forth
      such
     
     
      as
      the
      addition
      ofa
      Visitor’s
      Centre
      to
     
     
      the
      Student
      Centre,
      a
      permanent
     
     
      Central
      Classroom
      Facility
      to
      replace
     
    
   
   
    
     
         
     
    
   
   
    
     
      CC,
      and
      to
      be
      located
      be
      ain
     
     
      Building
      and
      the
      Sports
      Centre,
      as
      well
     
     
      as
      an
      addition
      onto
      Kelley
      Building
      to
     
    
   
   
    
     
      create
      room
      for
      a
      Centre
      for
      Bio--
     
    
   
   
    
     
      business.
      Also
      discussed
      were
      future
     
     
      possibilities
      for
      expansion
      to
      KCI,
      as
     
     
      well
      as
      a
      replacement
      strategy
      for
     
     
      Blanchard
      Hall
      and
      the
      creation
      of
      a
     
     
      residential
      and
      commercial
      “village”
      on
     
     
      the
      southwest
      corner
      of
      campus.
      Also
     
     
      touched
      on
      was
      the
      idea
      of
      eventually
     
     
      developing
      the
      North
      East
      UPEI
     
     
      property.
      In
      addition
      to
      academic
      and
     
     
      residential
      growth,
      emphasis
      was
      also
     
     
      put
      on
      continued
      progress
      in
      research
     
     
      and
      development.
      These
      ideas
      were
     
     
      coupled
      with
      a
      plan
      for
      the
      planting
      of
     
     
      trees
      to
      accent
      the
      existing
      landscape,
     
     
      the
      creation
      of
      a
      more
      comprehensive
     
     
      path
      system
      on
      campus
      so
      as
      to
     
     
      accommodate
      both
      vehicles
      and
     
     
      pedestrians,
      and
      the
      integration
      of
      new
     
     
      entrances
      onto
      campus,
      both
     
     
      pedestrian
      and
      vehicular,
      one
      of
      which
     
     
      would
      enter
      campus
      in
      front
      of
      the
      core
     
     
      quadrangle
      (Main,
      Steele,
      Dalton,
     
     
      Memorial
      and
      Cass)
      so
      as
      to
      introduce
     
     
      visitors
      immediately
      to
      the
      heritage
      and
     
     
      beauty
      of
      UPEI.
      The
      development
      of
     
     
      University
      Avenue
      was
      also
      identified
     
     
      as
      akey
      method
      of
      bringing
      the
      face
      of
     
     
      UPETI
      into
      the
      community.
     
    

    
     
      Although
      the
      members
      if
      the
     
     
      public
      that
      gathered
      were
      decidedly
     
     
      pessimistic
      in
      regards
      to
      the
      abilityto
     
     
      reformat
      entrances
      to
      the
      University
      and
     
    

    
     
      _were
      quick
      to
      point
      out
      minute
      faults
      in
     
     
      the
      plan,the
      presentation
      as
      a
      whole
      was
     
     
      a
      success
      and
      painted
      a
      bright
      picture
     
     
      for
      the
      growth
      and
      expansion
      of
      the
     
     
      existing
      campus.

      provide
     
     
      an
      opportunity

      who
      are
     
     
      seeking
      volunteers
      and
      for
      people
      who
     
     
      would
      like
      to
      become
      more
      involved
      in
     
     
      their
      communities
      to
      connect.
      This
      year,
     
     
      the
      theme
      of
      International
      Volunteer
     
     
      Day,
      as
      decreed
      by
      the
      United

      is

      the
      World.”
      Over
      one
      thousand
     
     
      organizations
      on
      Prince
      Edward
      Island
     
     
      are
      trying
      to
     
     
      accomplishing
      worthy
      goals
      with
      scarce
     
     
      resources.
      Most
      Island
      non-profit
      and
     
     
      charitable
      organizations
      rely
      heavily
      on
     
     
      volunteers
      to
      fundraise,

      and
     
     
      share
      information
      about
      their
      goals.
     
     
      There
      many
      benefits
      of
      volunteering,
     
     
      such
      as
      learning
      new
     
     
      skills,
      meeting
      people,
      and
      supporting
     
     
      a
      worthwhile
      cause.
