On September 15th, some of the ASAP Lab members joined UBC’s climate strike, uniting with students, faculty, and staff to challenge the Campus Vision 2050 Land Use Plan. This heartwarming experience reminded us of the positive change that can be achieved through collective effort!
About the Campus Vision 2050
The Campus Vision 2050 Land Use Plan will dictate what gets built on campus for the next 27 years.
Currently, this plan:
- Does not commit to sufficient affordable housing
- Does not commit to providing nearly enough new student beds
- Does not have a sufficient Climate Action Plan
