A Vision for Serving the Community
for the Next 100 Years
The historic
College Avenue Campus will continue to support the academic mission
of the University of Regina and the University's Strategic Plan.
The College
Building, the Conservatory and Darke Hall will be fully restored and
adaptively reused as a fundamental part of the University of Regina.
The
Campus will be known as the University of Regina Leadership
and Outreach Centre (LOC).
Integrating academic programming with outreach and training for both
public and private sector professionals, it will serve as a
provincial and national destination.
Realize. We are greater together.
The hub of the LOC will be a
new Executive Education Centre that will equip
the Centre for Continuing Education, Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of
Public Policy and the broader community with state-of-the-art meeting
rooms for groups ranging from 20 to 300.
The Leadership and Outreach Centre will
provide a large scale premier event and reception space in a modern,
striking atrium that respects and enhances the heritage of the site by
linking the Conservatory and Darke Hall. Darke Hall will
again become a well used, bustling event space that maintains
significant public access, functioning as a community facility
- invigorated through partnerships with the broader community.
We will continue to honour the vision of
the primary benefactor Mr. F.N. Darke "to build a temple to the arts,
and a centre for cultural activity for the College and the Community".
