To qualify for a site on University land, any proposed building shall meet one or more of the requirements of subsection 1) below and all of the requirements of subsections 2) and 3) below. The word "building", unless the context otherwise requires, includes the facilities to be contained in the building and on the site, and the activities, program and personnel accommodated by the building.

There shall be clear evidence that the building will:

  • provide accommodation for the staff and students of a federated or affiliated college;
  • provide both immediate and continuing long term residence accommodation for students enrolled at the University;

  • contribute significantly to the protection of University property or to the safety or reliability of University owned utilities and underground services;
  • provide accommodation of such other nature and importance that, in the opinion of the University, the building qualifies for consideration.

There shall be clear evidence that the building will not:

  • be offensive to, nor injuriously affect, the present and projected use of University property;
  • impose excessive loads or demands on University facilities including, but not limited to: utilities, underground services, roads, parking lots and the like;
  • injuriously affect property bordering University land;
  • create any condition which, in the opinion of the University, will be incompatible with the present or projected use of University land;
  • require an excessive quantity of land at the time of its construction or in the future;
  • be so small that it will be inappropriate in scale to adjoining or neighboring buildings or create an impediment to future development.

The building shall be consistent with one or more of the general purposes of the Wascana Centre – the development of the seat of Government, or the enlargement of educational opportunities, or the advancement of the cultural arts, or the advancement of recreational facilities – as interpreted by the Wascana Centre Authority.

A building which qualifies for a site on University land shall be located in compliance with the Master Plan. A building complying with the Master Plan shall be designed in accordance with the terms and conditions of a lease between the University and the owner(s) of the building.
