P9 Greenspace Design Competition

Reimagine Your Campus. Shape the Student Experience.

Planning, Design and Construction (PDC) within the Facilities Management and Planning (FMP) team invites students to help reimagine an under-utilized area of campus as a vibrant hub for community life. This design competition challenges our campus community to envision a flexible, welcoming, and culturally respectful outdoor space that fosters student well-being, curiosity, and connection.

Participants are encouraged to explore how thoughtful design can enhance the daily experience of the
Carleton community, creating a place to gather, reflect, engage, and celebrate our shared campus
culture.
