360 summary
  • The rewilding project aims to gradually remove the surface parking lot and allow nature to take back the space, creating an extension of Cootes Paradise with a pond likely to form over the parking lot.
  • The university plans to reduce demand for parking by building an above-ground parking structure to replace some spots and creating more on-campus housing, while the planned light rail transit (LRT) line that will link McMaster to the rest of the city will also be crucial.
  • The naturalization process at McMaster will be gradual, with the university committed to not developing the west campus any further, and students and faculty may also use the area as a "living and learning lab" as the rewilding process takes shape.
