Carleton - Campus Avenue Asphalt Surface Renewal and Intersection Improvements

Carleton University is made up of 45 buildings with 374,000 square meters of built space on 62 hectares of land. Carleton University supports a community of 29,000 students, staff and faculty of which almost 3,000 live on campus eight months of the year.
 
Carleton University conducts a regular master planning process which engages the community to develop a long term development plan for the university facilities. The latest five-year Master Plan was adopted in 2016.   For more general information about the institution, please visit the institution’s home page at www.carleton.ca
 
CU_FMP manages approximately CAD$50 million in construction-related contracts annually.  These contracts range from a few thousand to multi-million dollars depending upon the size of the construction project.  Each project is created either thru internal programming (i.e.: building renewal and capital plan) or generated as a request by a member of the university (I.e.; lab fit-up, etc.).   The total number of projects completed each year is around 200 with 50-75 active (in construction) projects at any given time   For more information about the Facilities Management and Planning, please visit our home page at www.carleton.ca/fmp
