Doppelpass - Connecting Winnipeg's Stadium with the Fort Garry Campus

Abstract

This practicum intends to improve the landscape surrounding the Investors Group Field stadium at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It addresses the site’s current challenges, the proposed changes to the neighboring infrastructure, and how these improvements are better-suited to the daily lives of fans, residents, and University of Manitoba students. The design proposal further aims at creating a more welcoming and enjoyable experience for visitors first arriving at the stadium. Moreover, it shows how fans, residents, and University of Manitoba students would benefit from the interrelationship between Investors Group Field, University of Manitoba, and a changing new neighboring infrastructure — a “win-win” situation entitled Doppelpass (“one-two pass”).
