Master Plan and other documents

This page catalogues the most important reports and documents that guide CAMH's Queen Street Redevelopment Project. Scroll down to review information on the Master Plan for site redevelopment, the Guidelines for the Development of non-CAMH Lands and the Site Redevelopment Principles.

Master Plan for the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health

The 2002 Master Plan lays out the fundamental shape and objectives of the redevelopment of the Queen Street site: the urban village concept, improvements to the delivery of client care, the integration of mental health and addictions care and the elimination of the stigma that hangs over this site. The Executive Summary of the 2002 Master Plan is available for review.

Beginning in 2006, CAMH undertook a major review of the 2002 Master Plan, with the objective of identifying a way to deliver the project faster four our clients, with less disruption to CAMH's existing operations while not compromising the original vision and principles that guide the site redevelopment project. The result of this process was the Fine Tuned Master Plan — the Executive Summary is now available for review. From this point forward, the Fine-Tuned Master Plan supplants the 2002 Master Plan. For more information, a presentation on the key elements of the Fine Tuned Master Plan and its development process is available for review.

Transforming Lives Here is a multi-phased project, which aims to fulfill the goal of a revitalized hub for CAMH's operations set within an mixed urban village by approximately 2020. The phases are structured so that CAMH can continue to operate its services at 1001 Queen Street West while construction is occurring on-site. The phasing diagrams for the Fine Tuned Master Plan are available for review.

Non-CAMH Land Use Guidelines

Approximately one-half of the completed urban village is to consist of non-CAMH uses (e.g. residential, retail, commercial, etc...). These new uses will add balance and diversity to the urban village, and will go a long way in creating the genuine community that the redevelopment project seeks to achieve. Throughout the summer and fall of 2006, CAMH embarked on a process to create a set of guidelines to better define what our vision for the non-CAMH lands is, what land use types are appropriate, what goals CAMH wishes to achieve and what conditions CAMH would insist upon. The product of this exercise are the Non-CAMH Land Use Guidelines, which were approved by CAMH's Board of Trustees in January 2007. Also available for review is the summary of the consultation sessions, which documents the input received from CAMH's various stakeholders during the development process that led to the final Land Use Guidelines. The guidelines, and the process through they were developed, are summarized in CAMH's January 2007 redevelopment update e-bulletin. Further information concerning non-CAMH development can be found at New Neighbours in the Urban Village.

Site Redevelopment Vision and Principles

Transforming Lives Here is grounded by the vision set out in 2000 and a set of principles, which have driven both the physical form and clinical focus of the redevelopment project. This 2003 report to the Board of Trustees summarizes the feedback received from consultation sessions CAMH held across the organization and proposes a set of principles to guide CAMH's future work in redeveloping the Queen Street site.
