Create opportunities to educate community and students with each project, by demonstrating technologies, displaying information and creating sites for scientific and environmental research.

Expose and harness the creative capacity of multidisciplinary collaboration in defining, focusing and implementing initiatives of environmental merit, positively impacting Windsor’s environment.

Follow sustainable environmental practices, including:

-Appropriate materials selection

-Full-cost accounting

-Use and implementation of renewable energy wherever possible

Partner with residential, university, and commercial interests.

Form multidisciplinary research teams to re-examine the identity of the Ambassador Bridge and its surrounds as a regenerative “green zone”, and corridor of international significance.

Integrate the downtown Windsor and University communities, transforming the gateway to the city and university, and producing significant positive impact upon international interests.
