The Vision for the Queen Street property was approved by our Board of
Trustees in December 2000:
 1 - Create
a Hub on the Queen Street Site
The site will be the organizational hub of CAMH, linked to a network
of community-based satellites. It will be designed to facilitate interaction
and collaboration between our client care, research, education and prevention
functions.
 2
- Design the Hub as an Urban Village
The hub will contain streets, sidewalks, flexible buildings and open
spaces that integrate with the neighbourhood. A mix of uses and activities
will create a safe, comfortable and welcoming place, replacing the stigma
associated with the institution with a real community setting for client
care. Related programs, research and educational facilities will be located
at the hub to create a health care, education and research village.
3 - Respect the Landscape
The existing landscape will be maintained and improved to create private
healing sapces for clients, quiet places of respite for staff, public
open spaces that integrate with the community, and attractive public amenities
along the streets and sidewalks.
