Downtown Windsor – The Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association (DWBIA) believes the establishment of a downtown University of Windsor engineering campus would revitalize the entire city of Windsor and offer enormous benefits to the university, as well.

And they are out to prove it.

“Once every century an opportunity occurs that can change the texture and quality of downtown,” explained DWBIA chair Larry Horwitz. “Let’s stop complaining about downtown Windsor not being the way you want it to be – let’s do something about it. Scores of other cities have transformed their cities by creating university campuses in their downtown hubs.”
The DWBIA has invited Professor Rick Haldenby, Director of the University of the Waterloo School of Architecture, co-director of the Centre for Core Areas Research and Design and respected architect and expert in the study of issues facing core areas in middle-sized cities, as the keynote speaker for Urban Renaissance Through Campus Location: A DWBIA forum exploring the potential impact of a downtown university campus, which takes place at the

Windsor Armouries on Tuesday, November 6, 2007 at 6:00 p.m.
