This report by TRCA discusses the various Low Impact Development (LID) technologies used in key areas of interest throughout UOIT's campus (located in Oshawa, ON.), to both mitigate the impacts of the development and to green the campus. The processes are transparent to the campus community providing valuable visible lessons for students and faculty. The LID technologies used include [[Bioretention]], linear [[Wetlands]], [[Green roofs]] and [[Rainwater harvesting]], all designed to reduce runoff volumes and pollutant loads to the adjacent ravine.

This report by TRCA highlights the use of the [[ Treatment train tool|Treatment Train Approach]] at Bill Crothers Secondary built back in 2008. The site used to a golf course and was located partially i nthe Rouge Watershed's floodplain. During the planning process for the school several low impact developments were identified to be used on site that included, [[Bioretention]] areas, [[Vegetated swales]], Constructed [[Wetlands]] and [[Rainwater harvesting]]. To learn more about the design process for the school click the button above.
