The University of Toronto (Scarborough Campus) - UTSC, has been growing steadily over the past decades from 2011 - 2015 alone, campus growth has resulted in nearly 60,000 m2 of new buildings. To minimize the impact on the environment and managing increased stormwater runoff were important considerations that the university wanted to address. As a result, the East Arrival Court (EAC) retrofit, which captures stormwater in the [[Bioretention]] area of the parking lot and in the nearby [[Dry pond]], which provides temporary storage, and greater opportunities for infiltration and evapotranspiration were installed to help to improve the quality and reduce the volume of runoff discharging to the nearby Rouge River.
