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.

O’Connor Park is located on Bala Drive in the west end of Mississauga, ON. in the Sawmill Creek subwatershed, that later flows into the Credit River and Lake Ontario. The primary LID installation completed in the park were [[Bioretention]], [[Bioswales]], [[Permeable pavement]], and [[Infiltration trenches]], running along the soccer fields on site that later drains into the pre-existing small natural [[Wetlands]] and nearby pond. The O’Connor Park
Development Project Team received the Brenda Sakauye Environment Award in recognition of the park’s advancement of the City of Mississauga’s Living Green Master Plan, as well as the 2012 Mississauga Urban Design Award of Merit for Community Scale, Living Green, Innovation and Execution.
