A request for qualifications to develop a mixed-use village covering three blocks between College Drive and Osler Street will go out early this year, followed by a request for proposals, according to the university’s director of corporate administration.

“We’re just doing our research now and getting information on what we would include in that document and what we would be looking for,” Judy Yungwirth said.

The village will cover eight acres in the northeast corner of the 145-acre College Quarter, which is bordered by College Drive, Preston Avenue, 14th Street East and Cumberland Avenue.

According to the 2010 master plan, the College Quarter could include a hockey arena, residences, commercial and academic spaces, a hotel, plenty of green spaces and the mixed-use village.
