Planning

The first registered subdivision for part of the current campus site was drawn up by J.B. Lewis in 1910. Four new streets were specified: Greenwood Drive, Woodland Drive, Beresford Avenue and Beverley Avenue. That initial subdivision was located in the southeast corner of Carleton. It extended from the current parking and administration buildings east to Bronson and south of the river. This subdivision never progressed beyond the drawing stage. No roads were established and no buildings were constructed to follow its configuration.

In 1915, the first comprehensive master plan for the national capital metropolitan area was prepared. Most of this site was designated for residential housing. Street layout was an extension of the previously registered subdivision plans. The bywash from Hartwell's Locks was to be kept as parkland, while the railway right-of-way was to be converted into an arterial road. Other green space was designated near Dow's Lake and on a former island in the southeast corner of the campus.
