Evaluation of the Co-location of Science Research Centres on University Campuses

Recommendation 1

The ADM, Science and Technology commits to review, by December 2006, the findings for each of the case studies and assess whether actions are necessary to improve their co-location outcomes.

Recommendation 2

In the future, when considering the function of existing co-location arrangements or creating new ones, the ADM, Science and Technology, will use this evaluation as a framework to assess the impact of co-location and to apply the lessons learned from these case studies.

The ADM, Science and Technology, jointly with the ADM, Finance and Corporate, will review the general needs for performance measurement/documentation and communicate the results of this review to Branch managers in order to ensure that these needs are met and that the effectiveness and impact of future co-locations can be assessed.
