Details of the evaluation criteria are included in a presentation made by the Board to COW on October 18, 2010. The link to slides is http://www.hwdsb.on.ca/aboutus/education...

The criteria are:

 Accessibility – transit, highways, arterials, pedestrian, bike, disabled  Amenities – business services, restaurants, meeting facilities, retail  Building Operating Costs – access to district energy, deep water cooling  Capital Costs – site acquisition, infrastructure, building, parking  Economic Impact – “best place to raise a child”, local economic benefits  Environmental Sustainability – CO2 footprint, building re-use, infill or not  Location – public visibility, land mark suitability, community connections  Parking – on-site capacity, off-site availability, daily / monthly parking rates  Proximity – to key user groups, stakeholders, schools, admin staff, students  Site Size, Configuration and Topography – sufficiency for building program, partner facilities, landmark gesture, parking needs, etc.  Site Zoning – suitable to EC use, building size / height  Timing – Acquisition, approval, construction, ARC process (if applicable)

It's interesting to note that the word "Parking" appears FOUR times, including in its own Criteria category. Also, have a look at the "Location" and "Proximity" descriptors.

@Comment24 is correct in pointing out that these criteria are limited. Perhaps even conveniently?
