Lethbridge architecture firm Watson Horton Ferrari Architects were commissioned again in 1990 to examine the next potential phases of campus expansion, producing a report titled the Conceptual Planning Phase IV Report (1990). They were the same firm responsible for the design of the Centre for the Arts and associate architect partnered with Erickson / Massey during the earliest development of the University.
The original Phase IV Report can be viewed here: UofL-Phase IV Report_WHF_1990.pdf

The Phase IV Report specifically developed an early concept for a new entrance scheme and Library facility as well as a developed plan for greatly enhanced pedestrian and automobile access to lower areas of campus - namely the Theatre Complex and University Hall. The proposal also includes an integrated multi-level parking facility in the proposed building expansion.
Phase IV addressed needs to address future enrolment at the University to a student population of 4,200 FLE students. The Campus Master Plan at the time was the Erickson / Massey Development Plan of 1969.
The constraint of budget was not included in the scope of this conceptual exercise.
