Current undergraduate students

A design team led by students from the Architectural Engineering program finished first in the engineering category at the 21st Solar Decathlon Build Challenge sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy.

The contest challenged participants to showcase a blend of architectural and engineering innovation through the design and construction of high-performance, low-carbon buildings powered by renewable energy.

Each year CASA-ACEA put out a call for submissions from architecture students across Canada. Student work is displayed and shared in as part of a Nation Student Work Showcase. Check out our most recent call for submissions.

Several Waterloo Architecture undergraduate projects were recognized at this year's showcase.

Winners:
Nicole Cao: Solar Steps - 3^rd/4^th year
Derek Shin: Infill Village - 1^st/2^nd year

The Downtown Cambridge BIA and University of Waterloo’s School of Architecture have partnered to exhibit student work in a local business.

The exhibition, curated by the collective Architects Against Housing Alienation (AAHA), draws attention to the housing crisis being experienced by many communities across Canada. Not for Sale! describes and denounces the impact of real estate speculation that converts homes into financial assets, aggravating a range of issues including a general lack of affordability, precarious housing, and homelessness.

Dr. Mohamad Araji's project Monitoring Energy Flow of Urban Buildings Using Aerial Multi-Modality Imaging Audits, was recently awarded $217,500 from the New Frontiers in Research fund.

The University Tenure & Promotion Committee has awarded Philip Beesley the designation of University Professor.

The University of Waterloo owes much of its international reputation and stature to the quality of its eminent professors.
