Where can the homeless live? This symposium will bring together two grass-roots organizations seeking to improve the housing situation for chronically homeless and unsheltered individuals in the Region of Waterloo. The first, A Better Tent City is a tiny-house community located on the lot of a former convention centre along Highway 7. After an unofficial shelter in a downtown Kitchener convenience store was shut down at the beginning of the pandemic, residents relocated to the lot.

Prefabrication in mass timber buildings is fast becoming a reality and, through digital design and manufacturing processes, it is having a disruptive effect on the building industry. In order to maintain BC’s lead in innovation in wood and to promote value added processes within the province, it is timely for BC to lead a symposium on the state-of-the-art in Wood Prefabricated Buildings. The symposium is meant to bring together architects, engineers and fabricators who are interested in the future of prefabrication in wood.

Future students are invited to join us for a Waterloo Admissions Webinar to ask questions and learn everything you need to know about the application process for the School of Architecture at the University of Waterloo! The focus of this Webinar will be on the second stage of the admissions process dealing with the portfolio, presentation video and the précis test.

Presenters will include Admissions Chair Rick Andrighetti and Undergraduate Coordinator Nicole Guenther.
