Camille Mitchell (BAS ’06, architectural studies; MArch ’10, architecture) is a highly accomplished architect with the Toronto based award-winning firm, Gensler. Her growing reputation in the field, though, goes beyond her professional expertise and achievements.  

As a Black woman in the traditionally white, male dominated field of architecture, Mitchell has faced challenging perceptions regarding her capabilities as an architect. Her response has always been to prove them wrong through hard work, excellent results — and advocating for change.  

School of Architecture alumni Kathleen Fu's (BAS ’17, MARCH ’20) illustrations are featured on the cover and throughout the latest edition of Waterloo Magazine. Fu's current work is heavily inspired by her time studying architecture, city life and storytelling.

The Advancement and University Relations teams are proud to share the Fall 2022 issue of Waterloo Magazine: The Builders.
