50th Anniversary Celebration of the School of Architecture

On June 15, you're invited to a special evening to launch a year of celebration marking the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the University of Waterloo School of Architecture. Waterloo Architecture was created in 1967, Canada’s Centennial year, in anticipation of continued growth and increased demand for design.

Housing in too many of Canada's remote communities is in deplorable condition. Peter Russell, president of RESTCo seeks to make this fact a mere memory. Join us April 19 for an in-depth discussion of approaches that can be taken to boost the production of low-energy housing through innovations in structure, fabrication, delivery, and associated infrastructure.
