U of S building consensus for architecture school with open houses
How feasible is a School of Architecture in Saskatchewan? Find out by attending one of three open house consultations
The University of Saskatchewan is part of a province-wide collective examining the feasibility of starting a School of Architecture in Saskatchewan.
Ryan Walker, a member of the Saskatchewan School of Architecture Initiative along with representatives of various allied academic disciplines and the Saskatchewan Association of Architects, said the first step in the process is to consult with a wide range of stakeholders, from the campus community to members of the architecture, development, construction and design industries, to the general public and other interested parties.
Colin Ripley, of the architectural firm RVTR and a professor in the Department of Architectural Science at Ryerson University, was selected to lead the initiative and consultation process which will kick off with three open houses in early February.
Everyone is invited to attend the following open houses:
