Instructor: Gerry McGeough, MAIBC
After graduating with a bachelor of architecture from McGill University in
1986, Gerry McGeough practiced architecture in Montreal specializing in
the rehabilitation and adaptive re-use of heritage buildings and infill
development in historic contexts. His work involved the rehabilitation of
historic landmarks such as the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Daly Building, Faubourg
Ste. Catherine, and Dominion Building. To be able to better facilitate the
rehabilitation process, he completed a master's degree in real estate
development at Columbia University, New York City, in 1992.
Gerry is the University Architect and Landscape Architect for the
University of British Columbia. Prior to this, he served for 12 years as
the Senior Heritage Planner with the Heritage Conservation Program at the
City of Vancouver. In this position he was able to apply his
interdisciplinary skills to advance a broad range of conservation projects
and to develop new heritage policies and processes. A primary component of
this program is working with the multiple stakeholders to develop
economically viable solutions for preserving heritage buildings. Gerry
helped to lead a $70-million municipal incentive program for the
preservation of heritage buildings in the Downtown East Side of Vancouver.
