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
has been Senior Heritage Planner with the Heritage Conservation Program at the
City of Vancouver
for the past 12 years. In this position he is 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. The latest civic initiative
Gerry is helping to lead is a $70-million municipal incentive program for the
preservation of heritage buildings in the Downtown East Side of Vancouver.
