Canadian Architectural Education, Accreditation, and Certification trends in a Changing Environment – Phase 2

This project – Canadian Architectural Education, Accreditation, and Licensing trends in a Changing Environment – partners with the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) to comparatively analyze quantitative and qualitative data concerning challenges and opportunities facing academic and professional sectors in Canada. The intention is to better understand past changes, current states, and future trajectories so that these education and practice sectors can better prepare for new challenges, and collaboratively strategize goals to improve services and the built environment for all Canadians.

Founded in 1976, CACB is a national independent nonprofit corporation that develops, implements, and maintains programs and standards for certification required for the practice of architecture in Canada. CACB receives its mandate from the Regulator Organizations of Architecture in Canada (ROAC, previously, CALA), and the Canadian Council of University Schools of Architecture (CCUSA). In 2017, CACB added research to its mandate. The present Phase 2 research advances this mandate by extending preliminary work completed in a Phase project completed in 2018.
