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.
