The Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture, formerly the McGill School of Architecture, is one of eight academic units constituting the Faculty of Engineering at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Founded in 1896 by Sir William Macdonald, it offers accredited professional and post-professional programs ranging from undergraduate to PhD levels.[5]
The School of Architecture is located inside the Macdonald-Harrington Building, designed by Sir Andrew Taylor, on the McGill University downtown campus.[6] The School of Urban Planning, which became independent from the School of Architecture in 1970, occupies the fourth floor.[7] The School of Architecture also operates many auxiliary facilities, including workshops, laser cutting and 3D-printing facilities, research labs and various libraries and collections both within the Macdonald-Harrington Building and elsewhere on McGill's campus. The school is accredited by the Canadian Architectural Certification Board (CACB) and is recognized in the United States by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB).[8]
The Architecture Students' Association represents undergraduate students at the school[9] and the Graduate Architecture Students' Association represents graduate and post-graduate students.[10] All registered students automatically become members of these associations. The school also maintains a chapter of the American Institute of Architecture Students[11] as well as bilateral exchange agreements with several architecture schools in other countries.[12] As of Fall 2019, there were 163 undergraduate, 90 graduate and 20 PhD students enrolled.[3]
On September 26, 2017, the school was renamed the Peter Guo-hua Fu School of Architecture following a C$12 million gift from architect and McGill graduate Peter Fu.[13]
