Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies, York, UK - 1973

In 1972, Ron M. Peck, a senior architect from Wolfville, Nova Scotia, was hired as a member of the Restoration Services Division, the first heritage conservation team created by the Federal government of Canada to conserve its national historic sites. He and and I participated to the Course in Conservation Studies at York University in the United Kingdom in 1973.

The Institute of Advanced Architectural Studies is one of the post-graduate Institutes which was established in York by York Academic Trust. In 1961 the Institute was incorporated into the University of York when this was established. It has its origins in a summer school for architectural students, first held in 1949 to which residential courses for qualified architects, surveyors and builders were soon added. In 1966 it moved to its present premises in the King's Manor, a historic building situated in the centre of York and admirably suited for conversion to this new purpose.
