With a focus on the health, seniors’ housing and education sectors, some of Oliver’s recent planning and design projects include the $24 million Baker Centre Retirement and Long Term Care Addition and Renovation, Durham College’s $40 million Centre for Collaborative Education, and UOIT’s $39 million New Student and Academic Building. Oliver’s work is founded in a desire to obtain a deep understanding of programmatic and cultural nuances of his projects. Before starting Architecture Counsel, Oliver served as Senior Planner for Educational Consulting Services (ECS) and in private practice as Project Architect for largescale infrastructure projects in across Canada. He has specific expertise in adapting existing and heritage buildings to serve new functions and sat on the Board of The Architectural Conservancy of Ontario and the Society for College and University Planners. Oliver also takes particular interest in aging in place as well as the relationship between social, informal and formal academic spaces and how pedagogy and new technologies can inform the design and planning of university and college buildings.
