History[edit]

During the initial peak of Carleton University, the school was founded in 1968 as the Carleton University School of Architecture. It was under the leadership of former McGill University School of Architecture Professor Douglas Shadbolt.[1] The school initially had twelve students and four faculty members.[2] As the school started to grow rapidly, it was guided under the leadership of Alberto Perez-Gomez, which brought a significant impact to the school.[2] In 2008 the school changed its name to the Azrieli School of Architecture following a $5.5 million donation from former graduate David Asrieli.[3]
