Macy DuBois

Gazell Macy DuBois M. Arch, P. Eng, PP-FRAIC, PP-RCA, FAIA (hon) (20 December 1929 – 9 November 2007) was an American-Canadian architect who designed several landmark Toronto buildings.

[1][2] Born in Baltimore, Maryland, DuBois earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (cum laude) at Tufts University in 1951, and served in Europe and Asia with the U.S. Navy from 1951–54.

His first major project, begun in 1959,[6] was the combined residence and teaching facility of New College, University of Toronto, with a curved interior courtyard inside a rectilinear facade.

[8][9] Having been told soon after arriving in Toronto that exposed concrete "just won't work because of our climate", DuBois determined to prove otherwise in his second significant project, the Central Technical School Arts Centre.

Earning a Governor General's Award in 1983,[20] the citation credited "Scale with surroundings well conceived; calm of the complex's interior street; considerable value obtained with limited budget.
