Norman Landry

Norman Landry trained as an architect at McGill University (B.Sc.Arch ’95, B.Arch ’96) and has pursued a varied career ranging from the design of high hazard industrial complexes, jointly founding a design build company for high performance healthy homes and currently specializing in building restoration at Engineering Link Incorporated in Toronto. Fascinated by building methodologies both past and present, Normans’ work largely focuses on restoring and upgrading the performance of existing buildings. This includes masonry restoration, window replacement, over-cladding/recladding, and restoration of historic structural systems. Building envelope retrofits for existing buildings offer a valuable opportunity to enhance the functionality of the built environment and reduce energy consumption, contributing to Canada’s 2030 carbon-reduction targets.
