Algonquin College’s Strengths and Capacity to Deliver the Program
Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology was established in 1967 and was named after the First
Nations people who lived in the area. Algonquin was formed from the merger of the Eastern Ontario Institute
of Technology, established in 1957, and the Ontario Vocational Centre, established in 1965.
Dedication to student success is one of Algonquin College's primary guiding principles and is demonstrated in
the quality of its programs, its staff, the continual expansion of its facilities, and by forging of strategic
partnerships. Furthermore, the College strives to ensure students have access to the education and skills
training demanded by the marketplace to launch rewarding careers in their chosen fields.
With the success of thousands of alumni, an annual full-time enrolment of approximately 25,000 students,
45,000 part-time registrations and thousands of full-time and part-time employees, Algonquin makes a
significant economic and social impact locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
Algonquin continues to be committed to being one of the most comprehensive colleges in Ontario, offering a
broad variety of programs, subject matter, delivery modes and program durations. Given that Algonquin is
the only publicly-funded English-language college in Ottawa, Perth and Pembroke, it services the needs of
these areas and their surrounding communities. As a result, Algonquin will continue to expand its offerings,
which include a full range of programs such as academic upgrading, apprenticeship, certificate, diploma,
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)

advanced diploma, graduate certificate and honours degree programs, as well as corporate learning solutions
and international education.
The Heritage Institute at the Algonquin College Perth Campus has a well-established reputation for its 30+
years of work in built heritage conservation and teaching sustainable building practices. The campus teaches
skills in heritage carpentry, heritage joinery, heritage masonry, timber framing and log building and, through
its network, maintains connections with talented professionals in architectural glass, and traditional craft
such as canoe building, leatherwork and tanning, and stone carving.
Combining theory and practice with a social conscience, the Heritage Institute is a destination for Canadians
who want to preserve our built history. Students in programs at the Heritage Institute work on Canada’s
highest profile projects (e.g. Parliament Hill) through to the homes, churches, and industrial structures that
are present in our local communities. Students with the skills learned at the Heritage Institute are in high-
demand, often sought after and hired in the sector before they graduate.
Algonquin College’s Truth, Reconciliation and Indigenization department is responsible for the inclusion and celebration of Indigenous Knowledge, culture and presence of Indigenous identity at Algonquin College. Much of our heritage ties to Indigenous people and the work at the Heritage Institute, especially through this degree, aims to assist in Truth and Reconciliation by welcoming inclusion, celebrating Indigenous Knowledge, culture and identity, while honouring heritage craft. Algonquin College is also proud to house the Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence’s Construction Research Centre at the Ottawa Campus. In Ottawa, the college delivers an existing Bachelor of Science (Building Science) (Honours) degree that provides graduates the skills and knowledge necessary to analyze, problem solve and optimize the performance of buildings by bridging all facets of building design, construction, human comfort and sustainability. Now, with the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours), students will have options to collectively tackle the full suite of challenges presented by today’s built environment and new construction. Together, graduates from these degrees will help the industry’s shift to low-carbon construction, supporting the circular economy by increasing building reuse, renewal and revitalization.

2. Degree Level Standards
This section provides a summary of the program features and resources that ensure the proposed Bachelor
of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours) program meets the Board's standard for a
Baccalaureate/Bachelor Honours degree. Although the six categories are treated independently for the
purpose of this discussion, the proposed degree level program integrates the elements of the standard in a
holistic fashion, and creates opportunities for students to demonstrate more than one of the categories in
any given performance. This alignment between the Board's standard and the proposed degree level
program learning outcomes, and between the proposed degree level learning outcomes and the courses that
make up the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours) program was
monitored throughout the development of the program.
The outcomes of the Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours) degree program are
designed to deliver broadly-educated graduates who possess the general and specialized knowledge,
interdisciplinary perspectives, competencies, skills and values required by industry. In addition, graduates will
be well prepared to manage, deal with and adapt to the challenges of today’s diverse and ever-changing
professional work environments, within both domestic and global contexts.
For this summary, key points are highlighted for each of the six categories of knowledge and skills that form
the Board's standard for a Baccalaureate/Bachelor Honours degree.
Standard 1: Depth and Breadth of Knowledge
The proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours) program is designed to provide
students with the necessary knowledge and skills using a scaffolding approach to learning.
The first year of study introduces principles that continue to be developed throughout the program. The first
two years of the program provide the students with a strong practical foundation in carpentry and joinery, an
appreciation for the materials and skills used in the industry, and an introduction to the philosophy and
practice of building conservation. Course work spanning the first two years provide students with the skills
and awareness to be successful in the practical and technical areas of the industry. Skills fundamental to
student success, such as problem solving, understanding technical specifications, critical thinking, the
importance of inter-professional relationships are developed and refined.
Each semester and year reinforces and strengthens central concepts, methodologies, and theoretical
approaches, gradually shifting students from the development of practical, hands-on skills to a business,
management cultural, and economic focus of building conservation. Extensive hands-on activities in
designing, planning and executing projects reinforce learning.
The third and fourth years provide students with more in-depth knowledge and technical skills and leadership
in business and project management, conservation theory and practice, and ethics, legal, and professional
practice. The focus of the program shifts more to the application of theory and knowledge in a building
conservation context.
The applied nature of the program maintains a focus on the development, planning, execution and
evaluation of projects in real world settings. Students participate in their first of three co-op work terms
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
9
following the second year of study. This placement will provide students with introductory experience
working in the field.
Students participate in their second co-op work term following completion of level 5 of their studies, and
their third co-op work term at the completion of level 6. These work terms provide students with the
opportunity to work with an organization to enhance trades-skills, conduct research, conduct assessments,
and develop plans to support and defend building conservation decisions in support of client goals.
During the fourth year of the program, students develop and apply their knowledge and skills in the design,
planning and execution of a Built Heritage Project and a Capstone Research Seminar. The subject of these
projects can be selected by the student or alternatively they can be conducted in partnership with an
industry partner as the client.
In addition to the core courses, students devote more than twenty percent (20%) of their studies to content
outside of the discipline to align with the Program Content Standard. Breadth content is delivered through a
combination of mandated and elective non-core courses. This interaction with other fields of study provides
students with a breadth of learning in disciplines through which they continue to exercise critical thinking and
analytical skills. Moreover, they develop an appreciation and aptitude for a diversity of research
methodologies that enables them to examine a greater array of hypotheses and assumptions beyond the
specific discipline of building conservation.
Standard 2: Conceptual and Methodological Awareness/Research and Scholarship In the first two years of the program, students begin their engagement with the building blocks of building conservation. These years provide opportunities to develop and refine fundamental carpentry, joinery, and problem-solving skills required for success as a carpenter and/or joiner. Throughout the degree, students are introduced to philosophical constructs of building conservation, business fundamentals, the economics of conservation, and legislative and ethical requirements. Principles of mathematics, using and producing technical drawings and an introduction to the fundamentals of heritage conservation are introduced. The courses in the first two years of study lay the conceptual and practical foundation students require to build a thorough understanding of the construction industry. The second year of the program requires students to apply learned skills and techniques to the building and construction of projects to exacting specifications and plans. At this level, students solve problems as knowledge, skills and techniques are applied to practical applications within the building conservation industry. Through varying methods of enquiry, practice and application of skills, students complete projects to achieve desired outcomes. Additionally, core conceptual and methodological awareness are reinforced through the non-core curriculum, including upper-level electives that require students to further apply and develop their enquiry skills and advance scholarly approaches. The coursework in the final year of the program complements the final project and introduces several advanced topics including writing reports and grant proposals and the application of project management and leadership techniques. The students’ abilities evolve as they are exposed to real world challenges in the research, development, and execution of a built heritage project and a capstone research seminar. The learning environment in which the students collaborate with faculty encourages not only the development of logical and sustained arguments, but also the appropriate interpretations and use of
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
10
research. As they progress through the program, students develop a greater level of autonomy, and it is the combination of commentary on, and use of, scholarship in the discipline and demonstrated academic integrity in the documentation of their research that provides evidence of their intellectual growth during their studies. Standard 3: Communication Skills Within the context of building conservation, communication skills are an essential foundation for success. To this end, three of the program learning outcomes (PLOs 2, 6, and 9) include specific reference to communication skills, and these skills also support more broadly other PLOs. To prepare students not only for the work experiences that are part of the program, but also for employment upon graduation, the development of written and oral communication skills is threaded throughout the program with increasing levels of difficulty, complexity and exposure to discipline-specific techniques. In the first two years of the program, students begin an examination of fundamental communication and logical and critical thinking skills that apply across a wide range of disciplines and ensure the ability to make meaningful connections with non-specialist audiences on topics of increasing complexity. Concepts and methodologies of technical communication are woven throughout the curriculum, providing students with various opportunities to develop their communication skills to both specialists and lay audiences. Many courses such as Introduction to Heritage Conservation, Communications and Academic Writing, Contextualizing Heritage, Logic and Critical Thinking, Introduction to Research, Ethics and Professional Practice, Inventory and Evaluation Methodologies, Heritage and Site Management, Heritage Conservation Plans, Built Heritage Project, Capstone Research Seminar, and Technical Writing for Reports and Grant Proposals, help students appreciate writing for a diverse set of stakeholders. They also allow students to further develop techniques for communicating with specialists while providing some familiarity with the issues that could arise during co-op work terms and applied research project experiences. The need for effective communication of structured and coherent arguments is built into many of the courses through the resources and assignments. Whether in the form of presentations, technical reports, or seminars, students are expected to present and document their research findings in a manner that is consistent with the professional requirements of the discipline. Standard 4: Application of Knowledge The proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours) integrates theoretical knowledge with practical applications throughout the program. Courses have been designed to keep established techniques in close contact with the related theories and concepts. From the interpretation and application of the building code in the Level 1 course Carpentry: Foundations, Floors, Walls and Basic Roofs to the Capstone Research Seminar in Level 8, students are challenged to apply their skills and knowledge to identify problems and issues, to research and propose solutions and alternatives, and to defend decisions. Whether they are on a construction site, in a corporate office, or in a client’s home, students are required to apply their knowledge, skills and experience to resolve an issue. Courses such as Logic and Critical Thinking, Introduction to Research, Ethics and Professional Practice, Heritage Planning: An Introduction to Law, Policy and Process, and Technical Writing for Reports and Grant Proposals will provide opportunities to use integrated data gathering tools for generating primary source data for both quantitative and qualitative evaluation. Access to this information contributes to the
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
11
development of analytical skills that can be combined with related scholarly work and modeling and simulation techniques to identify and analyze problems as well as propose and execute solutions. The students learn the application of theoretical concepts and knowledge through in-class projects and assignments. Students begin with common tools that are used by industry to create, plan and execute projects. Technology plays an important role in the program as a tool for the collection, management and presentation of data. Students begin with common technological tools used across many disciplines and continue to develop their expertise. Students begin to develop foundational theoretical knowledge in courses such as: Introduction to Heritage Conservation; Heritage Conservation in Practice: Past, Present and Future; Contextualizing Heritage; History and Philosophy of Canadian Architecture; and, Inventory and Evaluation Methodologies. Courses such as Existing Buildings: Re-use, Repair and Maintenance, Business Fundamentals for Heritage Professionals, Inventory and Evaluation Methodologies, Project Management, Scheduling and Estimating, and Heritage and Site Management are key examples of points in the program where students demonstrate their application of knowledge from the recognition and use of underlying principles through the framing of questions and proposing solutions. These courses, and others like them, ensure that students meet or exceed the expectations of the Built Heritage Project 1 and 2 and Capstone Research Seminar for this proposed degree program. Moreover, the program prepares students for progressive levels of responsibility in their co-op work terms. Through the lens of real-world experience, the application of concepts and principles from within and outside the discipline is understood as a necessary component of success in the workplace. Over the course of the program, co-op work experience merges with more advanced theories and concepts to prepare students for increased responsibility, as determined by their more developed ability to make sound judgments, analyze problems, propose solutions and solve problems. The co-op work terms across the calendar year expose students to the real-life work environment and help to develop professional communication skills, technical problem-solving abilities and project management skills. Standard 5: Professional Capacity/Autonomy As a discipline driven by professional reputation and relying heavily on the autonomy and integrity of its
practitioners, this category of the Board's standard has been deeply integrated into the program of study and
reflected in the program learning outcomes.
While certain courses within the program play a much stronger role in the demonstration of the program
learning outcomes, these outcomes are threaded throughout the program and are integral to the three co-op
work terms and culminating project courses in the final year. As such, group work is an important part of the
program from the very beginning and problem-based learning is used as an instructional methodology
throughout the four years of the program. Both of these approaches support the qualities and transferable
skills that will position graduates for fulfilling contributions in and beyond their employment.
A key learning outcome to develop strategies for lifelong learning, not only to adapt to changes in the field,
but also to changes in culture, is mapped extensively throughout the program.
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
12
Finally, non-core courses for the program have been included to support and encourage a broader
intellectual engagement with the local and global community. Students develop a sense of personal
responsibility and accountability within an inclusive civic discourse that is the hallmark of a degree level
education.
Standard 6: Awareness of Limits of Knowledge From the beginning of the program, students face uncertainty, ambiguity, and limits of knowledge due to the
constantly evolving nature of the field. To deal with change effectively and professionally, students develop a
firm awareness of their roles within an integrated team. The program of study considers the continuous pace
of change in the conservation industry and its impact on the choice of solutions and techniques in building
conservation.
Courses introduce students to core principles, industry standards and theoretical perspectives. Though
widely used, there are varying degrees of certainty surrounding the use and application of each. Uncertainty
is then connected to real life applications as a means of assessing, updating and ultimately adapting
approaches to solving problems. Working in a technical profession creates additional levels of ambiguity and
unpredictability. Students must be aware of and capable of creating strategies for addressing these potential
variables.
Using a stronger, adapted model for practical exercises, students move into more complex topics and
systems as they progress through the program. With supervision, students learn to gauge the effect of
experimental variables and design constraints on the results that they attain. This, in turn, requires students
to consider the stability of their interpretation and their analytical approach. Through an iterative and
increasingly complex fashion, the program presents the students with learning opportunities that reinforce
the necessary realization for appreciating the limits of knowledge: that each problem must be faced as a
unique or novel challenge because errors emerge from the differences between problems, not the
similarities.

3.4 Promotion and Graduation Requirements
Policies governing academic remediation, sanctions and suspension for students who do not meet minimum
achievement requirements are detailed broadly in Policy AA39: Program Progression and Graduation
Requirements. Individual course outlines specify course and/or program specific promotion requirements as
well as requirements for supplemental exams where available. Policy AA14 provides details on the College’s
Grading System that are easily understandable, meaningful and convertible to other postsecondary
institutions and employers through the use of designated percent, letter and numeric grade equivalents. The
Grading System also allows for a Grade Point Average (GPA) calculation here described:
The grade point average is a weighted average. It is calculated as follows:
Each course is designated as having normative total instructional hours that is the designated number of
hours within which the course learning requirements may be achieved, regardless of variations in delivery.
The number of grade points per course is determined by multiplying the normative total instructional hours
of the course by the numeric value of the grade earned in that course. The resulting number is called the
grade point total. The grade point total is divided by the total number of normative instructional hours for
courses with grades having numeric value. For the purpose of this calculation, a grade of "F" has a value of
"0”. The resulting quotient is the grade point average.
Grade Point Total = Grade Point Average (G.P.A.)
Total Normative Hours
Policy AA26: Course Outlines and Course Section Information, includes provisions to ensure that regardless
of the grading scheme, grades for acceptable performance correspond to student work that demonstrates
the degree level standard has been achieved through alignment with degree level program outcomes and
course learning requirements. Furthermore, the evaluation methods or instruments are linked directly to
the course learning requirements being addressed in the course.
The proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours) program promotion and
graduation requirements have been aligned to meet the benchmark requirements depicted in the following
table:
Program Requirement Level of Achievement for
Promotion

4. Program Content
4.1 Summary
This section, with its subsequent sub-sections of supporting material, demonstrates the rigour, breadth and
depth that have been built into the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours)
to ensure that the program is consistent with the degree-level standard. The supporting materials speak to all
eleven (11) of the Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board’s (PEQAB) benchmarks for program
content.
Throughout the development of the program, the degree-level standards and the PEQAB benchmarks have
been a constant reference point. The decision to undertake the development of the proposed Bachelor of
Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours) was based on employer demand for graduates in this
discipline, which naturally aligns between this field of practice and the degree-level standards. Building
conservation, as a discipline, is based on a balance of theory and practice combined with a strong business
appreciation throughout. The development has also adopted a layered approach where each consecutive
year of study adds complexity and sophistication to the knowledge and skills from the previous year(s). The
innovative integration of carpentry and joinery skills and knowledge, with fundamental business and project
management knowledge, and a progressive investigation of approaches and philosophies related to heritage
conservation, combine to provide students with a thorough comprehension of the field of study.
The thirteen (13) program learning outcomes reflect core carpentry and joinery skills, communication and
research skills, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, business skills, architectural and cultural analysis
and appreciation, project management, risk management, plus the unique mix of skills, knowledge and
attitude required for a successful career in the building conservation field. Industry professionals create and
manage a wide range of projects.
Building conservation projects range from small, single-client projects (a private home) to large projects
involving several levels of government and any number of interested stakeholders. Increasingly, these
projects are subject to public scrutiny and review and are held to stringent budgetary and technical
requirements.
The program content reflects the diverse building conservation industry expectations. Building conservation
professionals hold key positions in all levels of government (local, provincial, federal), in non-profit
organizations, in commercial, residential, or institutional development corporations, and in large or small
businesses.
The structure of the program pf study and the courses within have been designed for the achievement and
demonstration of the learning outcomes that describe the knowledge and skills of graduates. The proposed
program strikes a reasonable balance for the time spent on content that is appropriate to the stated learning
outcomes. No single knowledge area within the discipline takes precedence over another. As students move
through the co-op work experience and program of study, there is increased emphasis placed on using a
variety of knowledge and skills to solve current and emerging problems in the discipline. To further prepare
students for their co-op work experiences and future employment, a wide range of assessments have been
built into the courses that are a part of the proposed program of study. These assessments are aligned with
the outcomes for each course (See Section 3.3.2 Course Outlines) to ensure that there is ample
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
164
demonstration of stated outcomes and that students have consistent, regular, and meaningful feedback on
their achievement levels.
The co-op work experiences provide students with the opportunity to receive the most information about
their achievement levels and their direction for future studies within and beyond the program. The three
fourteen-week co-op work experiences (See section 3.6 Work Experience) allow students to connect their
expanding knowledge and skills to the workplace across the calendar year. The articulated outcomes for the
co-op work experiences speak to a progression in responsibility and performance as students move towards
graduation. At the same time, the assessment methods that are in place call upon the knowledge from both
the core courses and the substantive and current content presented in the non-core curriculum.
The breadth requirement for the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours)
program not only adheres to the Board’s benchmarks for the balance of core and non-core studies, but it also
does so to the benefit of the graduates and the broader community of which the graduates will be a part.
While the program hours are close to the Board’s maximum of 80% for core courses, this has been made
possible through the development of detailed, focused non-core courses that, in addition to providing
elective choices, demonstrate a serious commitment to the transferable skills found in a variety of modes of
analysis outside the core field of study. Students have access to breadth and depth of their non-core studies.
The time allotments for mandatory non-core courses ensure that students develop more than an
introductory knowledge in a range of disciplines. Beginning in the first year, communication skills and critical
thinking are addressed in discrete courses, and the relevant knowledge and skills are encouraged throughout
the program. Using these skills, students have the opportunity, through mandatory and elective non-core
courses, to examine society and culture in a way that will appreciate and support civic engagement. Content
related to Ontario and Canada will play a substantial role in this examination, but the realities of a global
marketplace are a part of the current knowledge in the breadth studies.
With the guidance of the Ad Hoc Program Advisory Committee, there is additional assurance that the
appropriate levels of Ontario and Canadian content are in place throughout the entire program, non-core and
core. These experts in the field, including employers and industry representatives, have unanimously
endorsed the program.
The remainder of this section contains the supporting materials that provide the direct evidence of the ways
in which the program content for the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation)
(Honours) meets PEQAB’s requirements.

4.2.1 Course Schedule 1 *excluded for web version-confidential/proprietary material
In order to deliver on the vision for this program, the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours) incorporates nine
courses from the Heritage Carpentry and Joinery Ontario College Diploma program. Through these courses, students gain the technical
carpentry and joinery skills for the preservation, renovation, and restoration of existing buildings, including historical architecture. The inclusion
of these courses also provides a strong pathway for graduates of the Heritage Carpentry and Joinery Ontario College Diploma program, and
other related trades programs to pursue degree-level study (see Section 3.2 Advanced Standing Policies and Requirements). The integration of
these courses also enables strategic and more sustainable resource use at the Perth campus. The courses are intentionally integrated
throughout the four years of study, rather than designed as 2+2 model, to support the students in making connections across the technical and
theoretical components of this field. However, the integration of carpentry, joinery, timberframing and log building courses in the degree, for
which the credential of choice for those is a Red Seal Certificate of Qualification, needs to be taken into account in regard to the PEQAB
benchmark on Faculty Qualifications for Undergraduate Programs (Standard 5, Benchmarks 2 and 3).

Heritage Conservation Plans
Cultural resource management is based
on thoughtful and continuous planning
and stewardship. A Conservation Plan is
an essential planning and management
tool for the long-term conservation of
cultural resources. The conservation plan
includes condition assessment, research
methods, documentation, and project
management to retain a cultural
resource’s significance. The plan also
includes guidance for long-term viability,
ongoing maintenance and repairs, and
compliance with building codes, including
accessibility. Students analyze
conservation planning methodologies,
statements on tangible and intangible
heritage values along with contextual
research and their own visual
observations. Through in-class
discussions, an analysis of case studies,
research, interviews, and site visits,
students will develop and present their

1. Document overview/Introduction
Chris provided an overview of some documents that are informing the development of this program and noted that Hanover is conducting a labour market analysis
o National Trust for Canada. (2020, November 5). Making Reuse the New Normal – Accelerating the Reuse and Retrofit of Canada’s Built Environment. https://regenerationworks.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/E_Making-Reuse-the-New-Normal-Report-FINALV2.pdf (focus on p. 53 re: shortage of skilled professionals)
o Cultural Human Resources Council. (2004). Human Resources in Canada’s Built Heritage Sector: Mapping the Work Force and Setting Strategic Priorities. https://www.historicplaces.ca/media/5689/built_heritage_en.pdf (see pg. 19 and also see p. 72-118 for related Occupational Profiles in the Heritage sector)
Chris noted the environmental scan that was provided in advance of the meeting
Chris provided an overview of consultation that has been done since the last PAC meeting
2. Title
Brian: likes Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc); only concern is abbreviation, but good idea
Robert – I like the Applied Science lens for the title
John S.– like the title, instead of “building” suggests “built” o Robert – Built Resource Conservation
Chris U.– supports inclusion of “applied”
Stephen R.–likes built heritage- finds usually clarifying for people that often talking about built heritage resources, it would be nice for title to be clear that dealing with built heritage resources; talking about heritage resource rather than natural resource
Roger – BASc Built Heritage Conservation; applied science is important
Marc D.– would like revitalization to be included; general public doesn’t know what conservation means
o Chris noted that this will be clear in the program description and marketing materials
Brian - noted that the immediate landscape feeds into the built
Chris H. – likes synchronicity of building with building science degree
James – may be more succinct BAS (Built Heritage); noted that OCAD didn’t put applied in degree name and it has caused issues, so applauds the approach to this title
Narrowed to: o Bachelor of Applied Science (Building and Resource Conservation) o Bachelor of Applied Science (Built and Resource Conservation) o Bachelor of Applied Science (Built and Resource Revitalization) o Bachelor of Applied Science (Built Resource Conservation) o Bachelor of Applied Science (Built Resource Revitalization)
Chris will do survey and focus group with students
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
214
It was noted that conservation is a well defined term and there are standards o Marc D. noted concern that two organizations wouldn’t approve of conservation o Roger – regarding the “and” Parks is protecting spaces and places hence their
preoccupation; Conservation IS the 3 axes of preservation restoration and rehabilitation - revitalization equates to rehabilitation alone
Chris H. discussed current collaborative projects with Carleton University and discussion with Academic PAC member regarding structure and recognition of degree proposal
Brian H. noted there would be benefits to both institutions with collaboration
3. Feedback on the proposal
Program Description o Marcus noted the challenge of balancing the feedback for academic and trades components,
trying to make evident the transferable skills that could be across different employment opportunities. For the academic requirement, there were certain courses that needed to include to ensure that it is a bachelors level program
o No feedback on the program description o Julian – hasn’t seen idea of aesthetics in the program – understanding and appreciation – may
help graduates expand employment opportunities Brian – crops up in standards and guidelines
o Chris U – emphasize environmental benefits and sustainability in success factors. Built heritage is key to solving climate issues
o Marc – working on business-like manner on a budget – important for success of graduates o John C– understanding of materials you’re working with; teach why techniques; teaching
construction methodology, materials o John S – cultural diversity as a separate bullet; comes up more often o Brian – detailing of a building, materials science and stewardship for maintenance
Program learning outcomes: Brian – feels ok; agreed
Program of Study: o Brian – would it be possible to unplug carpentry and plug in masonry?
Jess provided an overview of pathways o Brian – not clear where material choices and material finishes would occur – traditional
finishes; Darren identified where would be taught o Marc D –would like to see working as a business on time and on a budget o Amandah – marrying of old and new, with examples of bathrooms – is there a building codes?
Darren – yes, there are two courses o Roger – confirm 3 co-op work terms; would all three be paid? Have had challenges bringing in
internships because Treasury Board guidelines require paid coops o David H – love structure of 3 across seasons, need to have demonstration of opportunities; do
other programs have co-op? noted Durham has 2 field placements o John C – noted that building codes didn’t exist at the time many of these buildings were
created and there is a need to develop professionals who understand the nuances and relationships of heritage building and who can influence the creation of new policies and standards
o John S – accessibility – noted that it was incorporated o Judy – noted that a lot of the comments/concepts are in but may not be overt enough and
could be clarified Roger – aesthetics
PAC is supportive of the program as presented; no major concerns noted

Ad Hoc Bachelor of Science (Built Heritage) (Honours) Degree Meeting, December 9, 2020 (4:00 pm to 5:00 pm) Attendees: James Forrester, Jessie Grebenc, David Scarlett, Chris Wiebe, Marc Denhez, John Cooke, Sydney Martin, John Stewart, Robert Pajot, Roger Baird, Carl Bray, Malcolm Wildeboer, Sean Fraser, Thomas Wicks, Jeff Meek, Victoria A. Algonquin College: Chris Hahn (Dean), Shaun Barr (Chair, Perth Campus), David Hall (Co-op), Jessica DeVries (Academic Development Chair), Cristina Holguin-Pando (Director, Applied Research), Pablo Medina-Villanueva (Construction Research Centre), Lynn Cummings (Curriculum Consultant), Darren Taubman (Faculty, Program Developer), Jack Hollinger (Faculty, Program Developer), Marcus Letourneau (SME, Program Developer), Judy Oberlander (SME, Program Developer) Overview of discussion
Chris Hahn welcomed everyone to the meeting and provided an overview of the documents sent ahead of the meeting to all attendees: Program Overview (Program Description, PLOs, POS, and Course Descriptions) and Case for Program overview.
Brief discussion on the program title: o Some wondering if the word “Applied” should be included in the title; Jessica D. shared that
all of the degrees at the College are considered “applied” and that there should be consideration for recognition of this degree by university Master’s programs for admissions as well as industry
o Some asking if “heritage” term might be limiting as it currently stands- i.e. consider widening to “existing buildings” or something similar; other members concerned about losing the focus on the specialized craft
David H. suggested defining discrete skills and career progression in industry at time of co-op like the Cybersecurity program; would like to know “what employers call these people in the workplace”; PEQAB requires a minimum 420 hours of co-op; could also look for WIL projects
David S. suggested looking into adding “asset manager for heritage site” as job possibility (look into whether restrictions to work by certain professions, i.e. engineering)
Roger B. suggested incorporating “risk assessment” for sites (risks to visitors and to site itself)
Victoria A. asked whether this program is unique by giving everyone the same experience throughout instead of bringing own background to program; goal is to have pathways from different areas but also provide direct entry from H.S.
John C. suggested this is an ideal source for conservators (mentioned Craig Sims, heritage building consultant)
Some suggested that “conditions assessment” happen earlier in the program, since this is typically the first step of any heritage project
Victoria A. suggested this may not be a program that a prospective conservator would be interested in taking
John Cooke shared story of needing 12 windows for a project that ended up being completed by AC HC students- very high quality, filled a need in industry
Pablo and Cristina (through chat) suggested the value of deep learning through applied projects
Chris H. suggested students will be able to work on construction site, heritage site, use research skills, etc. but that the program can’t be everything to everyone
Marc D. suggested need to work against industry perception that those who work on heritage do not know how to do it on a budget, so program should develop and highlight skills such as “budget”, “costing”, working on contracts, avoiding cost overruns, etc.
David S. suggested terms like “adaptive reuse” only a small part of Standards and Guidelines but might be good to include; “sustainability” already part of day to day but could be highlighted; leads to
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
217
discussion of short-term and long-term costing /”lifecycle costing” for management of buildings decisions
Robert P. suggested replacing word “heritage” to incorporate more variety in terminology such as “rebuild” using sound conservation principles; traditional conservation; “intervention” (covers adaptive reuse preservation)
Sean F. suggested “building pathology” –separate of heritage diagnostics of existing asset, more neutral
Chris H. thanked all for attendance, discussion, feedback and support and asked that additional feedback is welcome; requested feedback prior to December 17th

Dave P.
“as builts” need to be included ; often drawings are not right, changes are made over time, change orders -add to PLO #4?
also in #7 – heritage is often exempt and non-conforming and say so – add “where applicable”
talk about epoxys in depth – identify finishes – needs to be covered more
include aspects of engineers, architects etc –grads need to be able to speak to other professionals who don’t “speak the same language” (also recommended as key by Judy)
include asbestos abatement certification course- Dave has taught this course in past
Krista M
masonry veneers, carbon and glass fibre re-enforcement
need to decide how much Building Science and Building Envelope are you including so you do not destroy the building –consider whether aspects of building science should be included in the PLOs (depending on the amount of focus)
will we include philosophy approaches as opposed to just standards and guidelines –philosophy and comparison of different approaches
Marcus L
important to understand how to do an interview as part of qualitative research to collect information from those who have lived experience with historical buildings to understand its history; experienced tradespeople best-practices
demonstrate through the program that a grad coming out of this program will do just as good a job as any other program – we have the practical/theoretical – just like an engineer – they can easily do a Master’s in England – they will want to

see the traditional academic skills somehow. -include cultural heritage, landscapes, CHLs, Historic urban centers, planning and conservation
Include international, national, regional, local –compare across (also noted by Judy)
John S
better define preservation and conservation as it is included all the way along –standardize language throughout
#6 say provincial and national before Ontario and national
also add best practices – the bible is the Standards and Guidelines – being able to identify a style of heritage – and understand the evaluation of a structure – the contextual is key as well. How this building fits in with the environment and the larger community.
Contextual is key—need to evaluate how the building fits into its environment and larger picture in community
Need to include architectural history- survey style, evaluation Judy O
adding in item 4 – documentation could go in the first learning outcome – it is an ongoing before, during and after
definitions are very important for those in the field take them and place in an appendix and explain they are from the standards and guidelines; can we say current standards and guidelines (no – just keep it non-specific)
communication skills – giving presentations – working with different professionals and professional skills – running a meeting
Need to define “intr to heritage” – this is so big
All delivered in situ? Highly recommend online….so we are not limited to face to face. This way students/experts can pull in information from where they are.
Perth is a living lab.
Given current world events, consider “who’s heritage” Hazardous materials and asbestos and lead paint etc including in various courses depending on context. Can we add a certification for asbestos awareness, lead abatement – teach the full load, working at heights (Safety Guys?), lead abatement (Ministry of Health? Safety Tech? InAir?) Roger B
Include a Material and Technology course could identify paint research, finishes, adhesives, architectural paint research, establish chronology of paint with identification and hazardous - everyone gets a set of blocks…;brick, clay-fired brick, masonry
Eric M
add certifications in micro-credentials where possible (also noted by Matt W. that certifications are a benefit for co-op)
o lead, asbestos abatement

o working at heights o other?
opportunity to collaborate on development of Building Envelope 1 and 2 with profs in Bachelor of Building Science (post meeting - Jack suggested potential resource people –Laura Elliot currently taking Bachelor of Building Science degree; Brigit O’Flaherty currently doing related thesis)
Brian H
need to show value of this specific degree – demonstrate why hire someone from this degree over another
include the problem of identifying materials; what kind of trees am I looking at in terms of landscape; paints, fabrics, synthetics, hazards and context of specific hazards (i.e. vermiculite) can be included; we need more knowledge embedded about things. Jack noted that ICCROM resources can be used – also consult with Darren McLean
the focus should be on technical writing – proposal writing is a sub-set of tasks.
include descriptive dendrology
4. Open Discussion / Additional comments a. Industry Survey
Minimum of 3 co-op terms (can be more – can be back to back – can be sandwiched )- we like them in every semester so students are always available – paid – semester is 450 hours – what we require is letters of support from industry – co-op would have representation at PAC committee meetings – what kind of work do they do, who are the competition, what associations do we join, rely on industry experts, need to have a great working relationship with faculty so that we can relate students to industry. Ideal state is 2:1 ratio of jobs to students COVID is resulting in only 48% of jobs compared to non-COVID. Curriculum is adjusted based on employer feedback. Placements can be international. Co-op is a course – we do not burden the student with work – they do assignments, not too heavy, Students pay for the course – certifications are really important – minim GPA requirement SIP funding to support onboarding is now zero Survey through professional association – what to be included; seeking experts for courses;

Agenda Items: 1. Call to order - 4:15 pm 2. Review and Approval of Agenda – Chris Hahn made motion to approve with second by Darren Taubman 3. Conflicts of interest declarations - none 4. Program-related new business: a. Decision: Addition of Co-op Education Chris Hahn advised the committee that the Co-op would be a 12-14 week curriculum and would fall between Level 2 and 3. It was decided that the Co-op would be optional and not mandatory as mandatory could create obstacles that could potential prevent a student from graduating. The committee agreed that optional would be a better choice for the first offering. Chris advised that the Algonquin Co-op department will conduct a labor market analysis as well as provide support. The only criteria to participate in the Co-op is to have a GPA of 3.0. The students are required to search out their Co-op location however, the College does provide some
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
222
support. Rachel Perkins asked if the Co-op was a paid Co-op and Chris advised that yes it was but there is the potential of funding opportunities for the companies, this would be something the Co-op department would assist with. Judy Oberlander suggested that the College marketing team communicate/market the new Co-op opportunity. Chris advised the committee that if they are in agreement the next steps are to take it to the College Executive team and then the Board of Governors. Chris asked the committee whether there were any objections to introducing Co-op within the program; committee members had no objection. Motion was made to add Co-op Education to the Heritage Carpentry and Joinery program, Paul Denys moved to approve, second by John McIntyre, all in favor. The committee gave the following suggestions of organizations/venues to reach out to and inquire if any interest in Co-op opportunities:
1. City of Ottawa 2. Projects similar to the Merny Tower project 3. Unions 4. CCI – Small community projects 5. Alumni 6. Publications: CHP newsletter, Ottawa Construction, Greater Ottawa Home Builders
b. Enrolment / Retention Report The enrolment target for 20F is 66 students. Chris advised that the numbers for 19F was 44 and 18F was 54. The program has a current retention rate of 88-90%. The program currently has very few International students, Chris would like to increase this number. c. Marketing tactics to increase enrolment The committee was asked for their suggestions on marketing tactics.
1. Create a brochure for prospects that is a “How To”, such as applying, moving, choosing program. Also include a student success story. Marketing has created the “Why Perth” but Alanna McDonell said the marketing team could build on this.
2. Reach out to more of the unplugged centres 3. Ads in magazines and the Lee Valley catalogue 4. Attend more trade shows and the Woodworking show 5. Alumni 6. Direct contact with contractors 7. Have current students attend high school visits with recruiters 8. Create a partnership package 9. Film the students on the Field Work projects and use as marketing tool 10. Alanna asked the committee for some names of publications they would suggest contacting; Cottage
Life, Houzz, Interiors, Fine Home Builders.
d. Recommendation for Field Work Currently the program has a one week of Field Work in the curriculum. Chris posed the question to the committee if the Field Work should increase from one week to 7 or 8 weeks. The committee feels it would depend on the projects available, transportation and logistics. It was agreed that 7 weeks is more attractive. The committee suggested the option of hours versus weeks, which would give more flexibility depending on
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
223
the project. Chris agreed that this could be an option and would discuss it with the faculty. The committee suggested compiling a list of approved projects (stockpile). e. Key Performance Indicators The annual Key Performance Indicator (KPI) survey is administered at the college by an independent research firm for the Ontario government. Colleges collect and report performance in five areas – graduate satisfaction, student satisfaction, employment rate, and employer satisfaction and graduation rate. The results of the survey are published on the Ministry website. Rural campuses can struggle in the survey since they do not have the same number of services as larger urban campuses. Typically, the Perth campus does well in the survey. The results will be sent out and can be discussed in the next meeting of the committee. 5. Status of New Program Development a. Collaborative Degree The campus had conversation with Carleton University regarding the possibility of a collaborative degree but it has been decided that the College will develop the degree on our own while keeping in touch with Carleton University. The name of the degree is still under review, currently it is referred to as the Bachelor of Technology in Built Heritage. Draft curriculum is being developed and should be ready for approval by January 2022. A target date for a launch of the graduate certificate is Fall of 2023. Darren Taubman and Lynn Cummings will be the leads on the degree development however Chris requested volunteers from the committee to create an ad-hoc committee to work with Darren and Lynn. Krista MacWilliam, Dave Prini, John Cooke and Brian Hierlihy have all volunteered to be members with Brian as the Chair along with Darren. b. Timber Framing College Certificate There are three certificates consisting of 140 hours each. c. Ontario College Certificate – Built Heritage The College has received approval for a graduate certificate in Built Heritage. 6. Summary of action items
a. Send out the KPI reports - Cheryl b. Send out the Vocational Learning Outcomes - Cheryl c. Send the committee members the Continuing Education workshops information - Cheryl d. Thank you for the Co-op motion – Chris e. Take the addition of Co-op Education to the College Executive team – Chris f. Discuss the increase of Field Work from 1 to 7 weeks with faculty - Chris g.

4.6 Work Integrated Learning
This section provides details of the work experience requirements for the proposed Bachelor of Applied
Science (Building Conservation) (Honours) program. In addition to the explanation of the integration of the
work experiences within the program content, there is also information about the types of placements, the
support for finding placements, and the outcomes for the placements.
Program Structure
Year Fall Semester Winter Semester Spring/Summer Semester
Year 1 Level 1 Level 2 Off
Year 2 Level 3 Level 4 Co-op I
Year 3 Level 5 Co-op II Level 6
Year 4 Co-op III Level 7 Level 8
Integration of Work Experiences
The proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours) includes three (3) mandatory co-
op work terms that must be completed successfully to qualify for graduation. The work terms are scheduled
following semesters four (4), five (5), and six (6) and are each for a period of fourteen (14) weeks (420 hours)
in length.
After four (4), five (5), and six (6) semesters, students will be able to function with a sense of autonomy and
demonstrate a great level of contribution. These co-op work terms will help in building practical work
experience and will act as an educational tool in subsequent semesters. Furthermore, ideas for the fourth-
year capstone projects (Built Conservation Projects 1 and 2) may be derived from the co-op experiences.
The placement of the co-op work terms is part of a deliberate strategy to use the practical work experience as
an educational tool in subsequent courses. As a result, third and fourth-year studies will be augmented based
on participation in real-world projects and activities.
Types of Work-integrated Learning Experiences
As indicated, there will be a variety of work-integrated learning experiences, including through co-op
placements, in-class and community projects and the final year project courses. These experiences are all
intended to scaffold student learning, such that the knowledge and skills they gain from going on co-op
placement can be leveraged in their course projects, and vice-versa. To that end, there are two criteria that
will be used for the ideal work-integrated experiences. Firstly, each experience should be similar to what
would be expected of a recent graduate. We appreciate that students will be novices initially, but we want to
be able to set them up for success as graduates and provide them with opportunities that will allow them to
grow their capabilities during their studies. Secondly, work experiences of a ‘project’ nature are preferred,
with clearly defined scope, and start and end dates. We will work closely with our industry partners.
Department of Co-operative Education, and the Office of Applied Research and Innovation to ensure that our
students are able to work on projects that they can contribute to from beginning to end.
The diversity and quantity of organizations involved in the built environment draw upon the knowledge
contained within the disciplines of conservation, revitalization, re-use, preservation, restoration and
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
225
rehabilitation from a policy, materials use, skilled trades, architecture, engineering, project management and
site management perspective just to name a few – this provides for a wide array of placement opportunities.
With the proposed program located in the greater Ottawa area and the Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto triangle
means there is extensive potential for placements in the public and private sectors, locally, nationally and in
fact internationally given our current connections through the existing programs in both Perth and the
Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence.
Support for co-op placements from local employers is high, with a variety of organizations already pledging a
willingness to offer co-op placements to students enrolled in the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science
(Building Conservation) (Honours) program.
Support for co-op placements will be sought from heritage professionals, construction and building
associations, museums, and government agencies. Within these fields, letters of support for the program and
co-op placements have been received to date from:
1. Barber – Carving & Sculpture Inc.
2. Barry Podalsky Associates Inc. Urban Design and Heritage Consultant
3. Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals
4. Canadian Conservation Institute
5. City of Hamilton, Heritage Facilities and Capital Planning
6. Cumberland Village Heritage Museum

Support for Work-integrated Learning Experiences
Co-op work experiences are supported by Algonquin's Cooperative Education Department. In more specific
terms, staff from the Co-op Department facilitate the relationship between the employer/supervisor and the
student, while ensuring that the College meets its responsibilities for the quality of the work experience. The
Co-op Department works collaboratively with faculty members from the academic department to ensure the
placements are appropriate. The Co-op Department leverages the connections of faculty members with the
industry/community. These connections are a key aspect of how faculty members maintain their currency as
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)

part of their ongoing professional development. Examples of activities that facilitate community relationships
include being active on the program advisory committee, being active in local professional societies, attending
and participating in industry conferences, participating in applied research, and organizing tours and guest
speakers.
In addition to the Co-op Preparation online module offered prior to the start of the first co-op work term,
students receive support and guidance from staff in the Co-op Department throughout the application
process, including the submission of resumes, and the scheduling of interviews.
While students are on placement, there is further support from the Co-op Department through the monitoring
of the work experience. In collaboration with faculty from the academic program, site visits to the placement
are organized. Finally, staff in the Co-op Department mediate and guide the resolution of any issues that may
arise during the work term. Algonquin’s Cooperative Education Department details its services on the website:

Following established practices and procedures for cooperative education at Algonquin, evaluation of
student performance during the placement will be based on input from the employer/supervisor and on
work completed by the student. The employer/supervisor will complete both a Midterm Progress Report
and a Final Employer Evaluation. On both of these documents, students need to meet or exceed established
criteria for the placement. In addition, students will write a Final Work Term Report that will be submitted to
the academic department for grading by a faculty member. As part of this report, students need to connect
their work experience with the learning outcomes that were established for the work term. Once again,
students need to meet or exceed established criteria for the report.
The Co-operative Education Department facilitates the co-op process including the development of job
opportunities and the preparation of students for the work force. The department acts as a liaison between
the student, the employer and the academic department and collects the relevant academic assignments. A
website facilitates access to student and employer related web-based forms
http://www.algonquincollege.com/coop/.
Students, employers and the Co-op Department work together to ensure appropriate communication and
assessment during the co-op placement. All have access to a web-based platform that includes the following
guidelines/assessments:

Conclusion In keeping with the Board's standards and benchmarks for program content, the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours) program includes three (3) mandatory co-op work terms that are scheduled in a block of fourteen (14) weeks. The first work term is in the summer semester (May – August) between the levels four (4) and five (5), the second work term is in the winter semester (January – April) between levels five (5) and six (6), and the third work term is in the Fall semester (September – December) between levels six (6) and seven (7). As indicated above, these work experiences:
are appropriate to the program;
have articulated learning outcomes; and
identify an appropriate method for both instructor and employer/supervisor assessment leading to the assignment of a grade.
The three work terms have been designed to meet the Co-operative Education and Work Integrated Learning Canada (CEWIL Canada) definition of co-op, in that the design:
alternates periods of academic terms and work terms;
represents 30% of the time spent in academic study; and,
spans seasonality. Students in the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours), as well as employers in related industries, will benefit from Algonquin's established reputation for experiential learning as exemplified through co-operative education. Moreover, on-going collaboration between the academic department and Algonquin's Co-operative Education Department will ensure that there are rich and meaningful work experiences that contribute to both the breadth and depth of the knowledge and skills developed by the students.

5. Program Delivery The methodologies proposed for the delivery of curriculum and other program elements, and the associated
quality assurance policies and procedures meet the Board’s requirements as described in the following
sections.
5.1 Quality Assurance of Delivery
Algonquin College has a formal, institutionally approved policy and procedure for the periodic review of
programs that embodies the characteristics required of the Board. Algonquin has an effective Program
Quality Assurance process detailed in Policy AA38: Program Quality Assurance. The program evaluation
process consists of three primary components, Annual Curriculum Review, Program Mix Review and
Program Quality Review (PQR).
Algonquin College’s overall Quality Assurance Model and Processes may be viewed on the Program Quality
Assurance Website: http://www3.algonquincollege.com/academic-development/our-services/program-
quality-assurance/
The electronic policies file includes the policy on Quality Assurance within the following:
Policy AA 38: Program Quality Assurance
The electronic policies file includes policies and procedures pertaining to quality assurance within the
following:
Policy AA03: Program Councils
Policy AA25: Student Course Feedback
Policy AA38: Program Quality Assurance
5.2 Student Assessment and Workload
There will be several formalized opportunities to gather feedback on student performance and workload in the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours). As the courses are developed and delivered, faculty within the program will review and map the course assessments to ensure a balance of student workload and expectations. The map will be built upon as each year of the program is delivered and reviewed annually during the course outline review and renewal period to ensure that allowed adjustments are reflected in the course outlines for the following year as well as the course section information documents. Given that the degree will be taught by faculty that will also be teaching in the Heritage Carpentry and Joinery diploma program and by faculty conducting applied research (where some students will also be able to participate in applied research projects) there will be regular and frequent communication with all of the faculty across the breadth of the curriculum delivery and stakeholder engagement. At the Perth Campus all faculty use the same office areas and the size of the campus lends itself to very frequent and deep levels of engagement on this topic. Additionally, faculty will meet a minimum of twice per year, formally, to review
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
235
course curriculum and currency of content and to discuss proposed curriculum updates that will inform the Annual Curriculum Review process for the program. A key source of feedback for faculty is the student feedback on their learning experience gathered through reviewed course evaluations, twice annual program council meetings, and an annual focus group conducted by a non-faculty member, through which students will have the opportunity to share comments, suggestions and concerns on the program delivery and workload. There is of course the regular interaction of students and faculty on a daily basis. The program is structured so that workload is evenly distributed across the various semesters with each semester having a blend of studio/lab practical training, in-class theoretical training and out-of-class learning including experiential and self-study. The distribution of hours between these domains shifts as the student progresses with heavier studio/lab components at the beginning of the program and heavier out-of-class learning toward the end due to the nature of the project work in the later semesters. This workload distribution is done thoughtfully with the consideration of the co-op term experiences students will have.
5.3 Student Feedback
Algonquin College believes that student feedback as to the quality and effectiveness of course/program
delivery is an important component in the ongoing improvement of the delivery of programs. There are
standardized and regular feedback mechanisms in place to gather quantitative and qualitative data to inform
plans and actions.
Student Course Feedback (Course Assessment) survey results provide quantitative data that is analyzed
annually and compared year to year. Aligning with the College’s desire to reach all students anytime, anywhere,
Student Course Feedback surveys are online. Instead of a traditional one-time in-class opportunity to provide
feedback, surveys are open for a generous time period, with results available to individual course professors
and Academic Administrators immediately at the end of the course. Furthermore, the archiving of survey
results paves the way for efficient longitudinal analyses of this survey data enabling the College to determine
whether improvement initiatives have made a change in the program from the students’ perspective or
indicating where improvements are necessary. Qualitative information is also obtained from Student Course
Feedback surveys and Program Council meetings. All of this information is reviewed on an ongoing basis and
responded to, as appropriate. Promotion initiatives of the Student Course Feedback surveys, including videos,
signage, and promotional materials, as well as weekly response rate tracking, have resulted in year-over-year
response rate increases.
Where student feedback or performance are indicative of the need for support, academic advising and
student success specialists are available to assist students. Academic advising is available to students
through the services of faculty assigned an advising role. The role of the academic advisor is defined in
AA40: Academic Advising http://www2.algonquincollege.com/directives/policy/academic-advising/ as "...a
professor or instructor who has been assigned the responsibility of providing academic guidance to students
in his/her program at one or more specified levels.” (AA40, p.1)
Academic Advising tools and other resources, such as the Academic Advising Begins handbook are available
to faculty to assist in supporting students’ needs http://www.algonquincollege.com/acadvising/
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
236
Student support specialists are assigned to each Faculty to provide guidance for overall student issues and
to provide support to students struggling with academics. http://www.algonquincollege.com/student-
success/home/support-services/
Student Coaching, Peer Tutoring and Study Workshops are also available to help students identify solutions
to difficulties with their studies through face-to-face coaching and virtual applications. Additionally, a
Student Learning Centre (SLC) is available to provide students with support in English, math, and computer
skills including Learning Support Labs, Peer Tutoring, Digital Literacy Labs, Presentation Studios, Study
Resources and SLC Kiosks. http://www.algonquincollege.com/slc/

6. Capacity to Deliver
6.1.a Faculty Qualifications
In order to deliver on the vision for this program, the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building
Conservation) (Honours) incorporates nine courses from the Heritage Carpentry and Joinery Ontario College
Diploma program. Through these courses, students gain the technical carpentry and joinery skills for the
preservation, renovation, and restoration of existing buildings, including historical architecture. The
inclusion of these courses also provides a strong pathway for graduates of the Heritage Carpentry and
Joinery Ontario College Diploma program, and other related trades programs to pursue degree-level study
(see Section 3.2 Advanced Standing Policies and Requirements). The integration of these courses also
enables strategic and more sustainable resource use at the Perth campus. The courses are intentionally
integrated throughout the four years of study, rather than designed as 2+2 model, to support the students
in making connections across the technical and theoretical components of this field. However, the
integration of carpentry, joinery, timberframing and log building courses in the degree, for which the
credential of choice for those is a Red Seal Certificate of Qualification, needs to be taken into account in
regard to the PEQAB benchmark on Faculty Qualifications for Undergraduate Programs (Standard 5,
Benchmarks 2 and 3).
The curriculum is comprised of 40 courses, 30 of which are core and ten of which are breadth (non-core) (see Section 4.2.1 Course Schedules). Of the 30 core courses, nine are shared with the Heritage Carpentry and Joinery Ontario College Diploma program. Given this purposeful integration and the applied nature of the degree, faculty who have vocational experience and credentials in heritage and building conservation, which may also be reflected by a Red Seal certification, have been identified for the two of the degree project courses (CSV9710 and CSV9800). As a result, while 17/30 or 57% of the core courses will be taught by faculty holding a PhD credential, the remaining 13 courses will be taught by a mix of faculty with either Masters or related vocational credentials. Benchmark 5.3. is met in that more than half of all faculty teaching core courses hold a terminal credential in the field. The College is seeking exceptions to the PEQAB faculty credential benchmark 5.2.b for 6 faculty to teach the nine courses shared with the Heritage Carpentry and Joinery program, as well as two of the applied degree-level courses. Per the PEQAB requirement (Standard 5 Benchmark 2.b, footnote 26), the Senior Vice President Academic has approved, in writing, the faculty exceptions to this Benchmark (see Appendix 1). The courses that theses faculty will be teaching are:
Year and Level Course Code and Title Course Hours
Year 1, Level 1 CON9111 Carpentry: Foundations, Floors, Walls, and Basic Roofs 84
Year 1, Level 1 WOO9254 Joinery Fundamentals 112
Year 1, Level 2 WOO9228 Carpentry: Roofs and Finishes 154

Year 4, Level 8 CSV9800 Building Conservation Project 2 70
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)

*rows highlighted in green represent courses shared with the Heritage Carpentry and Joinery Ontario College Diploma These courses have a heavy practical component that is akin to studio courses, and are necessary for students to make the connections between trade/craft and architecture, sustainability, and conservation. Through the combination of theory and practice, graduates will become academically qualified professionals and craftspeople with both an understanding and appreciation of traditional skills and competences as well as critical thinking endemic in this sector and that is so necessary to the work of building conservation. . These courses require those with a Red Seal qualification given that the trade/craft/artisanal aspect of these courses tie together with the theoretical aspects from the other courses in an applied way through practitioners. This degree is designed to respond to the requirement that working on heritage buildings requires distinct skills from more general construction related work, such as integrating heritage focused critical thinking skills and cultural appreciation with what we have come to know as contemporary trades training. In this way the technical and professional skills of the people, such as our graduates, who ensure the long-term sustainability of the built environment and our cultural heritage are both promoted and protected.

Faculty may use the course reserve service to make specific materials available for their students. More details about faculty supports can be found on the library’s website. Library collections The Perth Campus of Algonquin College is home to a collection of local history documents for Lanark County and the surrounding area, including land registry, birth/death records, census records, historic newspaper archives, fire insurance plans, historic atlases, architectural and conservation reports and drawings, both local and from the greater Ontario region. In partnership with Archives Ontario, the library houses several primary resources, on long-term loan from the Archives, including but not limited to the original Land record copybooks for Lanark County and tax rolls for the town of Perth. Many permanent and seasonal residents use the local history collection for genealogical research, but it is also a valuable resource for students as they research older properties in the Perth area. The recent addition of a collection of historic restoration documents and resources from John Stewart’s company, Commonwealth Historic Resource Management Limited, should prove quite beneficial for this program. In-house Support material for students in the Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours) may be spread throughout the library collection. The following list provides a few sample subject areas that may be of interest. Resources from the broader subjects, architecture and building construction, as well as from more specialized crafts and trades may also support this program.

6.6 Resource Renewal and Upgrading
Library Resources
The College plans and invests in Library acquisitions on an annual basis. Library resource needs are identified by
the librarians as well as faculty members. Faculty members review existing acquisitions, typically in the
May/June timeframe. New resources (text, video, journal, electronic) that will be of benefits are prioritized and
purchasing recommendations submitted to the Library for consideration as per yearly funding allocations.
Policy AA31 further details the Library’s (formerly the Learning Resource Centre) mandate.
Computers and Computer Access
The College establishes an instructional computing and technology renewal and upgrading plan on an annual
basis. A process for renewal of computers and their deployment to staff has been established as detailed in
Policy IT02- Technology Evergreening and Policy IT06-Deployment of Computing Devices.
New equipment and renewal requirements are identified and prioritized on an annual basis in conjunction
with capital equipment planning. The College Space and Infrastructure Committee (CSIC) develops plans to
address strategic directions, needs and areas for improvement. On an annual basis, Schools are requested
by the CSIC to bring forward requests for renovations and/or space requirements to improve the learning
environment. These requests are prioritized by a sub-committee of CSIC.
Allocation of funds for environmental and learning resources is an annual process as per the budget
approved by Algonquin College’s Board of Governors. Capital funds are distributed amongst the
Faculties/Schools in the College and the allocation varies from year to year, based on funds available.
Classrooms
The College upgrades and enhances facilities on an ongoing basis taking into account enrolments, faculty
support needs, and the growing use of web-based technologies for learning and teaching.

The table above depicts both the enrolment and staffing projections for the program. It is assumed that a
full-time professor will teach 4 courses per semester (180hrs or 360 per year). The figures are based on a
plan to hire a full-time faculty member in the second year following the launch of the program, assuming
stable enrolment. An existing faculty member will assume program coordination duties in the first year of
the program’s launch. This faculty member is a holder of a Red Seal in Carpentry and is currently completing
his Masters of Arts in Heritage Conservation at Carleton University. In the second year of the program, the
College intends to hire a full-time faculty member with a PhD to share in the leadership related to the
degree program. The existing full-time faculty will be 100% dedicated to the degree in year 1 and year 2 and
then reduced to 50% in year three with the addition of the other full-time faculty dedicated to the degree.
Faculty Selection
Faculty selection and orientation are detailed within Policy HR07: Full-time Hiring Process and Policy HR10:

6.8 Faculty Credentials, Performance, Professional Development
Review of Faculty Performance
The Academic Chair is expected to conduct regular reviews of faculty performance, which includes a review
of student feedback on teaching and supervision (see Policy AA25: Student Course Feedback). Formal
performance appraisals of full-time faculty are to be conducted no less than once every three years and as
often as yearly. However, Student Course Feedback surveys are reviewed following each semester and any
areas for improvement are addressed with faculty on an ongoing basis. Performance appraisals of faculty
are conducted to ensure that student needs are being adequately met as well as to discuss the ongoing
needs and professional development of faculty.
New professors are subject to a one-year probationary period during which time the Chair will evaluate
them at regular intervals (every 4 months). The Chair completes a final, more detailed, evaluation
immediately prior to the end of the probationary period to formally acknowledge and confirm the faculty
member’s suitability.
The College has a Faculty Performance Development Program that provides for a consistent approach across
the College in how faculty performance is evaluated, as well as ensuring that it is collaborative and
respectful of all stakeholders. The program includes teaching observations, faculty self-evaluations and
setting of professional development plans that are completed on a three-year cycle, with annual reviews to
all for timely guidance.
Faculty Currency and Professional Development
The College offers a wide range of professional development activities for staff throughout the year. Policy
H04: Tuition Assistance – Degree Completion was instated to assist staff who wish to pursue further studies.
The purpose of Policy H04 is:
‘To provide professors and other College employees with support in acquiring degrees at the
bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral level at postsecondary institutions to better serve the needs of the
students, the strategic directions of the College, and to assist employees in achieving their
professional development goals.’
Other varied professional development opportunities offered by the Centre for Organizational Learning with
Human Resources may be viewed at: http://www.algonquincollege.com/pd/
Program faculty have received support to pursue furthering their academic credentials.
Faculty Innovation
Algonquin supports experimentation with new teaching methods and is an advocate for innovation.
Innovation was specifically referenced in the College’s 2008-2013 Strategic Plan and defined as, “…the
successful implementation of creative ideas which includes initiatives related to staff, programs, technology
and business processes." As such an Academic Innovation Fund was established in 2009 to formally support
experimentation with new teaching methodologies. Innovation is ongoing, and budget permitting, it is
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
253
expected that calls for proposals will continue to be announced. Now known as the Algonquin College
Innovation Fund (ACIF), faculty and staff are able to propose and receive up to a maximum of $10,000 for
projects that will lead to productivity improvements, enhanced teaching and learning, more engaged
employees and greater student success.
The Employee Learning Exchange is located in the College’s new DARE District. It provides a one-stop
solution where employees can meet their learning and technology needs from peers and specialists and
ignite creativity and innovation. Co-located within this space are the Centre for Continuing and Online
Learning, an Audio/Video recording studio, Learning Management System Help, Information Technology
Services, Learning and Teaching Services and the Centre for Organizational Learning.
Whenever new technologies are adopted for teaching and learning, professional development is provided
through Learning and Teaching Services. Typically prior to adopting system wide technologies, the College
will pilot/experiment, using off-site hosting services when necessary, and rollout the professional
development support in tandem. A Virtual Desktop Infrastructure is now in place which allows students and
staff to have access to any College licensed software anywhere/anytime on any device assisting with more
flexible course delivery.

7. Credential Recognition
7.1 Labour Market Information
Opportunities for Graduates and Overview of Support and Recognition of the Program from the
Profession and Other Postsecondary Institutions
During the course of developing the proposal, an in-depth labour market analysis was commissioned by the College to determine the need for the proposed program. The study concluded that there is a definite need for the degree program. The Labour Market Analysis conducted in March 2021 by Hanover Research indicates that there is a market for the proposed program especially in Ontario. According to the report, Ontario accounts for more of Canada’s cultural heritage Gross Domestic Product than any other province (home to over 20,000 heritage properties) and graduates can expect promising employment prospects. Nationally, over the period of 2018-2028, Canada will see an average of 8.7% growth in related occupations (approximately 11,000 new jobs). The number of related job openings that are open at any one time in 2021 total 4200; that will grow to 4500 by 2025. Further, most relevant occupations to this degree are projected to grow by more than 7 percent in Ontario and command salaries of $70,000 or more. In addition to growth in the domain of building conservation, the March 2021 BuildForce Labour Market report states that the construction sector, overall in both residential and institutional areas, remains strong through to 2030, with an employment change of +5.7% or 23,500 jobs. In the case of Eastern Ontario, non-residential employment is expected to grow by 3,378 workers (+14%) by 2024, and growth is expected to remain through to 2028 due to ongoing infrastructure investments in public transportation, the health sector, utilities, and major projects, such as Parliament Hill’s Centre Block. The executive summary to a report crafted by the National Trust of Canada called “Making Reuse the New Normal – Accelerating the Reuse and Retrofit of Canada’s Built Environment 2020” notes that:
“Canada became a signatory to the COP 21 Paris Agreement in 2015, committing to a 30 per cent reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from 2005 levels by 2030, and a goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The construction and building operation sector is widely understood to be Canada’s largest single source of energy use and emissions generating nearly half of its GHGs. Rapidly accelerating building reuse offers one of the quickest ways to help achieve Canada’s climate change goals. Studies have established that it takes between 10-80 years for a new “green” building to overcome the carbon impacts of its construction. Achieving Canada’s climate change goals, then, will require capitalizing on the embodied energy and avoided impact possible through building reuse.”
The learning gained from a degree in this area, such as the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours), is key to the complementary goals of preserving built heritage and addressing climate change. In fact, this report identifies he limited availability of skilled heritage workers/ professionals as one of the technical barriers to be overcome in reaching climate change goals. This proposed degree addresses one of the recommendations to “create a job training program that addresses these shortages”. Similarly, a report on Human Resources in the Preservation of Built Heritage by the National Trust notes:
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)

“If we use the conservative estimate that 10% of pre-1941 buildings possess heritage value, then there are approximately 128,000 residential properties with heritage value that require ongoing maintenance, repair and preservation work. The materials and characteristics of this older building stock are fundamentally different from newer stock.” “If people in positions of planning, policy and program creation at the municipal, as well as Provincial and federal levels do not have knowledge of, or at least sensitivity to, heritage matters, then the climate for conservation suffers.” Through this degree we achieve a recommendation from that report in a way that was not previously done, “Because work on heritage buildings requires some distinct skills from more general renovation work, widely integrating heritage skills training with contemporary trades training is a prudent system for both students and employers.”
The Cultural Human Resources Council’s report, “Human Resources In Canada’s Built Heritage Sector: Mapping the Work Force and Setting Strategic Priorities,” further advocates for professional development and ensuring that the distinct trade skills needed by the sector are systematically addressed. This degree, through training and through research, responds to both of these. The Ad-Hoc advisory committee engagement was centred on 16 key individuals but consultations also included a broader range of upwards of 65 individuals and associations who weighed in on the goals and nomenclature for the degree. These stakeholders represent memberships in associations that number in the hundreds covering the categories of the labour market more finely described as follows: Sector Management and Administration / Policy Development and Application comprises those professional functions related to developing regulatory and policy frameworks, applying regulations and policies to specific applications that involve approval requirements, and undertaking analytical and consulting studies pertinent to policy and strategy. Applied Research encompasses two distinct types of research and analysis. The first pertains to an analysis of the cultural or historical significance of a particular project. The second entails a physical examination of the site to obtain the technical information necessary for preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, expansion, etc. Project Design, Planning and Management involves the development of a specific plan for preservation, restoration, rehabilitation or expansion and (where relevant) subsequent management of a heritage site. Project Execution involves the implementation of a design plan. Project execution skills are predominantly those associated with various branches of the construction industry. Built heritage projects often require specialized skills and understanding on the part of contractors and skill tradespersons and craftpersons. Facility Management involves development and implementation of a preventive maintenance programme and general asset management with an emphasis on preservation. Both technical skills and business skills involved.

Cultural Historical Programming and Interpretation involves the development and delivery of content programming pertinent to the project and the production of interpretive materials to communicate the sites cultural or historical significance. Through the proposed degree, students will gain the necessary familiarity in working in the built heritage environment in order to authentically and properly engage with suppliers, trade contractors and skilled tradespeople and educate others with their understanding of period-specific construction technologies and materials. The ability to integrate building code compliance and retro-fitting or repair with the cultural and historical integrity of a built heritage structure will allow for dual success of achieving low carbon climate change objectives, as well as cultural conservation and restoration objectives. With the inclusion of heritage site management, heritage conservation planning, evaluation of existing buildings for one of re-use, repair or maintenance means that students can ensure properties are here for today and in the future. Academic recognition of the program was received for pathway opportunities into postgraduate studies for graduates from multiple universities including domestic (Carleton University and Athabasca University) and international (University of Gothenburg and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology). The European Union is experiencing similar issues to those in Canada, which creates further opportunities for students and graduates of the proposed degree. The report “Fostering Cooperation In The European Union On Skills, Training And Knowledge Transfer In Cultural Heritage Professions” states:
“New skills and competences are needed to progress towards a more integrated and participatory management of cultural heritage, and better use of the opportunities offered by new technologies. Europe urgently needs to enhance, promote and protect the technical and professional skills of the people who ensure the long-term sustainability of its cultural heritage. People are central to the transfer of knowledge and skills, so it is important to invest in them in order to safeguard Europe’s heritage.”
The proposed degree has been designed to address the challenges expressed in this report, including:
A focus on craft careers that not only concentrate on contemporary production, materials and technologies.
Inclusion of business and new digital heritage skills to ensure these competencies are present within the built heritage workforce.
Inclusion of practical skills, interdisciplinary working and decision-making skills, and on the design, assessment and review of innovative solutions to help close the gap on a poor correlation and cooperation between academic training and the heritage competence requirements of the labour market.
Combination of the practical with the theoretical, whereby academically qualified professionals and craftspeople have the same understanding and appreciation of traditional skills and competencies, and reduce perceived social preferences for academic qualifications over vocational ones.
Applicant Demand Interest
As noted within the labour market analysis, the proposed program provides a unique combination of
knowledge and skills that has no comparable degree offerings within Canada. Student surveys were
conducted to gauge interest of current students in Algonquin College’s Heritage Carpentry and Joinery and
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
262
Architectural Technician programs might have in pursuing the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science
(Building Conservation) (Honours) degree program. Of the 40 responses received, 80% indicated that they
were interested in the in the program. While it is a small sample, this result indicates interest in the program
from students in complementary programs, which may translate into registrants that would allow the
program to meet enrolment targets.
Of note, through our experience with the launch of the Bachelor of Science (Building Science) (Honours)
through the Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence, our plan is to co-market with the Bachelor of
Applied Science (Building Conservation) (Honours) in order to provide a full-scope promotion of training and
education that covers the full scope of perspectives to tackle the built environment’s challenges including
that of climate change. Furthermore, the Heritage Carpentry and Joinery diploma program has been
waitlisted in each of the past four years – an indication that heritage craft interest is on the rise and instep
with industry demand.

7.3 Tracking Program Graduates
The Algonquin College Advancement Office leads alumni engagement activities for all academic programs.
Prior to graduation, students are informed of the Alumni & Friends Network and invited to stay connected
with the College by updating their contact information. Graduates are then engaged in various activities,
such as: speaking with new students at the beginning of term orientation (AC Day 1); through graduate
profiles which are collected and shared with the community; and, through events, such as Alumni at Work
coffee breaks, which celebrate Algonquin alumni in various organizations. The Alumni Foundation, through
the Alumni Engagement team shares communications with graduates on a regular basis through email and
social media. The College will continue to build its capacity through the Foundation to support the collection
of graduate employment and educational outcomes through directed communications with degree alumni.
Currently, the Heritage Carpentry and Joinery Program maintains a LinkedIn group of more than 500 alumni
and a Facebook group. In recent years the program has developed an annual “Career Pathways” event
where the Heritage Carpentry & Joinery Program hosts students, graduates and employers for an evening of
information and conversation. The event includes presentations by graduates and employers about
experiences and opportunities after the program, followed by food and informal social time to chat with
former classmates, visit with peers, see the work of our current students, and share experiences after
graduation.
The existing Heritage Carpentry and Joinery diploma program is developing a more robust alumni network
and a database to maintain contact with graduates. Communications to alumni will include job
opportunities for current and past students, invitations to speak, industry updates, mentor opportunities,
notifications of conferences and industry events, and an opportunity to receive communications from the
Program.

Christopher Hahn, Dean, Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence 1385 Woodroffe Avenue, Ottawa, Ontario K2G 1V8 Perth Campus and Heritage Institute 7 Craig Street, Perth, Ontario K7H 1X7 Canada 8 May 2021 Re: Support for “Bachelor of Applied Science – Building Conservation (Honours)”
James Forrester is pleased to support the proposed Bachelor of Applied Science – Building Conservation (Honours) by Algonquin College. The concept that Algonquin College, by adding this degree, will round out their programming and enhance the applied research that it already undertakes through its Heritage Institute at the Perth Campus and at the Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence at the Ottawa Campus is a strong foundation on which to build. I look forward to seeing graduates with the critical thinking skills necessary and the craft that comes with using traditional skills, historic technologies, and contemporary materials. They will be able to tackle all the built environment - everything from working with special designated heritage architecture and cultural resources through to making alterations to or renewing existing buildings. In addition, students will be trained to create new structures and components that will withstand the test of time. Graduates will help the industry’s ongoing shift to low-carbon construction, supporting the circular economy by increasing building reuse, renewal, and revitalization. The Old Red House located at 55 Craig Street in Perth is a prime example of the type of project, which Applied BSc students can become involved with as part of their degree program, through traditional research and documentation or via the cooperative education component. Over the last five years, we have been working with Algonquin Perth and Dean Chris Hahn to accomplish a major relocation and restoration of this 205-year-old squared timber building onto the original Perth Military Settlement Square at 43 Craig Street nearby. The transfer of the building to public ownership will not only provide valuable heritage conservation experience for the students in the program, but it will also restore the building to its 1819 state when it became the Old Red House, following a visit by the Duke of Richmond in August of that year. As a method of promoting the project and the Heritage Institute, I’ve conducted several public talks on the subject, with the most recent one being posted on YouTube:

In May of 2019, I attended the Ontario Heritage Conference at Goderich as a delegate for the Selwyn Township Municipal Heritage Committee. This conference provided workshops and updates on heritage activities across the province. Informally the OHC was an excellent venue to raise the profile of both the project and the Heritage Institute. Unfortunately, due to the Pandemic both the 2020 and 2021 conferences were cancelled. Although there’s the possibility that the next one may occur at Brockville in June 2022. I look forward to participating in the delivery of the degree program through, hosting students for site visits, providing guest lecturing, and supplementing curriculum content by continuing as a member of the advisory committee. During my 25 years working at OCADU I participated as a member of both campus-wide and provincial committees including election to the university Board of Governors. The Ontario College of Art & Design, which is celebrating its 145th anniversary this year, underwent a similar transition from granting AOCA certificates to academic degrees when it became a university in 2002. I applaud Algonquin’s request to grant an applied degree, which seems much more appropriate for “hands-on” programs and much easier to implement. From 2018 to 2021, I served as the TUAA representative on the Trent University Senate, gaining valuable experience with curriculum design and accreditation of courses and degrees. Sincerely, James A. Forrester

8. Regulation and Accreditation
While there is no required accreditation for programs in this field, Algonquin College is planning to further
investigate the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC) accreditation guidelines, which was a
recommendation in Hanover’s labour market analysis report.
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)

9. Nomenclature
The proposed Bachelor of Applied Science nomenclature is the result of extensive research and stakeholder input, including an environmental scan of related programs in Canada, the United States of America, and Europe. As part of the development, the College commissioned a labour market analysis report through Hanover Research. In addition to student and labour market demand, the College was also interested in the nomenclature of potential comparator and/or competitor programs. One of the recommendations Hanover made in the report was to offer the degree as a Bachelor of Applied Science. The report noted “all reviewed competitor bachelor’s programs are offered as BAS [Bachelor of Applied Science] or Bachelor of Engineering degrees, focusing on the technical, applied components rather than the theoretical components of the field” (Hanover, pg. 4). Our environmental scan yielded similar results. While there are few comparative programs at the undergraduate level, we identified:
Carleton University: o Bachelor of Engineering (Architectural Conservation and Sustainability Engineering) o Bachelor of Architectural Studies (Conservation and Sustainability)
American College of the Building Arts: o Bachelor of Applied Science (Building Arts)
While the College does not intend to pursue engineering or architecture accreditation for the proposed program, these comparator programs do represent degree areas for which the Bachelor of Applied Science nomenclature is used. At the graduate level, there are several Masters of Applied Science or Masters of Science for which graduates of the proposed degree could be eligible. Letters of support for graduate programs were received from the following institutions, which also reflects recognition of the proposed nomenclature by other post-secondary institutions nationally and internationally:
Carleton University: o Masters of Architecture o Masters of Architecture Studies
Athabasca University: o Graduate diploma in Heritage Resources Management
University of Gothenburg: o Master of Science in Conservation
University of Norway: o Master of Traditional Crafts
The degree nomenclature and title were significant topics of conversation with the Program Advisory Committee (PAC) at several meetings. The PAC noted the importance of highlighting and reflecting the “applied” aspects of the program in the degree title and had a shared consensus on the Bachelor of Applied Science as the appropriate nomenclature that would attract students, be reflective of the learning outcomes of the degree, and be recognizable to employers for both co-op opportunities and employment following graduation. A survey of industry and alumni secured direct feedback from 65 individuals and associations including those on the committee. The results of the survey indicated that, if only one word could be
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
306
chosen for the degree it was either “Conservation” (24) or “Built Heritage” (14), with a few suggestions for other terms. If only two words had to be chosen it seemed to mostly rest on the word Conservation (or Restoration) matched to the word Renewal (or Revitalization).
The feedback demonstrated a consistent trend that each professional, educator, industry person and
especially prospective students provided their rationale for nomenclature in relation to the word
“conservation.” The picture below helps to also clarify the use of the term.
Contextualizing the degree and its applied research aspects next to the existing Bachelor of Science (Building
Science) (Honours) degree, currently taught within the Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence,
provides a synchronicity of the degrees, as well as research opportunities not as standalone or singular
offerings but part of a full suite of offerings. Thinking of a crown, each is a jewel in the crown, and each one
adds value to an initiative that is greater than the sum of its parts.
In conclusion, the degree title conveys accurate information about the degree level since ‘Bachelor’ is
reflected in the title, which is congruent with degree level learning. The nature of the degree and discipline,
and/or subject of study, are clearly reflected with the inclusion of ‘Building Conservation’ in the title. As
such, the title facilitates the public’s understanding and assists students, employers, and other
postsecondary institutions in recognizing the level, nature and discipline of study. The title has been
supported by the Building Conservation (Honours) Ad-Hoc Program Advisory Committee.

10. Internal Quality Assurance and Development
Program Quality Assurance at Algonquin College provides a process for the ongoing formative and
summative evaluation of College programs and the services that support learning and impact academic
delivery. The College Program Quality Assurance model promotes institutional learning and renewal, guides
decision-making and promotes accountability. The process aligns with the initiatives of the Ontario College
Quality Assurance Service (OCQAS) and the Postsecondary Education Quality Assessment Board (PEQAB).
10.1 Program Review Policy
Algonquin College has a formal, institutionally approved policy and procedure for the periodic review of
programs that embodies the characteristics required of the Board. Algonquin has an effective Program
Quality Assurance process detailed in Policy AA38: Program Quality Assurance. The program evaluation
process consists of three primary components, Annual Curriculum Review, Program Mix Review and
Program Quality Review (PQR).
The three-prong quality review process includes two annual reviews, each with a different focus, and one in
depth review every five years. The current PQR process was originally designed for postsecondary programs
leading to Ontario College Credentials. The quality criteria parallel those used by the College Quality
Assurance Audit Process (CQAAP) and map to the expectations of the Program Evaluation Standard as stated
in the PEQAB Handbook for Ontario Colleges. The CQAAP external audit of the College review processes
ensures that the College has a process in place that assures continuous quality improvement. Note that,
based on feedback obtained from a PEQAB Quality Assessment Panel, the mapping to the Program
Evaluation Standard has been made more explicit within the Bachelor’s Degree PQR report template, and
quality criteria elements may be extended to include all PEQAB Benchmarks.
The Program Quality Review process at the College has been extended for degree programs. In addition to
conducting a PQR (self-study), a Program Evaluation Committee is established that adheres to the Board’s
requirements. The Program Evaluation Committee is expected to evaluate a program based on the PQR
report and a site visit during which members of the Committee meet with faculty members, students,
graduates, employers and administrators to gather information. A Program Evaluation Committee report is
completed that provides an assessment of the program quality and leads to recommendations for change
intended to strengthen the quality of the program and support ongoing continuous improvement. The
report is addressed to senior administration and shared with the College’s Academic Council, Board of
Governors, faculty members and students in the program, and includes a plan of action to respond to the
report’s recommendations. The Program Quality Assurance Administrator works with the Program Chair in
following up on the status of implementation of recommendations. A cyclical program review schedule is
established that conforms to Board requirements in that the PQR is conducted prior to a request for
Ministerial Consent Renewal. The PQR template for Bachelor’s Degrees and associated documentation to
facilitate the process may be viewed at the following link: http://www3.algonquincollege.com/academic-
development/program-quality-review-bachelors-degrees/

Algonquin College’s robust quality assurance processes with confirmed through its most recent College
Quality Assurance Audit Process (CQAAP) conducted by the Ontario College Quality Assurance Service
(OCQAS) and completed in August 2016. The audit commended Algonquin’s “very strong and well-
developed quality assurance policies, processes, and practices…” and recognized the “long-term high-level
leadership commitment to quality and high-quality leadership in the academic development and program
quality assurance roles and strong support of the Quality Assurance Office by senior administration.” The
audit results concluded that Algonquin College met all of the OCQAS Quality Standards and the College
received the decision of “mature effort,” the highest possible outcome for the audit.

Policy AA 38: Program Quality Assurance
10.2 Processes and Data Used for Continuous Improvement
10.2.1. Processes
Algonquin College maintains a well-established Program Quality Assurance Framework consisting of three primary components: Annual Curriculum Review, Annual Program Performance Review, and Program Quality Review (see Graphic 1). These components include evidence-based and participatory inquiry to determine whether active programs and courses, regardless of delivery mode or location, are achieving the intended program learning outcomes and remain in alignment with the College’s Mission and strategic directions, the Strategic Mandate Agreement with the Ministry, PEQAB Standards and Benchmarks, and evolving industry needs. These program quality assurance practices are integrated into the ongoing operations of the College, such that continuous quality improvement is supported in a direct and systematic manner to ensure transparency and stakeholder consultation throughout a program’s lifecycle as detailed in the Program Quality Assurance Framework. The Program Quality Assurance Flowchart demonstrates the cyclical and connected nature of these activities.

311
The Annual Program Performance Review (APPR) is usually undertaken following the conclusion of a fiscal year. The program’s financial and program quality data trends are reviewed annually with a focus on two primary performance measures used to signal the need to examine a program in more depth if they fall below the expected College benchmarks. Programs are examined annually on both qualitative and quantitative performance measures based on Key Performance Indicator (KPI) - Student Satisfaction results and program net financial contribution. In 2019-20, the Ministry discontinued the requirement for Ontario colleges to conduct an annual KPI Student Satisfaction and Engagement Survey. Algonquin College believes in the importance of obtaining ongoing learner feedback to improve the college experience for our learners. Given the timing of the Ministry decision, Algonquin College, similar to other colleges, contracted with the existing service provider (CCI Research Inc.) to conduct the survey on our behalf for the February 2020 survey period using the existing survey instrument. For the 2021 survey period, Algonquin College will be conducting our own annual Student Satisfaction survey, utilizing a new survey instrument that leverages questions from the previous Ministry survey, Algonquin’s learner experience survey (conducted Spring ’20 and Fall ’20) and questions shared by colleagues from other Ontario colleges. The survey will be online and administered during the February / March 2021 period. Programs with a Quality Index Score less than 70% or a net financial contribution of less than 25% after overhead must develop remediation plans that are submitted to the Executive Director, Academic Operations and Planning and the Senior Vice President, Academic. Programs are generally given more than one opportunity to remediate, though this is circumstance dependent. Programs may be considered for suspension and/or cancellation as a result of this process, should remediation strategies not demonstrate improvement at which time policy Program Suspension procedures are invoked. Program Quality Review (PQR) is a comprehensive process normally occurring on a five-seven year cycle, at which time a program team engages in an in-depth review of program data trends and program curriculum for the previous five years. All deliveries of a program, irrespective of site or delivery mode, are reviewed concurrently. Curriculum is reviewed to ensure it remains compliant with the Framework for Programs of Instruction and industry trends/requirement, as well as in consideration of the future direction of the program. Course outlines are reviewed in detail to ensure that there is congruency between program learning outcomes, course learning requirements, learning activities, and assessment methods. Stakeholder consultation is solicited from learners, faculty, alumni, and employers to inform assessment against established quality standards. Recommendations for improvement are made, and an implementation plan is developed. Curriculum-specific recommendations are realized through the Annual Curriculum review, or Program Modifications (based on the scope of curriculum revisions required), and annual program implementation follow-up reports are submitted to the Program Quality Assurance Administrator by the Academic Administrator who owns the program. Annual Curriculum Review (ACR)is an annual process to review and revise program information (including program curriculum) based on drivers ranging from editorial considerations for the upcoming web publication –to curriculum revisions, driven by applicable Program Quality Review (PQR) recommendations, changes to industry requirements, or new or revised Program Standard releases. The process begins each Spring, where Academic Departments discuss and propose changes to the narrative and curriculum in their programs as identified by the drivers mentioned above, and culminates at the end of March, where the
BACHELOR OF APPLIED SCIENCE (BUILDING CONSERVATION) (HONOURS)
312
Curriculum Administrator has reviewed and approved all proposed program revisions, and the Registrar’s Office has activated all program offerings for the upcoming academic year. The ACR process results in a new version of the program to be offered in the upcoming academic year. ACR acts as a vehicle to assist in maintaining program currency and relevancy annually in our Student Information System, on our program web pages, and on the Ontario College Application Service. Outcomes that emerge from ACR include course loading, timetabling, Course Outline Mapping and Management System (COMMS) content, and program publications.

10.2.2 Data
The academic quality assurance processes at the College are evidenced-based and taken into consideration
data and input from a variety of sources and stakeholders to ensure fulsome review and analysis of the
program and its delivery and to guide recommendations for continuous improvement. The Program Quality
Review template provides a framework for this fulsome review. Within each section, Faculty Team Leads use
the relevant data and inputs to support their analysis and recommendations. Each section requires a
summary of recommendations, which are then drawn into the concluding section to form the basis for the
implementation plan. Data used in program review supports the following:
Review of the program learning outcomes;
Review of the course descriptions, course learning requirements, and course outlines, including
review of the learning activities and assessments;
Analysis of the course delivery hours
Review and remapping (as required) of the program learning outcomes to the degree level
standards and courses to the program learning outcomes;
Analysis of course failure rate;
Review of the courses that have been granted PLAR exemption in the past 3 years;
Review of the pathways and articulations agreements for the program;
Review of the co-operative education opportunities for the program;
Analysis of the learner profile demographics, admission requirements, enrolment, and retention;
Analysis of the Key Performance Indicators for student satisfaction, graduate satisfaction, and
employer satisfaction;
Analysis of industry trends and the employment outlook for graduates;
Review of faculty credentials, professional certifications, and scholarly activity;
Review of available learning facilities.
In addition, focus groups are held with members of industry, faculty, and students to gain their insights and
learn from their experiences in the industry or in the program. As such, the program quality review is a
holistic review of the program.

12. Student Protection
In accordance with Algonquin’s core values of caring, learning, integrity and respect, ensuring ethical
business practices and the protection of students’ interests are integral to the College’s operation.
Algonquin endeavors to ensure transparency, thoroughness, and clarity of its publications in terms of
informing prospective and current students’ as to their responsibilities and rights. Numerous policies and
practices provide evidence of compliance with the Board’s requirements for student protection.
Applicant and student requirements and obligations are published in hard copy and/or web-based formats
