Cathy McMahon, OAA, MRAIC, LEED GA

Born and raised in Dominion, Nova Scotia, Cathy attended Cape Breton University for two years before pursuing architectural studies at Dalhousie. Cathy’s stirring institutional designs not only inspire the communities they serve, but also prioritize sustainability, accessibility and durability. Currently, Cathy is involved in bringing the Nova Scotia Community College, Marconi Campus, to a new home on Sydney Harbour, on Cape Breton Island. This is special project for her as the project aspirations are to reinvigorate post-industrial Downtown Sydney with the new campus, which is near where she grew up
