Clementine Chang

Senior Associate, OAA, LEED AP

Clementine Chang has worked on many of KPMB’s cultural projects since joining the firm in 2006. Her portfolio includes the Art Gallery of Hamilton and the celebrated Royal Conservatory TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning, a renowned cultural centre that has twice received the Canadian Architect Award of Excellence. 

Clementine offers a diversity of experience in developer, public sector, and academic projects. Throughout her time at KPMB, she has worked on projects of varying scales and typologies, such as the TIFF Lightbox, the Munk School of Global Affairs at the University of Toronto, the Young Centre for the Performing Arts, and the Julis Romo Rabinowitz Building & Louis A. Simpson International Building at Princeton University. 

She was a key contributor to the Adams Center for Musical Arts, which gave students, faculty, and staff at the Yale School of Music a warm, welcoming space to make music together. Clementine served as project architect for the Massey Hall Revitalization Project, which she considers a career highlight for how it combined her heritage architecture expertise and her love for the performing arts. 

Clementine was also the project architect leading the design for two new theatres as part of the expansion and modernization of Calgary’s Werklund Centre (formerly Arts Commons), the largest performing arts centre in Western Canada.  

She is currently the senior associate-in-charge for the new Dramatic Arts Building at Yale University, which will house a 400-seat theatre for the Yale Repertory and a studio theatre. 

Clementine has also helped execute feasibility studies for Canadian Stage and serves on the Board of Governors for Branksome Hall. A classically trained pianist, she is passionate about the arts and channels her love of music into designing projects for the performing arts.
