Mark Jaffar
Mark Jaffar first joined KPMB in 1988 as a student, where he was a member of the competition-winning Kitchener City Hall team.
After returning to KPMB in 1994, he has worked extensively on many of the practice’s most notable academic and performing arts designs, including projects for Stratford Theatre, the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, Yale University, the University of Toronto, and the Young Centre for the Performing Arts. He also contributed to the creation of a live performance and teaching facility for Soulpepper Theatre Company and George Brown College in Toronto’s historic Distillery District.
Beyond his deep performing arts experience, Mark was the associate-in-charge for the adaptive reuse and conversion of the former Frick Chemistry Building at Princeton University into the Julis Romo Rabinowitz Building and Louis A. Simpson International Building. He also served as senior associate for the Bay Adelaide Centre North Tower in Toronto; the 700 University Avenue Redevelopment, also in Toronto; and Zibi, an office development in Ottawa.
He is currently part of the team behind the new Dramatic Arts Building at Yale University.
