Michael Banman
Senior Principal, Design Director, North America
An award-winning architect, Michael is known for his ability to see beyond the usual. In his role, he leads the design strategy and inspiration for a wide range of building types across the practice including institutional, commercial, retail, healthcare, hospitality, academic, and cultural. He is a champion for evidence-based, people-centered design that meets the evolving needs of both our clients and the communities we serve.
Michael and his team have designed spaces for the Manitoba Museum and Manitoba Centennial Centre, University of Manitoba, RRC Polytech, the First Nations University of Canada, and the City of Winnipeg. His integrated team of architects, engineers, and sustainability specialists recently completed the all-mass timber FortWhyte Alive’s Buffalo Crossing. Aiming to be Manitoba’s most sustainable building, it has achieved the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) Zero Carbon Building Design Standard and is targeting Passive House Certification.
When he’s not designing spaces, Michael teaches professional practice at the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Architecture and has been a visiting critic and lecturer at the Carleton University, University of Manitoba, Texas Tech University, University of Calgary, University of British Columbia, and British Columbia Institute of Technology.
