Biographical history

The Building and Grounds Committee was originally known as the Advisers on Buildings and Grounds which first met in 1947. It advised Council on matters relating to the buildings and grounds of the University campus. Its membership included the Vice-Chancellor, the Principal of the School of General Studies, Council and non-Council members. It appears that the Committee did not meet between 7 April 1989 and 20 March 1992 when the minutes indicate that the Committee has been re-established.
