|Conrad is an intern architect at LGA Architectural Partners in Toronto with degrees from McGill and Waterloo. He is leading a CMHC-sponsored research project to develop alternative solutions to the building code requirement for two staircases in small multi-unit residential buildings and has proposed a corresponding change to the National Building Code of Canada. This was a recommendation of the 2023 National Housing Accord, the 2022 Ontario Housing Affordability Task Force and the original 2010 City of Toronto Midrise Performance Standards. The work has also been presented at conferences of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, Urban Land Institute,  Building Officials Association of British Columbia, Ontario Association of Architects and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers. Conrad originally joined LGA as project manager for ‘ReHousing’ - a collaboration with the University of Toronto to visualize gentle density and zoning by-law reform for “missing middle” housing and previously worked for other architects in Toronto, Vancouver, Berlin, and Tokyo.
