Canadian architecture firm becomes worker co-op

A forty-one year-old firm in the City of Guelph, Canada, has transitioned to a worker co-operative business.

Arise Architects Co-operative – formerly known as J. David McAuley Architect Inc – is the oldest architectural firm in the city. Founder David McAuley has designed churches in over 200 municipalities across Ontario, as well as other projects Cornwall, Kenora, Windsor and Rock Falls.
