      Historique

      The Chief Architect's Branch of the Department of Public Works was established in 1945 from the former Architect's Branch, to meet the expanding role of government in the post-war era. The new name was adopted to reflect the greatly increased staff and the increased scope of public building in Ontario.

      In 1960, the Chief Architect's Branch assumed jurisdiction over the former Engineering Division, and the Sanitary Engineering Division and the Civil Engineering Division became part of the branch. Later, the number of engineering divisions within the branch multiplied and included a Mechanical Engineering Division, an Electrical Engineering Division, and a Structural Engineering Division. However, only the Civil Engineering Division and the Sanitary Engineering Division continued to file separate reports within the Departmental Annual Report.

      The Chief Architect's Branch ceased to exist during a restructuring of the Department of Public Works in 1967. It was largely replaced by the Design and Construction Branch, but some of its functions were also assumed by the Buildings Management Branch and the Water Control Branch.
