      History

      The School Planning and Building Research Section was established in 1967, replacing and continuing the functions of the Division of School Planning and Building Research of the Ontario Department of Education. In 1971, the functions relating to colleges were assumed by the Capital Support Branch of the newly created Department of Colleges and Universities. As a result of the Ministry of Education reorganization in 1972, the School Planning and Building Research Section and the School Plant Approvals Section disappeared as separate entities, although their functions were continued within the Architectural Services Section of the School Business and Finance Branch.

          Canadiana Name Authorities states that this agency disappeared in 1968, absorbed into the Architectural Services section of the School Business Adminisrtation Branch. This is incorrect, as this occurred in 1972.
