Raymond Moriyama, CC, O.Ont (born October 11, 1929) is a Japanese-Canadian architect. He has designed several buildings at Brock University from the 1970s through the latest campus expansion and is the University's former chancellor.
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Raymond Moriyama was confined to a internment camp as a child, an experience which he cited as influential in his later career.[1] He went to Upper Canada College. Morimaya received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Toronto in 1954, and a Master of Architecture degree in civic and town planning from McGill University in 1957.
In 1985, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and promoted to Companion in 2008. He was also awarded the Order of Ontario. In 2009, he was one of nine laureates to receive a Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts.
