Administrative history
In 1949, the architectural firm of Duffus Romans Kundzins Rounsefell Limited founded in Halifax, N.S. Since then, the partnership has become one of the major architectural firms in the Atlantic Region, with completed projects that span the spectrum of institutional, commercial, industrial and residential fields. It has executed a variety of important commissions, including the Nova Scotia Museum (1970), Izaak Walton Killam Hospital for Children (1970), Historic Properties (1974), and the Library at the University of King's College (1991), all in Halifax; Bedford Institute of Oceanography (1958, 1968, 1977); Alderney Gate Civic Centre (1990) in Dartmouth, N.S.; and the Valley Regional Hospital (1992) in Kentville, N.S.
Its projects have received a number of design awards, including an Award of Excellence for Historic Properties from the Canadian Architect Yearbook in 1972 and the first City of Halifax Design Award for the King's College Library in 1992. The firm's directors have always been active in their professional associations. Founder Allan Ferguson Duffus (b. 16 June 1915) was elected a Fellow of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada in 1956 and served as dean of the College of Fellows 1969-1972 and president 1973-1974. Director Roy W. Willwerth was elected a Fellow of the College in 1992 and to the presidency of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada in 1992-1993.
