Ted Wilson serves as a Master Lecturer at Laurentian University's McEwen School of Architecture (MSoA), where he has held a full-time faculty position since 2014. He concurrently holds significant leadership roles as Senior Vice-President and Treasurer of the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA), chairing multiple committees including Audit and Finance, and representing the OAA across Northern Ontario architectural societies.
He earned his Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) from the University of Waterloo in 1985, following which he gained extensive professional experience ranging from small to large architectural firms, including serving as president of AECOM Canada Architects Ltd.
Wilson's research centers on sustainable architectural practices, with specialized expertise in energy-efficient design as a LEED Accredited Professional and Certified Passivhaus Designer. His work actively addresses material circularity through founding the Materials Exchange Depot (MXD) at MSoA for student reuse initiatives, and explores northern regional development challenges in Canada's climatically extreme environments. This focus manifests in community-scale projects like his heritage home restoration achieving 90% energy reduction.
His four Municipal World publications (2018-2023) collectively examine sustainable transformation in Northern Ontario, revealing consistent themes of community-driven urban renewal, climate-responsive infrastructure, and resource-efficient design adapted to post-industrial northern contexts.

While specific grant details are absent, Wilson's leadership in establishing the MXD and coordinating engineering for the McEwen School's construction demonstrates project development capacity. His daughter's enrollment in MSoA's M.Arch. program is noted, though no formal student advising relationships are specified.
He founded the Materials Exchange Depot (MXD) to operationalize material reuse in academic settings and maintains active OAA committee roles including Sustainable Built Environments, Governance, and Discipline committees, extending his influence through liaison positions with five regional architectural societies across Northern Ontario.
