History
William Walter Butchart, born in England in 1906, but educated in Vulcan, Alberta, was appointed Architect and Superintendent of Plant by the Edmonton Public School Board in November 1946. Butchart attended the Institute of Technology and Art in Calgary, worked with F.H. MacDonald, and then with the Architectural Branch, Alberta Department of Public Works, before assuming that position, and had applied for membership in the AAA in February 1944 and May 1945. Butchart produced many standard school plans and special school plans for the Alberta Department of Education, and during the Second World War, designed plans such as that for the Infirmary at the Red Deer Training School. He left an extensive imprint on the public school system during a period of rapid suburban growth during the fifteen years following the Second World War. W.W. Butchart was responsible for over forty Edmonton Public Schools.
