Dr. Nicholas
Lynch

Associate Professor

Nick is an Associate Professor in Memorial University's geography department and an urban cultural geographer interested in the built environment. 

​

His research focuses on three key directions: adaptive reuse,  the Circular Economy and coastal heritage infrastructure. The first of these approaches centres on the After Church Atlas, a co-operative project with Dr. Barry Stephenson (MUN Religious Studies), that explores the closure and redevelopment of places of worship. 

​

Nick's second project concerns the development and implementation of the Circular Economy, a global sustainability agenda, and its implication with the construction, renovation and demolition sectors (CR&D) and 'makercultures' in Canada. Nick has begun working on a multidisciplinary project, called 'Making it in the Circular Economy', funded through the SSHRC Imagining Canada's Future grant.

​

Nick's third project is connected to Ocean Frontier Institute (OFI) research dealing with the transformation of heritage coastal lighthouses in Atlantic Canada. 

​

Want to inquire about graduate studies? Nick is open to supervising research on adaptive reuse, urban sustainability, and the circular economy.
