Nov. 29. Yesterday, friends and colleagues said Coop was an architect who will be remembered by the buildings he designed and the projects he helped usher in. “He changed the urban landscape of this city,” said lawyer Jack London, a friend of Coop’s for years. “He was a premier architect of
Winnipeg and he was a Winnipegger — a devout and confirmed Winnipegger. He always believed this was the best place in the world to live.” Morley Blankstein, Coop’s longtime business partner at the Number 10 Architectural Group, said his architectural resume is a long one. Blankstein said Coop designed many buildings including the University of Manitoba’s Fletcher Argue building, Max Bell Centre, Student Union building and Faculty of Pharmacy building. As well, he designed the new provincial Law Courts Building, the Canadian Embassy in Pakistan, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing building on Portage Avenue and had a hand in the final design of the Winnipeg Art Gallery. As president and chief executive officer of the North Portage Development Corp. from 1984 to 1990 he oversaw the project from the expropriation of land to the opening of its doors. Local architect Steve Cohlmeyer said Coop “was an important person in the world of architecture in the city.” Coop is survived by his wife Cynthia, one daughter and two sons. A legacy trust has been established at the University of Manitoba in Coop's memory for donations. ➲ kevin.rollason@freepress.mb.ca
