Don Jackson and Nic Ypes started the firm of Jackson Ypes & Associates in 1954. From the beginning, the specialty of the Firm was designing institutions. A regular part of the volume of work was housing for seniors, elementary and high schools, and community centres. In 1980, Don Jackson retired and Marilyn Ypes became a Partner with her father, Nic Ypes.
The emphasis on seniors' design then increased to include retirement, long-term care and independent seniors living. Marilyn's academic background in designing for seniors and the CMHC scholarship she received gave the Firm momentum to expand into this area. A steady representation of schools and community centres was also maintained over the years.
