Comment: This is referenced far too heavily to primary sources that are not support for notability at all (e.g. business directories, the self-published websites of organizations directly affiliated with the statement, etc.), and shows very little evidence of WP:GNG-building coverage about the company in reliable sources. We're not just looking for technical verification of facts here, we're looking for evidence that the facts led other unaffiliated people to write third party content covering and analyzing the facts as journalism and/or in books.

| Founded | 1958 |
Moriyama Teshima Architects (MTA), formerly Moriyama & Teshima Architects, is a Canadian architectural practice with offices in Toronto and Ottawa, Ontario..[1] MTA has completed projects in North America and internationally, garnering a reputation for environmentally sensitive design solutions.[2] The firm's project portfolio includes museums, libraries, educational facilities, corporate and government headquarters, recreational centers, and work on restoration, renovation, and campus planning.[3]
Over its six-decade history, Moriyama Teshima Architects has been the recipient of various awards, including six Governor General's Awards for Architecture.[4] MTA is a certified minority owned supplier through the Canadian Aboriginal and Minority Supplier Council (CAMSC).[5]
History[edit]
Founded on May 1, 1958, by Raymond Moriyama with an initial capital of $392.00, the firm began in the Yorkville, Toronto neighbourhood. Its first project was a bespoke cottage in Algonquin Provincial Park. In 1961, Ted Teshima joined the firm, which led to significant projects such as the Japanese Canadian Noor Cultural Centre in 1963 and the Ontario Science Centre in 1964.[6][7]
The partnership between Moriyama and Teshima was formalized in 1970, diversifying the firm's portfolio to include educational facilities and landmark projects like the Metro Toronto Reference Library and Science North.[6][8][9] The subsequent decades saw growth and the inclusion of new partners, cementing the firm's reputation through projects like Museum London,[10] the MacDonald Stewart Art Centre,[11] and the North York Central Library[12]
Entering the 21st century, MTA undertook notable civic projects such as the Delegation of the Ismaili Imamat[13] and the Canadian War Museum, the latter earning a Governor General’s Medal in Architecture.[14]
The firm continued its growth into the 2010s with notable projects for post-secondary institutions and moved to its current location at 117 George Street in Toronto in 2011.[1] In 2023, Moriyama & Teshima Architects was renamed Moriyama Teshima Architects.
