Change has come to the UK’s leading architectural association as The Architects’ Journal is reporting that RIBA’s current Director of Inclusion & Diversity Marsha Ramroop is departing from the organization after just 13 months on the job.

The institution is going through an administrative restructuring after reporting an £8 million ($10.8 million) budget deficit late last year. Ramroop’s budget had reportedly been significantly impacted by the cost-saving efforts, which so far includes a round of layoffs and the sale of its 78 Portland Place office.

The former BBC journalist’s year-plus tenure has seen the development of initiatives like RIBA communities, its new Inclusion Charter, the institution of official guidance for employees on a host of sensitive issues like pronoun usage, and the creation of a live radio channel that broadcast EDI-related content as part of RIBA’s second annual festival last November.

Ramroop was brought in to the organization in the wake of several controversies, including a notable 2020 episode in which her predecessor wrote the racially-charged “All Lives Matter” slogan in response to a LinkedIn post vocalizing support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

RIBA’s chief executive Alan Vallance thanked Ramroop for overseeing “a great number of impactful and engaging initiatives” and said the organization will now begin its search for a replacement in order to maintain the progress and momentum started by Ramroop during her brief time. Archinect will share further updates as they become available.
