AROUND THE CHAPTER
NEW EXHIBIT: 2014 Architecture Award Winners 

The 2014 AIA Columbus Architecture Award Winners are now on display at The Center for Architecture and Design! 

The annual Architecture Awards Program recognizes excellence in architectural design by local architects.

The awards are a testament to collaboration - to teams of architects, engineers, planners, landscape architects, interior designers, and contractors - who worked together to create great design.


AROUND THE AIA 

NCARB COMMITTEE PARTICIPATION
 
One of the most important ways to ensure the continued appropriate regulation of architectural practice is volunteer service on an NCARB Committee. Participation in NCARB committees provides our volunteers with a higher level of knowledge and understanding regarding the critical work that the Council conducts on behalf of its 54 Member Boards. NCARB is seeking committee service for fiscal year 2016. More Information. For A.R.E. 5.0 Frequently Asked Questions, click here.
