ICHRA: Control Your Healthcare Spend, Once and For All
Ever increasing and often erratic health insurance renewals can blow up even the most well-planned annual employer budget. Adopting an ICHRA model can literally fix the healthcare expense line with a predictable number that won’t change, regardless of your claims experience.
Secret be told, the vast majority of companies who initiated an ICHRA in 2020, renewed their plan at the same employer cost in 2021 (for real!). That’s why the Departments of Labor, Treasury and Health & Human Services predict that by the end of 2025, 800,000 organizations will offer an ICHRA to their employees, insuring over 11,000,000 people.
Join us for a 60-minute webinar, March 24, 2021 at 10:00 AM ET to learn what the early adopters already know, that employers really can control their healthcare costs!

Advocacy Begins with You: A Series for Architects
AIA Ohio’s mission is to advocate for the profession of architecture. This six-part series empowers members to support our mission by exploring ways you can become a stronger leader and advocate for the profession.

All sessions are free to attend for AIA Ohio members.
Session: Ohio Government 101
Date: March 17
Time: 12:00-1:30 p.m. ET
How does an idea become a law in Ohio (or not)? Passing legislation is something you might think you know all about, but the process is more intricate than most people realize. This interactive session will walk you through the process of identifying the need for legislation, developing the idea into a bill, forming coalitions, tracking the bill’s progress through the legislative process, and passing the bill into law. As an added bonus, Bob Loversidge, FAIA, of Schooley Caldwell will be hosting a virtual tour of the Ohio Statehouse, providing you with a roadmap to where legislation happens while highlighting some of the many historic features of the building.

Nationwide Fellows/EP Mentorship Program Announcement
The past year has brought increased awareness and activism for social, political, and environmental change that has stretched and challenged the architecture we do, to do more. Having open and honest conversations on these topics is how we will all grow together. Mentorship is a critical component to our profession in helping foster these conversations, and to cultivate the next generation of Architects. And we need to mentor now, more than ever, as we navigate the aftermath of this pandemic and civil unrest.
To respond to this need, several young architects in the AIA are partnering with the College of Fellows to develop “Nexus”, a national mentorship program, built as a virtual platform, in an effort to build new connections across our geographically dispersed membership. The program aims to create meaningful dialogue around work culture, professional knowledge, leadership strategies, and society at large, between one generation and another.
Nexus will be open for applications/participants in the coming quarter, so keep your eyes open for a follow-up announcement- but feel free to let us know now if you are interested in being notified when the program is beginning! Email [email protected] or [email protected].

Cities Voted For Green Building Codes. Now Developers Want To End Voting.
Kim Havey had a problem. Minneapolis was generating more and more of its electricity from renewables, dropping climate-warming pollution from power to record lows. But emissions from natural gas, which is used to heat buildings and stovetops, were climbing ― overtaking power plants as the city’s top source of carbon pollution in 2017.
Nearly three-quarters of Minneapolis’ emissions came from buildings, and the city was undergoing a construction boom to accommodate a population growing faster than at any point since the 1950s. So Havey, the city’s sustainability director, helped craft new rules mandating more efficient standards for all those new buildings.

Biden Revokes a Trump Order Seeking ‘Classical’ Civic Architecture
Another classical age of sorts has come to an end — a very short-lived one.
An executive order that former President Donald J. Trump issued in the waning days of his administration, which sought to make classical architecture the default style for new federal buildings, was revoked this week by President Biden as the White House continues its sweeping rollback of the previous administration’s policies.

Cities Are Sinking Under the Weight of Urban Development
In late 2020, engineers began working on a $100 million project to stop San Francisco’s Millennium Tower from tilting and sinking further into the ground. Tenants of the beleaguered luxury condo had learned four years earlier that the 58-story high-rise had sunk some 16 inches in over a decade. But the tower’s predicament is only part of a larger problem, and not just for the Bay Area: Cities around the world are sinking under the weight of their own urban development — at the same time that sea levels are rising.

The future of Boston restaurant design, according to local architects
Before the pandemic, you might have found the interior of your favorite local eatery packed with tables and chairs, paper menus stacked by a host stand, and not a patio table in sight. Now, one section of a dining room might be cordoned off for takeout orders, while those who are dining in scroll through a menu on their phones. Outside, heat lamps glow by bistro tables on narrow, snowy sidewalks.

This reimagined school takes a page from corporate America
When the Ransom Everglades School set out to augment its Miami high school campus with a new building focused on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, its educators saw an opportunity. They wanted to rethink how a physical space at the school could reflect the kind of future-focused learning that would happen there.
“We wanted something that wasn’t traditional,” says Penny Townsend, head of the school. “I wanted every space to be a learning space, that in every corner of the building something was going on.”
