American Institute Of Arch

AIA Connecticut serves the architectural profession, encourages design excellence, and works to improve society through a concern for the quality of the built and natural environments. Members commit themselves to the highest standards of practice and code of ethics that addresses responsibilities to the public, clients, the building industry, and the art and science of architecture. Activities of the chapter include tours of buildings, continuing education programs, presentations by renowned architects, a speakers' bureau on architectural topics, events with other associations in the design, construction, and historic preservation fields, communication with the State Legislature and agencies, social and networking events for those in the design and construction profession, and an annual convention and design exposition.

Architects licensed and practicing in Connecticut may submit design projects completed in the past five years. AIA membership is not required. Clients need to occupy the premises as a place of business. Development or speculative and institutional, educational, and residential projects will not be considered. For its 180,000-sf headquarters relocation, FactSet Research Systems aspired to create a healthy, productive work environment that stimulates creative thinking, collaboration, and attracts talent, while promoting its global identity.
