DESCRIPTION
On Thursday February 15th, 2007 the Rhode Island Chapter of the
AIA celebrated the grand opening of its new headquarters at 158
Washington Street in Providence. The event named, “Window
on Architecture” was a reception to introduce AIA members,
Corporate Affiliates and the general public to the new space and
to recognize the donors who made it all possible. Special thanks
to Roger Williams University for allowing us to occupy this great
storefront location. Also, AIA Board Members J Michael Abbott and
Greg Spiess were instrumental in designing, planning and making
it all happen.
This new space will have several functions in addition
to hosting chapter events. AIA/ri groups such as the Executive Board,
Emerging Professionals, and COTE (Committee on the Environment)
will now have a home for their meetings. AIA/ri will also be hosting
monthly Lunch and Learns which will offer AIA CEU units to AIA members.
Please check the next issue of Premises and our new AIA/ri website
for specific dates and times. The new headquarters will
also be used to display new work and future award winners in the
storefront windows. AIA/ri is very excited about this opportunity
to have a recognizable face in our community.
