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.
