AIA Elevates 2 Local AIA Philadelphia Architects to the College of Fellows

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) is elevating two members from AIA Philadelphia to its prestigious College of Fellows, AIA’s highest membership honor, for their exceptional work and contributions to architecture and society. 

The fellowship program was developed to elevate those architects who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession and made a significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level. Architects who have been elevated to fellowship can be identified by the designation FAIA after their name. New Fellows will be honored at the AIA Conference on Architecture & Design (AIA25) in Boston.

Congratulations to the new Fellows below! 🎉
