AIA Philadelphia has a collection of study materials that members can borrow by following the procedures below.
· The lending materials are a resource for AIA Philadelphia Chapter Associate members.
· The lending period is 14 days from check-out, including weekends and holidays.
· A limit of two sets of materials can be checked out at one time.
· The member will be responsible for the cost of replacement materials if written in, damaged, or not returned within the 14-day period.
· The exact cost of replacement will be determined at the time of loss but in no circumstance will be less than $100.00.
· The material should not be photocopied; doing so is a copyright infringement.
· Please email [email protected] if you have questions.
· Materials must be picked up at AIA Philadelphia (1218 Arch Street) between the hours of 9 AM and 5 PM, Monday - Friday.
Getting involved with AIA as a recent graduate is a great way to meet people who know what it's like to go through the transition from school to practice. Volunteering with one of our committees is a wonderful way to meet potential employers and learn about what path within or adjacent to architecture is right for you.
New graduates with an accredited degree in architecture are eligible for complimentary membership for up to 18 months.
The PALM (Promoting Advocacy & Licensure through Mentorship) Program, facilitated by the AIA Pennsylvania Emerging Professionals Committee (EPiC), aims to create a dialogue between licensed architects, aspiring architects, and architecture students.
The mentorship program is intended to engage members and students at all stages of their education and careers with a focus on encouraging and supporting licensure candidates on their path to becoming an architect and highlighting the importance of advocacy in speaking up for professional development and the collective interests of the profession.

The path to licensure in the U.S. typically includes education, experience, and examination. Requirements vary by state, so use NCARB's Licensing Requirements Tool to explore what’s needed where you want to practice.
If you’re already licensed outside the U.S., visit NCARB's website to learn about additional pathways to obtaining licensure in the U.S.
You don’t have to figure it out alone—AIA provides each state with an Architect Licensing Advisor. These volunteer professionals can guide you through the process and offer personalized advice.
