AIA Maryland Celebrates Design Excellence at its Annual Awards Gala

Members and their clients, architectural students and professors, along with their colleagues gathered on September 15th at the Morgan State University Student Center in Baltimore to recognize the outstanding architectural achievements of AIA members and architectural students. The 17 award-winning projects were selected from a field of 107 professional entries submitted by 46 firms representing AIA members across Maryland, Virginia and DC. Forty submissions were received in the student awards programs. Four graduate and undergraduate students from Morgan State University, University of Maryland and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University were recognized for award. The jury bestowed four additional awards to Anne Arundel Community College students in the Architectural Drawing competition, now in its second year. Juror Kevin Morris, AIA, Studio Director, Holly and Smith Architects, assisted by Steve Kahle, AIA, President, presented the awards to the students, architects, building owners, and general contractors for their outstanding design.
