Welcome Students

What AIA Can Do For You
As a student you spend many years learning and experimenting with various aspects of architecture and design. Transitioning into the profession is a learning experience in itself and AIA Akron is your key resource in making this transition. AIA Akron will help you take the steps towards licensure by assisting with your NCARB Record, providing up to date information on IDP and ARE, and lending ARE study material through the ARE Library. As such, AIA Akron highly encourages your involvment in AIAS while in school and you continued support as an Associate AIA Member upon graduation. If you would like more information please contact us or your AIAS President.

Being an Associate Member

“… the resources (Kaplan ARE Study Guides) are extremely helpful, and were a major consideration when making the decision to become a member. Joining the AIA for career development, continuing education, and professional networking are all also reasons I joined, but the AIA’s recent investment in early career education and guidance, (IDP and ARE Examination), was the main reason for joining at the stage in my career.”
-Ben Rantilla, Assoc. AIA (Hasenstab Architects, Akron Ohio)

Upcoming Events
AIA Akron keeps an up to date schedule of events on the AIA Akron Calendar. Spring Semester 2010 we will be holding an IDP workshop in February and an Existing Building Site Visit in April. If you are interested in attending an AIA chapter meeting please contact AIA Akron by the RSVP date indicated on the Calendar.
