AIA New Jersey Service Awards

Honoring Excellence in Leadership, Advocacy, and Service in Architecture.

The AIA New Jersey Service Awards recognize outstanding achievements and contributions that have provided distinguished service to the profession and to the Society.

These prestigious awards celebrate individuals and organizations that demonstrate exceptional leadership, advocacy, and service, advancing the mission and values of the American Institute of Architects in New Jersey.

Each year, AIA New Jersey honors architects, emerging professionals, educators, and allied professionals who have made significant impacts on issues of public awareness of the built environment, service to the community and other non-design aspects of Architecture. The awards highlight those who shape the future of architecture, foster innovation, and strengthen the architectural community.

Through these recognitions, AIA New Jersey continues to showcase the exemplary efforts of its members and industry leaders, inspiring the next generation of architects and advocates.
