All are welcome to attend the AIA Phoenix Metro Academy of Architecture for Health (AAH) quarterly meeting and prefabrication workshop on November 4 at Shepley Bulfinch in Phoenix.

RSVP here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/academy-of-architecture-for-health-aah-prefabrication-workshop-tickets-2003165077671?aff=oddtdtcreator

As prefabrication becomes increasingly important, especially in healthcare design, project teams must navigate when and where it can deliver the greatest value and what it takes to implement successfully. This interactive workshop will provide a practical framework for evaluating prefabrication opportunities, beginning with industry insights on value, key considerations, and implementation challenges. Attendees will then work in small groups to explore prefabrication strategies across a range of healthcare project types, identifying opportunities, concerns, and barriers. The session will conclude with group discussion and polling to identify where prefabrication is most ready to deliver value, leaving participants with a practical, repeatable approach they can apply to their own projects.

All attendees will receive 1.0 HSW LU from AIA.

Free for all AIA Members (AIA, Associate, Allied). Non-members can attend for $15. Please register in advance here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/academy-of-architecture-for-health-aah-prefabrication-workshop-tickets-2003165077671?aff=oddtdtcreator

Join us online Wednesday, November 4 at 12 Noon, for the second session of a three-part Conversation Series focused on shaping the architectural workforce, presented by AIA Phoenix Metro AIA10. RSVP here: https://tinyurl.com/47xh9fx6

The Value of an Architect. This session will explore what makes architecture a rewarding and sustainable career, and how firms and the broader AEC industry can attract, develop, and retain talented professionals. Through perspectives from small and large firms, HR leaders, and contractors, the conversation will consider how we can look beyond compensation to examine what attracts people to architecture, what keeps them engaged, and what can make a career in the profession meaningful and sustainable.

The conversation will explore the different advantages and challenges of firm size, as well as the broader employee experience-from culture, mentorship, career growth, professional development, flexibility, benefits, licensure support, and work-life balance to opportunities to lead, create, and collaborate.

Moderated by Sarah Potzler, AIA, Senior Architect at Shepley Bulfinch, the panel will include:
✨ Brianne Houtz, Human Resources Manager at SmithGroup
✨ Diane Jacobs, FAIA, Principal at Holly Street Studio
✨ Ben Perrone, AIA, Project Director at SUNDT
Construction

This session is eligible for 1.0 LU from AIA.
