  AAH AIA National Healthcare Awards Submissions Due May 19
The AIA Academy of Architecture for Health is proud to announce the initiation of the AIA National Healthcare Design Awards program. The program will showcase the best of health-care building design and health-care design-oriented research. Projects should exhibit conceptual strength and solve aesthetic, civic, urban, and social concerns as well as the requisite functional and sustainability concerns of a hospital. The AIA/AAH will recognize the firms for their contribution to the health-care environment. (There presently are only two annual AIA/AAH-endorsed health-care awards programs: the new AIA National Healthcare Design Awards and the longstanding Vista Awards, a joint effort with AHA/ASH). For more information, visit the AAH Web site.
