SUMMARY:Annual 2026 Historic Resources Committee Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Virginia’s annual Historic Resources Committee (HRC) retreat happening in Scottsville. The half-day event will start off with a welcome by Scottsville Town Councilor Molly Angevine and then an introduction about Scottsville’s long history and a tour by Lincoln Lewis. Currently\, Lincoln is assisting the Town of Scottsville’s Planning Commission to update their Comprehensive Plan. He is also the University of Virginia’s Climate Equity Doctoral Fellow focusing on how communities – especially those with historic cultural assets – plan for the future amidst dynamic environmental change. Lincoln is an AIA International Associate Member licensed in Singapore and was recently awarded the Larson Award from the American Planning Association as Virginia’s distinguished professional planner for his work with Scottsville. \nStops on the tour will include significant buildings along Valley and Main street\, the Thacker Levee along the James River\, and Canal Basin Square. A lunch stop during the tour will be at Tavern on the James. An overview will be given about the town’s architecture and planning history and current comprehensive planning processes. Also\, reflections will be shared about how the town’s historic assets have been considered in the planning process\, such as the Kanawha Canal system or WWII-era Tire Cord Plant. \nAfter the tour\, the HRC will have a workshop to discuss the committee’s previous year of activities and chart the way forward for this year. All are welcome to attend and also join the HRC’s monthly online meetings\, tours\, and events. \nAbout Scottsville \nScottsville\, Virginia was first settled in 1744 along the historic horseshoe bend of the James River. Scotts Landing served as the first county seat for an expansive Albemarle County that gradually became parts of five counties. Over time\, several presidents of the United States have frequented Scottsville and the region’s rural roads. At the turn of the 18th century\, Scottsville became an important stop on the Kanawha Canal and the town was incorporated in 1818. The town still hosts an important stop on the annual James River Batteau Festival. \nHowever\, the benefits of the river have also caused a great deal of hardship for the town\, including multiple historic floods devastating the architecture of downtown. The Thacker Levee was constructed in the 1980s to protect the town. In 1994\, the town’s boundary was significantly expanded beyond its early footprint in the river lowlands to incorporate upland farms\, pastures and forests. This expansion has presented several opportunities for the town\, while also raising important long-term planning challenges. Today\, Scottsville uniquely sits in both Albemarle and Fluvanna counties\, and is the only incorporated town in both of those counties. The town also serves as an important rural hub for Buckingham County. A great deal of Federalist Architecture is retained in Scottsville’s Historic District and important homes also contribute to the Southern Albemarle Rural Historic District. Recently\, the Tire Cord Plant was added as a historic district and has been the topic of intense discussions regarding the site’s prospective adaptive reuse. \nAgenda for the Day: \n11:00am Gather at Victory Hall town offices; welcome by Scottsville Town\nCouncilor Molly Angevine; presentation about the town by Lincoln Lewis \n11:30am Begin walking tour along Main Street to the Thacker Levee along the James River and Canal Basin Square \n12:00pm Lunch at Tavern on the James (www.facebook.com/TavernOnTheJames/) \n1:10pm Tour continues\n1:30pm Workshop\n2:30pm Coffee break\n4:00pm End of meeting \nPlease sign up here if you’d like to attend the retreat.  Thanks!

SUMMARY:Procrastinator's Series: Embodied Carbon with The Beauty of Block
DESCRIPTION:Join AIAVA for our Procrastinator series – a series of Lunch and Learn sessions for those of us who couldn’t get around to it before now. These sessions are for you if you happen to be running behind on your learning units for the year or waiting till the last minute\, because we get it. \n\nWe hope you’ll join us! \n\n1 AIA LU | HSW \nREGISTER \nDescription:\nThis is the first course in our CMU embodied carbon series\, focusing on how concrete masonry units (CMU) differ from traditional wet-cast concrete in terms of carbon impact. We will set the stage for the concrete and carbon sequestration discussion by looking at the larger geologic carbon cycle and greenhouse gas emissions; and how it all relates to climate change. We will then look at the concrete carbon cycle and recent CMHA sequestration research and testing which demonstrates the accelerated sequestration rates substantially reducing the overall embodied carbon of dry-cast CMU construction. \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Explore how concrete masonry construction offers interconnected sustainability strategies.\n2. Explore the relevant similarities and differences between dry-cast concrete masonry units (CMU) and wet-cast concrete. These differences are why CMU assemblies have lower embodied carbon and increased carbon sequestration rates.\n3. Define terms that describe how concrete masonry construction fits into the climate change conversation and explain why concrete sequesters carbon dioxide.\n4. Review sequestration research conducted by the Concrete Masonry and Hardscapes Association (CMHA) that separates CMU from other types of concrete when evaluating embodied carbon

SUMMARY:Historic Resources Committee Trivia Mixer
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Virginia’s Historic Resources Committee for our annual Virtual Trivia Mixer! \nMix up a cocktail (or mocktail) and join us for a night of trivia and fun. Connect with the preservation community in Virginia and test your knowledge of the built environment. \nRegister online. \nBYO Cocktail/Mocktail\nGrumpy Old Man\nThe “Grumpy Old Man” is a simple\, modern bourbon cocktail (bourbon\, ginger ale\, and lime juice). The name “Grumpy Old Man” appears to be a modern\, playful label that alludes to the drink’s bold\, unapologetic flavor profile and its simple\, old-school ingredients\, rather than complex or trendy mixers. The name is meant to be endearing and a little cheeky\, suggesting a simple drink for someone who knows what they like and is perhaps “grumpy” about modern fads. The drink’s history is tied to its simplicity (just bourbon\, ginger ale\, and lime). It is a twist on a Moscow Mule (which uses vodka) or a Kentucky Mule (which uses bourbon)\, providing a familiar but distinct flavor: \nAn Old Fashioned glass\nIce\nBurbon\nLime Juice\nLime Wedge\nGinger Ale \nCranberry-Ginger Fizz Mocktail \n2 oz. sweetened cranberry juice\n2 oz. ginger beer\n2 oz. sparkling cider\, such as Martinelli’s\nLime slice\, for garnish

SUMMARY:Historic Tour: Tangier Island History and Vernacular Architecture Tour
DESCRIPTION:Visit the island of Tangier\, Virginia with AIA Virginia’s Historic Resources Committee to learn about the community’s long history and insights about its built environment. Lincoln Lewis\, Climate Equity Doctoral Fellow with the University of Virginia’s Equity Center where he works on the Coastlines and People (CoPe) project for Virginia’s Eastern Shore\, will be leading the tour.  As part of HALS\, he documented the Tangier Island Watermen Working Landscape. \nTangier is a unique island community that is experiencing dynamic environmental change in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay. Storms\, erosion\, and subsidence have reduced the low-lying island’s area by more than two-thirds since 1850. The community of about 300 residents have found ways to prosper and have adapted their own form of vernacular architecture to suit the environment. Participants of the day trip will ride a round-trip ferry to the island from either Reedville (Virginia)\, Onancock (Virginia)\, or Crisfield (Maryland). While coming into Mail Boat Harbor participants will see the vernacular crab houses and then have an opportunity to eat lunch at a local restaurant. A 30-minute golf cart tour will provide an overview of the island and participants will see the historic Swain Memorial Methodist Church along with other vernacular buildings. Free time will be available for participants to visit the Tangier Island Museum and Interpretive Cultural Center along with other sites. \n1.5 AIA LU | HSW \nAIA Member: $15\nNon-Member: $30 \nRegister Here>>\n*Registration closes on October 1. \nSchedule:\n10:00 – Depart from Ferries (Reedville\, VA\, Onancock\, VA)\n11:30 – Arrive at Tangier’s Thomas main dock\n11:35 – 12:05pm Golfcart Tour (30-minute)\n12:10 – 1:10 Lunch (1-hour)\n1:10-1:30 Walk together to Swain Memorial Methodist Church\, continue walking together to the museum (meet the Mayor)\n1:30-2:15 Free time (talk more with Mayor\, go into museum [$3 entry]\, visit gift shops\, or wander around; museum is about 7 minutes walk back to docks)\n2:15 – Depart Tangier for Reedville\n(departure is 3:30 for Onancock\, VA) \nCosts\n \n\nAIA Virginia tour fee of $15 (AIA member) or $30 (non-member)\nFerry roundtrip $35 (each person needs to confirm and pay the ferry company themselves depending on which port they are traveling from)\nGolf cart 30-minute tour $10 (each person pays the tour provider individually\, CASH is preferred)\nLunch on your own at Lorraine’s Seafood Restaurant\n\nFerry Links\n(MAKE YOUR RESERVATION IN ADVANCED.

SUMMARY:Building Reuse and Decarbonization Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:The AIA VA HRC and COTE are pleased to announce the “Building Reuse and Decarbonization” webinar series.  This four-part series\, will showcase the overlaps between the historic preservation and sustainability that help reduce our carbon footprint. \nThe building industry is one of the largest producers of the carbon emissions. By adapting existing buildings to support contemporary needs\, rather than demolishing and building new\, we can avoid emitting thousands of tons of carbon into the atmosphere.  With the growing shift toward renovation over new construction\, this webinar series will show how the renewal of existing buildings as high-performance facilities creates a sustainable and resilient world. The series brings together leading experts in architecture\, interior design\, sustainability\, and electrical engineering. \nSchedule: \n6/18 from 12:00-1:30pm: Old Buildings are the Future – Sara Langmead\, AIA\, PE\, LEED AP\, Associate\, Senior Architect\, Quinn Evans – 1.5 AIA LU \nExplore the transformative potential of building reuse as a powerful tool for climate action and social impact. By prioritizing the reuse and preservation of existing structures\, we can significantly reduce embodied carbon while also reinforcing the unique identity of our communities. As architectural practice evolves\, the focus will increasingly shift toward adapting existing buildings to meet the changing needs of society\, offering a more sustainable and thoughtful approach to urban development. This presentation delves into four compelling case studies of adaptive reuse: Marie Reed Elementary in Washington\, DC; the American Brewery in Baltimore; Open Works Maker Space in Baltimore; and Michigan Central Station in Detroit. These projects exemplify how the thoughtful transformation of existing buildings can lead to measurable sustainability outcomes\, foster equity and inclusion\, and honor our shared history. Attendees will gain insights into effective strategies\, practical outcomes\, and valuable lessons learned from these projects\, showcasing the vital role of adaptive reuse in shaping a more sustainable and resilient future. \n6/25 from 12:00-1:30pm: Holistic Regenerative Materials & Bio-Based Innovations: Advancing Historic Resources and Climate Resilience with mindful MATERIALS – Linda Sorrento\, FASID\, LEED Fellow\, IIDA\, COO\, Emerita – Mindful Materials – 1.5 AIA LU | HSW \nThe time has come for “more walk and less talk” in the creation\, specification\, and use of building materials that protect\, restore\, and enhance the health of humans and ecosystems. This presentation will explore how mindful MATERIALS’ Common Material Framework (CMF) is evolving to meet the pressing need for decarbonization in building reuse and historic preservation. Tracing its development from the AIA Materials Pledge to alignment with industry reporting standards\, we’ll examine how this framework supports sustainable material choices and decarbonization goals. The session will also highlight the rising movement of bio-based materials\, showing how these innovations contribute to both the preservation of historic resources and the advancement of climate resilience. Join us to discover how regenerative materials can foster both sustainable reuse of historic buildings and a more resilient\, low-carbon future. \n\n7/9 from 12:00-1:30pm: Electrification/Decarbonization of Historic Properties – Developing Carbon Master Plan\, Effective Implementation Strategies\, and Management of Operational Carbon –  Hallah Abodaff\, PE\, LEED AP\, Managing Principal at Loring’s Washington\, DC office – 1.5 AIA LU \nThis presentation will discuss building electrification as a key component of a wholistic decarbonization strategy that should rely on a carbon master plan.  The initial step in this master plan is a carbon audit of building energy sources and energy end-uses to establish a carbon benchmark.  The masterplan should examine various system options with emphasis on appropriate and historically sensitive solutions.  The presentation will discuss examples of electrification strategies such as traditional heat pumps\, modular chiller/heaters\, heat rejection chillers\, geothermal exchange systems or wastewater exchange systems.  System selection may also consider coupling the electrified system with thermal or electric storage.  The presentation will highlight the Michigan State Capitol Infrastructure Upgrades as an example of an electrification solution for a National Historic Landmark that relies on a geothermal exchange system. \n7/23 from 12:00-1:30pm: Carbon Counts: Quantifying the Value of Existing Building Stewardship – Denise Gravelle\, AIA\, LEED AP\, Architect\, Sustainability Specialist\, Quinn Evans – 1.5 AIA LU | HSW \nOften the value of existing buildings is in objective measures\, including sense of place and history as well as community connection. This presentation will illustrate how existing building stewardship is powerful beyond these measures\, as it is a powerful force for climate action by addressing carbon in existing buildings. It will also illustrate how thoughtful design and an intentional approach focused on resilient regeneration can be applied successfully and achieve renewed purpose for the fabric of our communities\, implemented in a manner that considers and aims for equity for all. Explore the tools available and approaches being used to evaluate challenges and opportunities\, weigh cost-benefits to practices and interventions\, and measure levels of success. \nAIA Member – $15 (for the series)\nNon-member – $20 (for the series)\nStudents – FREE (for the series) \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Historic Tour: Fox Elementary School Construction Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join the AIA Virginia Historic Resources Committee for a construction tour of Fox Elementary School in Richmond\, VA. \nBuilt in 1910\, with classic grand schoolhouse looks and located in the geographic center of the Fan district of Richmond\, the building embodies so much of what architects hope for when they design buildings for future communities. The fire started in the attic\, but no specific cause was determined. Fortunately fire damage was limited to the roof and upper floor and the majority of the building structure remained sound. But water damage from fire-fighting efforts and subsequent weather created significant damage to building finishes and systems. In August of 2022\, Quinn Evans was hired as the design and preservation architect to carry out the design of the reconstruction of Fox Elementary School. This tour will review the reconstruction and changes that have resulted after three years of design and construction. \nAIA Member: $15\nNon-Member: $30 \n1 AIA LU | HSW \nRegister Here>> \nRegistration deadline is Friday\, May 16 at 4:00 p.m.
