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\nStudents: FREE \nRegister Here>>\n*Registration closes on May 8. \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:Resiliency Speaker Series 2026
DESCRIPTION:Resiliency is the ability to quickly recover from disruption. But\, how quickly can our buildings and systems bounce back from natural or man-made disasters? Can our infrastructure rapidly adapt to changing environmental\, social\, and economic conditions? \nPlease join AIA Virginia on Zoom for an exploration of resiliency in the built environment and discover why investing in resilient solutions can help protect us all. \nFirst in our series is: Alternative Onsite Wastewater Management for Improved Coastal Resiliency \nTriangle Environmental\, now part of LIXIL\, was awarded funding from Growth & Opportunity (GO) Virginia\, the Middle Peninsula Planning District Commission\, and Virginia Sea Grant through a challenge administered by RISE Resilience Solutions to pilot two innovative onsite wastewater treatment systems in rural coastal Virginia. Another benefit of this program was pairing each awardee with an academic partner\, a role fulfilled by Jori Erdman\, Associate Director of the School of Art\, Design\, and Art History\, and Patrice Ludwig\, Interim Assistant Vice President for Research & Innovation. Through this program\, LIXIL demonstrated a solution for many of today’s failing onsite wastewater systems while envisaging the resilient home of the future. \nEarn 1 AIA LU (submitted for approval) \nAIA Member – $15\nNon-member – $20\nStudents – FREE \nRegister Here>> \n  \nUpcoming: \nJune 9: 12:00-1:00pm – VMDO – Topic TBD\nJuly 7: 12:00-1:00pm – TBD\nAugust 4: 12:00-1:00pm – TBD

SUMMARY:VA COTE + USGBC Building Tour: The Edgar Shannon Library
DESCRIPTION:(Photo Credits: Tim Hursley) \nJoin AIAVA COTE and USGBC for our 2026 building tour series! We wish to celebrate exciting and innovative sustainable building design around the Commonwealth. Each month we will focus on a project in one of the five AIA Virginia component areas that has achieved LEED or other sustainable certification. Tours will provide AIA and USGC CEU’s for participants. \nJoin us on June 17 to tour the LEED-Gold renovation of Shannon library. The renovation brought the building up to current standards of performance\, safety\, accessibility and service. It was essential to restore the library to the position it enjoyed when it first opened in 1938 — a contemporary library with modern amenities suited to the needs of its users. Scope includes a new 130\,000-square-foot addition and renovation of 100\,000 square feet of the historic building\, encompassing open shelving for better access to the extensive holdings\, study areas\, reading rooms\, staff work areas and spaces for scholarly research and preservation of books. The building offers a better layout and more natural light\, including in two new study courts\, for members of the University community as they study\, research\, and socialize. Historic fixtures\, furniture and bookshelves were refinished and restored\, with the lighting converted to LED. 75\,000 gallon cisterns under Nameless field retain rainwater runoff\, and over 120 tons of metal shelving was recycled. Aligning with UVA standards\, there is no irrigation on-site. The project demonstrated over 40% energy cost savings from the baseline and prioritized low-emitting products and those with transparency in manufacturing and content. It is now ready to serve the University community for another century.\n \n1 AIA LU | HSW \n1 GBCI LEED Specific BD+C and LEED Green Associate CE \nAIA Member: $15\nUSGBC Member: $15\nNon-Member: $30\nStudents: FREE \nRegister Here>>\n*Registration closes at 12:00pm on 6/16 \n
