Honoring Excellence: Gregory Chang Elevated to the AIA College of Fellows

At the 2014 National AIA Convention and Design Exposition in Chicago, the American Institute of Architects formally elevated 139 distinguished members to its prestigious College of Fellows, recognizing their exceptional contributions to the profession and to society at large. Among this elite group was one of our own—Gregory Chang, FAIA, LEED AP, cLSGB, Partner at Wilmot Sanz.

Fellowship in the AIA is one of the highest honors that can be bestowed upon an architect. Reserved for individuals who have demonstrated a legacy of design excellence, innovation, and service to the profession, fewer than 4% of AIA members ever achieve this designation. The Fellowship program recognizes those who have made a significant impact on architecture and society, embodying the values and vision of the profession at its highest level.
