The AIA Global Campus for Architecture & Design is currently undergoing a major renovation that will set a new benchmark for zero carbon. As one of the first fully decarbonized renovations in the U.S., the full renovated building and event spaces will be fully electric, carbon neutral, and run entirely on certified green power. Led by San Francisco-based architecture firm EHDD, with Hood Design Studio, Hartman-Cox Architects, and Point Energy Innovations as consultants, and Turner Construction overseeing construction management, the renovation will transform AIA headquarters into a renewed place of high performance and high impact.
