Abstract:

Motivated by the Tower’s national and local historical relevance, as well as its current need for a larger, more modernized space, AIA renovated its facility. As open to this profile was a brief history of the century old Tower. What followed was a before-after style presentation of the renovation project. This presentation showcased the extensive interior improvements of the Entry/Reception, Executive Director’s Office, Board Room, Office, and Library.
