Residential Design Excellence Awards

AIA Eastern Oklahoma’s mission is to facilitate unity, fellowship, and education among members; promote the value of architects, and educate the public of the importance of good design and its contribution to the quality of life. The 2019 Awards Program fulfills this mission by honoring the best of built work by AIA Eastern Oklahoma members.
