Nicholas Garrison Elevated to the AIA College of Fellows

Nicholas Garrison's innovative architecture is a collaboration among the built, the natural, and human experience. Eschewing conventions of style and typology, his work is elegant and timeless, superbly designed and humanistic in its intent.

We are thrilled to announce that Partner and Design Director Nicholas Garrison has been elevated to the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

Nicholas is an award-winning architect with more than three decades of experience working with colleges, universities, and private secondary schools around the world—from Canada to Kenya, India to the Netherlands, and across the Middle East. Two forces—a search for authenticity, and a building's relationship to its landscape—have shaped his designs over the course of his career.

Current projects under his design direction include the new Statue of Liberty Museum (opening in May 2019); the renovation of an historic church into the new Children's Museum of Manhattan; Rutgers School of Business Camden; and the Haven Square Urban Landscape Plan for Columbia University Medical Center.

The AIA's Fellowship program was developed to elevate those architects who have made a significant contribution to architecture and society and who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession. Election to fellowship recognizes the achievements of architects as individuals, and their significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level.

The Jury of Fellows for the American Institute of Architects elevated 115 AIA members to its prestigious College of Fellows. The new Fellows will be honored at a ceremony on June 7th at the AIA Conference on Architecture 2019 in Las Vegas.
