Come hear Rodney Moss of AIAI give a webex about P3 projects being explored in Hawaii and see how many current projects already have many of the aspects of P3. Learn what has been proposed in the last Legislative session and what’s to come in the upcoming legislative session.

He has served AIAI for three years as the chair of the Law & Legislative committee and was instrumental in drafting the original P3 legislation in Texas and Florida.

AIA and Members Continue to Advocate for Safer Schools with Federal Commission
Expert school-design architect and former AIA president Russ Davidson, FAIA, testified last week in Las Vegas before the Federal Commission on School Safety (FCSS) to advocate for school design strategies and legislation that will support safer schools in the United States.
AIA launched legislative initiatives this month that outline the Institute’s commitment for improving school design policies, which includes a bipartisan effort on Capitol Hill focusing on two main goals. The first is to make architectural and design services for schools an allowable use of funds within existing federal grants. The second would establish a federal clearinghouse of resources on school design best practices for school officials, architects and other design professionals to keep them informed.
Architect Jay Brotman, AIA,—who designed the new Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut—echoed Davidson support for AIA’s initiatives when he testified before the FCSS on August 16.
In addition to the testimony of Davidson and Brotman, other AIA member architects—with an expertise in designing safer schools—are also taking part in advocating for safer schools. Read more.
