CONFERENCE AND EXPO INFORMATION

The 2025 AIA Central Pennsylvania Conference, Expo and Design Awards was held on September 18, 2025 in Lancaster, PA at the Armstrong Campus in celebration of Armstrong’s 75th Anniversary! We had amazing tours around the Armstrong Campus followed by a delicious happy hour with our incredible sponsors. Good conversations were had with highly knowledgable produce specification experts that would be an asset to any project. This was followed by two special award presentations.

Central Pennsylvania Architects Foundation Scholarship Recipients are Dakota Davis, Madeline Cohen, and Abby Cole. The three scholarships plus the additional matching funds from AIA National allowed us to award a total of $3,755.00 this year!
