3 tips for staying healthy and happy in architecture.

It’s no secret that building design is a demanding profession.

Long hours, intense deadlines, and client demands can take their toll on even the most resilient of us.

Most of us have days when we feel overloaded—when dragging ourselves out of bed requires the determination of Hercules.If you feel like that often, your career may be burning you out.

Here’s the solution

Training and Education

🚨 Reserve your room before June 29th!

If you’re planning on attending the Design & Build Summer Conference and AIBD Annual Meeting in person, make sure you get your reservation in for the discounted hotel block.(If you’re not sure if you’re going to make it, I’ve got some info that will help you further on below.)

The Saint Paul Hotel is the site of the Design & Build Summer Conference and AIBD Annual Meeting.

We reserved a limited number of rooms at the AIBD exclusive rate of $159/night.

That’s $100 less than what standard rooms are going for today.

Miscellaneous

Student scholarship applications must be in by June 30

College is expensive.The average cost of tuition and fees for the 2021-2022 school year was $43,775 at private colleges, $28,238 for out-of-state students at public schools and $11,631 for state residents at public colleges.

And no one wants student loans if they can avoid it.

That’s why the AIBD College of Fellows provides the children and relatives of AIBD Professional Members an opportunity each year to receive a $1000 scholarship.

As do AIBD Student Members.

Here’s how

Have a triumphant week!
