Rolling Clock Extension

Go here to learn more about a recent announcement about the time frame for the “rolling clock extension” related to the ARE.

ARE Testing Opportunities

Prometric, the company that contracts with NCARB to administer the ARE through their testing centers, closed all of their centers early in the Pandemic. Many were reopened in late spring, but not all. This information from Prometric identifies the centers that are closed. You can find a link to the site on the AIA Oregon COVID 19 resource page. The center in Medford remains closed, but information indicates that the other sites in Oregon (Bend, Eugene, LaGrande, and two in Portland) are open. Please contact AIA Oregon at info@aiaoregon.org if you are aware of different information about the test centers.

The cooler, rainy weather has allowed the fire fighters to better contain more of the fires across the state, and the response continues to transition from life safety protection to recovery planning. The State of Oregon, impacted counties and community organizations are leading the recovery effort and have many resources available. We’ve provided links to many fire response and recovery resources on the AIA Oregon website.

Groups from AIA Eugene section and AIA Southern Oregon section have started meeting to determine how we, as active members of a professional associations and as individuals, can help the impacted communities around us recover.

Open Call for Design Annual Contributors!

Each year the AIA Eugene Section publishes the Design Annual. Following our consolidation into a single-state Chapter, this year we’re opening this publication to contributors from across Oregon.

The Design Annual serves two main purposes. It shines a light on Oregon design while also serving as a platform, in years past, to publicly announce the winners of the Eugene People's Choice Awards. For 2020 it will also include the results of other awards programs including the Oregon Architecture Awards.
