“The AIA Oklahoma Design Excellence Awards program celebrates the best in architecture and urban design. We are excited to showcase this exceptional architecture and design from our Oklahoma architects,” said Lanny McIntosh, AIA, 2019 AIA Oklahoma President. 

The jury for the 2019 Design Awards met in Boise, Idaho to select this year’s winners. The jury was made up of four award winning, Boise architects: Greg Ugrin, AIA of Slichter Ugrin Architecture, Alexis Townsend, AIA of Lombard Conrad, Scott Yribar, AIA of VY Architecture and Christopher Dwyer, AIA of CTA Architects and Planners.
