Rob Chandler elevated to AIA College of Fellows

Rob Chandler has been named a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) for his significant contributions to the profession. He joins the esteemed ranks of only 147 AIA members nationwide and four internationally that have been elevated this year to the prestigious College of Fellows.

“To be recognized by the Jury of the Fellows for my work is a high honor. It is my passion to design inspiring higher education and institutional buildings that powerfully support the social interaction critical in our lives today. And I will continue to focus on projects that foster a new kind of intellectual and community learning that will impact both today’s and future generations.“

Rob has been the design force behind many of Goody Clancy’s most successful projects for higher-education and institutional clients, demonstrating how thoughtfully-designed academic buildings can foster a new kind of learning.
