Joe Garcia AIA stands next to the banner for this years Scholarship Golf Tournament held on April 17th at the Haile Plantation Golf and Country Club in Gainesville. This year celebrates the 25th anniversary of AIA Gainesville chapter raising money for a scholarship to the University of Florida College of Architecture. Over $25,000 dollars has been donated into an endowment that provides a perpetual scholarship to architecture graduate students. AIA national matches our donation to double the amount received by the college each year. Joe is one of the chapter's founding members of the scholarship tournament, and has continued to provide outstanding leadership in his "labor of love" for the tournament (and for golf, of course). Without his tireless efforts, this tournament would not be the success it is year after year.
Joe Garcia AIA (on right) chats with several players awaiting tee off of the 25th annual AIA Gainesville's Scholarship Golf Tournament held on April 17th at the Haile Plantation Golf and Country Club in Gainesville. Over 75 players participated this year making it one of the largest turnouts ever.

The Florida Foundation for Architecture is sponsoring a program to address the issue of school population growth through the creation of a series of modular classrooms called the “Sunshine State Modular Classrooms”.The design competition is focused on AIA Florida emerging professionals. Emerging professionals are defined as architecture students attending any of the Schools of Architecture in the state, AIA Associate members, and AIA Architect members licensed less than 10 years.
The Competition is aimed at fostering research associated with the design of modular classroom units that can serve K through 12 student populations throughout the state of Florida. Solutions are being sought to address the design parameters of affordability, sustainability and structural durability within the Florida context. The design shall also address the “fluctuations in district populations” by providing a “modular” design solution which can be pre-manufactured and delivered to a school site and set up within weeks.
All Associate AIA members were emailed this invitation periodically, and the response has been great. The deadline to register is Monday, April 27. Please forward this invitation to emerging professionals in your firm that might be interested in this opportunity. Cash prizes are available for the top three winners!
