Benner elevated to prestigious AIA College of Fellows

Rick Benner, director of Facilities Development and Capital Budget at Western Washington University, is among 147 American Institute of Architects members elevated to the AIA College of Fellows.

The program was developed to elevate those architects who have made a significant contribution to architecture and society and who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession. Election to fellowship not only recognizes the achievements of architects as individuals, but also their significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level.

Out of a total AIA membership of over 85,000 there are over 3,200 members distinguished with this honor.
