About the AIA National Healthcare Design
Awards
The AIA Academy of Architecture for Health is proud to announce the
initiation of the AIA National Healthcare Design Awards
program. There are presently only two annual AIA/AAH-endorsed
healthcare awards programs: the new AIA National Healthcare
Design Awards and the longstanding Vista Awards (a joint effort
with AHA/ASHE).
The AIA National Healthcare Design Awards program will showcase the
best of healthcare building design and healthcare design-oriented
research. Projects should exhibit conceptual strength and solve
aesthetic, civic, urban, and social concerns as well as the
requisite functional and sustainability concerns of a healthcare
facility. The AIA/AAH will recognize the firms for their
contribution to the healthcare environment.

Research
The Innovations in Planning, Research and Design category is
intended to recognize outstanding design and/or functional planning
components of a design or research project that demonstrate a
unique and innovative design solution. As such, the submission may
be a built or unbuilt project or a particularly innovative area
within a project. It may also be a research project or study that
can illustrate an innovative approach to planning and design.

advancing healthcare design concepts
Eligibility
1. Because this is a program that will evaluate modern trends in
healthcare design, projects submitted must have
been completed after January 1,
2003.
2. Projects not selected for an award may be re-submitted in future
years’ competitions, as long as they meet the submission
requirements that apply at the time the re-submission is made.
Projects that have received a National AIA Healthcare Design Award
are not eligible for resubmission.
3. Projects may be located anywhere in the world, but must have
been designed by an architect licensed by a jurisdiction in the
United States (including any state, any U.S. territory or
possession, and the District of Columbia) at the time of the
project's completion. "Completion" is synonymous with "substantial
completion" as defined in the standard AIA Contract Documents
governing construction.
4. The submitting architect may qualify as a member of a design
team, whether or not serving as the head of the team. When one
architect is not the sole author, all other participants
contributing substantially to the design of the project must be
given credit as part of the submission, regardless of professional
discipline. In the event that a project with multiple participants
is selected to receive an award, the AIA reserves the right in its
sole discretion to determine how credit for the project is to be
shown for purposes of the award.
5. For multiple building projects, the architect submitting the
project (or any portion thereof) shall offer detailed evidence of
authorship of each portion of the project.
6. Any project that credits any 2008 National AIA Healthcare Design
Awards jury member (see this year’s list below) or his or her
firm as architect, associate architect, consultant, or client is
ineligible and will be disqualified if submitted. A project may
also be disqualified if a juror’s relationship to that project
may create a conflict of interest as to his/her duties as a juror,
or if the conferral of an award as to that project might give an
appearance of impropriety.
7. Communication with 2008 National AIA Healthcare Design Awards
jurors by the entrants or anyone speaking on their behalf
concerning a submitted project is inappropriate. All architects of
projects receiving awards will be required to verify that neither
they no anyone speaking on their behalf had any written or or other
communication with any 2008 National AIA Healthcare Design Awards
juror regarding any submitted project from the time of submittal to
completion of the jury process.
The satisfaction of eligibility requirements does not ensure that
any particular entry will receive an award. Eligible entries will
be judged in accordance with the criteria stated in this call for
entries, and selection of award recipients will be the decision of
the American Institute of Architects in its sole discretion.
Decisions hereunder shall be final, and not subject to
appeal.
Intellectual Property Rights
Each entry receiving an award will become the property of the AIA
and will be retained in the collections of the AIA Library and
Archives (and/or such other location(s) as the AIA may choose). The
entrant in each such case will grant and assign to the AIA the
right to print, publish, reproduce, crop or resize, or distribute
his/her entry as submitted (including any text, brochures,
drawings, photographs, graphics, plans, slides, books,
transparencies or other copyrightable material) in all means of
expression by any method now known or hereafter developed,
including electronic format and in publications produced or
associated with the AIA.
The AIA will be under no obligation to return any materials
submitted by entrants in connection with this awards program,
whether or not their entries are selected for an award.
General Submission Guidelines
1. Projects shall be submitted via the online entry process
available begining Monday, April 7, 2008. Submitters may
preview the entry data requirements here. The preview is intended for information
and planning purposes only. It is meant to help guide the
collection of narratives and data that is to be submitted online.
This document is not a substitute for the online submittal. Entries
received outside of the online entry process will not be
considered.
2. Project authorship will remain concealed throughout the
deliberations of the jury. If the authorship is revealed on any of
the images, plans, or narrative, the entry will be disqualified.
However, project identity and location are acceptable.
3. An entry fee must accompany each submission. The entry fee is
$300.00 per project for AIA members, and $325.00 for
nonmembers.
4. Entry fees and entries must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on Monday, May 19. The submission deadline date will
be strictly observed; no exceptions will be made. No entry fee will
be returned for any entry that satisfies eligibility requirements,
is incomplete (online), or which is disqualified for failure to
satisfy requirements stated herein.
5. Rights to photos, digital images, and plans must be cleared for
publication by the entrant. Entrants are responsible for any
royalties or copyright photography fees. Before entering, entrants
must have the owner's approval to submit the project. Owners must
be informed of potential site visits and the significant
recognition in the media should the project receive an award.

College of Healthcare Architects (ACHA)
2. Research / Planning & Design Awards

Any project that credits any 2008 National AIA Healthcare
Design Awards jury member or his or her firm as architect,
associate architect, consultant, or client is ineligible and will
be disqualified if submitted. A project may also be disqualified if
a juror’s relationship to that project may create a conflict
