The 2016 AIA Architecture Tour will take place on Saturday, April 16 from noon - 5:00 p.m.  This year's tour locations are now posted on the AIACOC web site

We are looking for volunteers to help staff the tour locations.  Volunteers help guide guests through the house and help maintain order throughout the tour.  It's super easy and a chance to promote great design and meet new people.  

Volunteers receive a free ticket to the tour so they can tour opposite their shift.
