COVID-19 Resources For Architects
Fiona Mckay
AIA UK aims to support our members as we move through this challenging period. As well as continuing to offer virtual events and learning opportunities, we are committed to giving you access to useful resources for these uncertain times.
AIA Resources
As part of its response to COVID-19, AIA is providing a range of guidelines, policies, and tools for our members. These are regularly updated, and range from business and legal insights to special offers and discounts.
New AIA membership incentives are available - new graduates can get free membership for up to 18 months, and the option for paying dues in installments has been extended to June 30th.
Architects Benevolent Society
ABS is dedicated to supporting architecture professionals and their families in difficult times. Support ranges from confidential advice to financial assistance; through their partnerships, they also offer mental health support and legal guidance.
