Acoustics First: Sound Design as More Than an Afterthought
Construction Specifier
See publicationAcoustics has an ever-increasing influence on modern commercial construction. There are guidelines stating how loud classrooms should be, how much noise workers can be exposed to, and even the level of privacy needed in sensitive spaces.

Evan Troxel AIA
See publicationYou’ve already done the hard part—you got your degree in architecture. Now it’s time to get your license so you can level-up in your career by becoming an architect.
But your excuses are holding you back. You have a busy life, you’re working long hours building your career, and on top of that you might even have a family. Everything is competing for your time and attention and you don’t have any more to give. How do you dedicate yourself to something that takes so much time and effort…You’ve already done the hard part—you got your degree in architecture. Now it’s time to get your license so you can level-up in your career by becoming an architect.
But your excuses are holding you back. You have a busy life, you’re working long hours building your career, and on top of that you might even have a family. Everything is competing for your time and attention and you don’t have any more to give. How do you dedicate yourself to something that takes so much time and effort to accomplish? The answer isn’t simply more coffee.
In ARE Hacks, Evan shares how to create the space in your life that is needed to finish what you started. He decided to silence the voices in his head that kept nagging him to get licensed fifteen years after graduating. In every way imaginable, he had a busy and full life. The good news is that he did it, and now he’s sharing everything you need to know to get your license—his tips and tricks, his strategies, and all the things people don’t talk about that are involved with passing the Architect Registration Exam.
We need more great architects. Use this guide to create a master plan for success, get your license, and become one. Choose yourself first, then help change the world.

The national design-build awards are presented to the highest-rated projects in each category and are the most prestigious project awards presented by DBIA. The Leonard Library was honored in the Rehabilitation/Renovation/Restoration category.
The Leonard Library is a tribute to the teamwork of all the stakeholders who had the vision to go beyond and push the edges of design-build methodology. It’s a standout example of what design-build can achieve when confronted with a complicated program and diverse client goals. The new $103.8 million library renovation and expansion project addressed the need to accommodate a growing student population and restored structural inadequacies while concurrently updating the building’s electrical and telecommunication systems. -
