Thanks for the opportunity to offer comments about Roger Strout. I’ll share some specific thoughts below, but the short of it is that Roger was a Gentleman to All, and in many ways, a hero and a legend for me.

Designing a space for a rural healthcare provider can present a very different set of concerns and priorities than designing a similar program for a hospital in an urban setting. Many healthcare facilities in Wyoming qualify as rural providers — facing the persistent challenges of low patient volume, patient and payer mixes, and geographic isolation. These challenges, among others, demand a different design approach from their urban and suburban counterparts.

AIA Wyoming recently sat down with architect Tim Belton from the firm Malone, Belton and Able. Getting to know a bit about him was informative and insightful, and we appreciate him sharing a brief part of himself with us.

In 1997, AIA Wyoming established the Architectural Education Foundation of AIA Wyoming (AEF-AIAWy) to assist Wyoming students in obtaining an architectural education at National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) accredited architecture schools. The AEF-AIAWy is a 501(c)(3) non-profit administered by the board of directors and volunteer members of AIA Wyoming. Multiple scholarships are typically awarded each year to deserving Wyoming residents or Wyoming high school graduates.

What began as a rough-and-ready study model crafted from cut-up pieces of a furniture catalog has transformed into an evocative public artwork in Jackson, which is now getting a second life in Montana. Town Enclosure by CLB Architects is an open-air, circular array of 22, 14-foot-tall cross-laminated timber panels that spent three years installed on the Center for the Arts’ front lawn. Now, the artwork has been relocated to Bozeman, where it will begin a new chapter in its unexpectedly dynamic life of community engagement.

The AIA Wyoming Annual Fall Conference returned to Jackson Sept. 16-18, 2021. The conference was themed “Proximity” and focused on state-of-the-art thinking and solutions. Speakers and exhibitors alike followed this theme throughout the three-day event.

At the beginning of the year, no one would know the progress of COVID-19 or where our members would stand on how comfortable they would be in an in-person environment. Before any planning began for the regular Spring Conference, the board of directors decided to hold spring activities virtually. AIA Wyoming merged the ideas from the regular National Architecture Week activities with our regular Spring Conference, while keeping in mind some new ideas from the Non-dues Revenue Task Force.
