Hawtin, FAIA B ruce started his own office in 1971 in Jackson, Wyoming, following work experience that took him to the District of Colombia and overseas to Denmark. He completed twelve years as a member of the State Board of Architects and Land- scape Architects, serving as president for five years. He is a past president of the Wyoming Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and was made a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects in 1998. He has won four recent AIA Merit Awards for projects completed at Hawtin Jorgensen Architects. Bruce has served on several nonprofit boards, including being elect- ed to four terms as a trustee at St. John’s Medical Center. Bruce currently serves as Vice President on the Board of Directors for both the Latino Resource Center and Habitat for Humanity. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Oklahoma. Bruce feels more connected to the valley than anywhere else he has been; 43 years of living in a place will do that. This sense of belonging translates to his relationship with clients as well. He takes tremendous pride in the projects that his firm has complet- ed, feeling that each one has made a positive contribution to the fabric of the Jackson Hole community. “At our firm, we take the time to have detailed discussions and develop a well-thought-out plan before we ever embark on a project. Getting to know the client is the key element of developing a successful building.” With strong roots in the community, Bruce and his wife often go for hikes in Grand Teton National Park and treasure the AIA Wyoming College of Fellows The AIA College of Fellows seeks to stimulate a sharing of interests among Fellows, promote the purposes of the Institute, advance the profession of architecture, mentor young architects, and be of ever-increasing service to society. The College of Fellows, founded in 1952, is composed of mem- bers of the Institute who are elected to Fellowship by a jury of their peers. Fellowship is one of the highest honors the AIA can bestow upon a member. Elevation to Fellowship not only recog- nizes the achievements of the architect as an individual but also elevates before the public and the profession those architects who have made significant contributions to architecture and to society.
