Additionally, aia.org/docucation visitors can access over 500 frequently asked questions about using AIA documents, guides – available as free downloads – on methods in design and construction projects, and register for in-person events and audience-centered and dialogue friendly workshops and discussions groups.

Led by experts in their fields, current courses offerings include:

  • Sustainable Design and Construction: Identifying, Understanding, and Addressing, the Key Issues
  • An overview of the recently released green model building code, the International Green Construction Code (IcCC)
  • New federal regulations on implementation of the ADA guidelines and the relevant issues facing accessible design
  • Owner/Contractor Agreements and Choosing the Right One for A Project
  • Payment Applications and Change Orders
