AIA Award recognizes CCPL for choosing Cleveland firms to execute
its facilities master plan Parma, OH – November 4, 2019 – The
American Institute of Architects (AIA) Cleveland chapter announced
Cuyahoga County Public Library (CCPL) as the recipient of its 2019
Client of the Year Award. The award honors clients who consistently
support Cleveland architects and architecture. CCPL was selected for
choosing to work with Cleveland architecture firms in the execution
of its facilities master plan, the most significant building
improvement program in the Library's history. CCPL was honored at
the annual AIA Cleveland Design Awards ceremony held at the Hilton
Downtown Cleveland Hotel on November 1, 2019.
Adopted by the CCPL Board of Trustees in June 2010, the $110 million
CCPL facilities master plan was one of the most significant
investments in new work by local architects made by any public
entity in Northeast Ohio over the past decade. CCPL completed 10
building replacement projects and 14 renovation projects. CCPL is
continuing to work with local firms to design new branches in Bay
Village and Richmond Heights.
"It is very important to us to hire local contractors, architects
and construction management firms to execute our building
replacement and renovation projects," said CCPL Executive Director
Tracy Strobel. "We want to keep tax dollars circulating within our
local economy. Working with local architects helps us ensure that
our projects offer something unique to each community. As fellow
Northeast Ohio residents they understand the unique characteristics
of each community we serve and reflect those characteristics in the
design of our buildings."
Based in Washington, D.C., the AIA has been the leading professional
membership association for licensed architects, emerging
professionals and allied partners since 1857. With nearly 300 state
and local chapters, the AIA serves as the voice of the architecture
profession. For information about the AIA Cleveland chapter, visit
