Ludmilla Pavlova-Gillham, senior campus planner and architect, is one of 96 member-architects and two non-member-architects recently elevated by The American Institute of Architects (AIA) to its College of Fellows.

Fellows are selected by a seven-member jury, and only 3% of the AIA members receive the distinction.

Prospective candidates must have at least 10 years of AIA architect membership and demonstrated influence in at least one of the following areas:

•    Promoted the aesthetic, scientific and practical efficiency of the profession. 

•    Advanced the science and art of planning and building by advancing the standards of practice. 

•    Coordinated the building industry and the profession of architecture. 

•    Ensured the advancement of the living standards of people through their improved environment. 

•    Made the profession of ever-increasing service to society. 

•    Advanced the science and art of planning and building by advancing the standards of architectural education and training.

Pavlova-Gillham and the other new fellows will be honored at the AIA Awards Gala on June 7, at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C.
