TRC Survey

Dear AIA St. Louis member:

We would greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey specific to The Resource Center (TRC) @ AIA St. Louis. As we navigate the post-pandemic business landscape we are continuing to redefine our operational processes to ensure AIA St. Louis membership, partners, vendors, and the community recieve value-added services aligned with our mission and strategic goals in an economically feasible manner.

About The Resource Center:

Currently, The Resource Center (TRC) @ AIA St. Louis serves as space for industry collaborations to occur. The space currently houses over 140 vendors (local, regional, national) with product lines and their sample materials specific to architecture and the built environment in shelf displays. Architects can utilize the space with their teams and customers with the opportunity to experience sample materials in real time. The space also allows for community and industry collaborations, meetings and co-working with a modular set-up and access to video and conferencing equipment with a paid membership. Members can present weekly educational product webinars for CEU credit to the architect profession both in person and virtually. We promote members products through the AIA weekly newsletter and social media with many opportunities to sponsor AIA St. Louis events and meetings providing potential access to over 900 regional architects with the potential to reach more architects through our virtual programs.

The current cost for vendor membership is $618.00. There is also a nominal fee for other nonprofits to utilize the space.
