Chris Dawson Architect (CDA) was recognized with a State Design Award for our Amber Road Trekking Cabins design.

Chris was honored and thoroughly enjoyed serving as the jury chair for AIA New York State’s 2019 Design Awards program with fellow jurors, Peter Bohlin, FAIA, Joe Biondo, FAIA, and interior designer Jen Zaborney.

5 of the 7 AIA volunteers work(ed) for CDA and donated time equal to $37,000 to the New Cumberland Revitalization effort via AIA Pennsylvania’s Design for Better pilot project including current staff; Chris Dawson, Sara Sweeney, & Jim White. We coordinated the design workshops, provided graphic documentation, developed design concepts, and presented the ideas to the broader community over a period of 6 months.
