Detroit, MI, June 10, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The American Institute of Architects Michigan (AIA Michigan, www.aiami.com) honored Grand Rapids architect Ralph W. Moxley, AIA, REFP, LEED AP+ for its Robert Hastings Award.
The Hastings Award is given for “significant contributions to the profession” and requires that a specific effort be identified.
The Recognitions Committee recognized Moxley for his leadership in planning and executing the annual Education Facilities Conference. This successful event, now in its 18th year, has attracted hundreds of architects and educators from around the state. Additionally, Moxley has designed 16 Habitat for Humanity homes, five of which were built in one week by AIA’s Grand Valley chapter, including one in which they funded. Over the years, Moxley has designed or built 43 Habitat homes.

He has been heavily involved in the design and budgeting of various Michigan school projects for the past 35 years. His expertise in the applications for Michigan School Bond Loan Funds, project budgeting, bond studies and programming of educational facilities, pre-school facilities and bond election strategies has been critical in the success of many Michigan educational projects. He currently is active in organizing and leading the Sustainable Design Group at the Grand Rapids office of URS.
