QA+M Architecture is proud to announce that two talented team members were honored at the AIA Connecticut Awards, a prestigious event recognizing outstanding contributions to architecture and design.

Principal Julia McFadden, AIA, ALEP, WELL AP received the Women in Architecture Award, which celebrates licensed women architects who demonstrate exceptional design skills, advocate for equitable and sustainable practices, and positively impact the profession. Julia’s leadership and commitment to creating spaces that foster education and creativity have made her a respected voice in the industry.

Associate Lori Donadio, AIA, NCARB was recognized for her remarkable work on the Southern Connecticut State University School of Business project. The project earned awards in two categories; “Architecture: The Encompassing Art” and “Sustainable Architecture”. These honors highlight her ability to blend aesthetic excellence with environmental responsibility, creating spaces that serve both people and the planet.

At QA+M Architecture, we believe that great design is more than the creation of a building, it’s about shaping communities and fostering innovation through architectural design. Julia and Lori exemplify these values through their dedication and creativity.

Their achievements at the AIA Connecticut Awards reflect not only their individual talents but also the collaborative spirit that defines our firm. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Julia and Lori for these well-deserved recognitions. Their work continues to inspire our team and set new standards for architectural excellence!
