The 2015 AIAri Design Awards winners were announced on Thursday, December 3, 2015 at the Providence Public Library during the Annual Design Awards Celbration.

The chapter also awarded its prestigious Archistar Award, which recognizes exceptional individual contributions to architecture by non-architects.

Melissa Arrighi, Town Manager for the Town of Plymouth, MA, was awarded the 2015 Archistar Award as the driving force behind the project involving the restoration of an historic 1820 Courthouse building and design of a large new Town Hall attached to the Courhouse that  will be moved to the center of the historic town where it will have the best possible impact.

The annual competition celebrates outstanding works of architecture from Rhode Island architects and honors the project teams and clients who work with them.
