OU architecture alumna Breah Page was recently awarded the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Dubin Family Young Architect Award. The AIA is a professional organization for architects that works to improve the architecture industry through education, government advocacy and community outreach.
For the past 40 years, the Young Architect Award has been given to architects aged 25-39 to recognize their excellence and exceptional contributions to the industry. Recipients are selected by the AIA Chicago Foundation Board of Trustees for their outstanding work and dedication to the architecture profession.
Page graduated from Gibbs College of Architecture in 2010, with a bachelor’s degree in architecture and a minor in interior design. After graduation, she moved to Chicago and quickly became known for her work in community development. During her career, Page has developed projects for a variety of notable clients, including Wrigley Field and North Park University Hanson Hall School of Music.
Page currently works for LBBA, a Chicago-based architectural firm, as the Senior Project Architect. In addition, Page is an active member of several architectural organizations, including the ACE Mentor Program, Chicago Women in Architecture and the Bridge and Wing mentorship programs. She has also participated in the Chicago Architecture Center Newhouse Design Competition and the 2022 AIA Conference on Architecture.
Next Thursday, April 20, Page will attend the AIA Third Thursdays: Bookends event to celebrate her award and discuss her innovative work and career pathways. Learn more about Page and her AIA award.
