AIAMB Stanton Award

The purpose of the Stanton Award is to recognize a significant contribution to the profession of Architecture on the Central Coast of California. The award recognizes architects and other professional or individuals who have contributed to the profession of architecture, such as historic preservation, professional development and community involvement.  The award selection is made by a committee of architect-members of AIA Monterey Bay only when it is deemed warranted by the AIAMB committee.

The Robert Stanton Award Fund is a gift from Virginia Young Stanton to the Community Foundation of Monterey County through an endowment. The income is to be used by AIA Monterey Bay in selecting, preparing and presenting the Robert Stanton Award to recognizing outstanding contributions of a chapter member.

The 2020 Stanton Award recipient is Wesley L. Hessler, AIA. Please join us in celebrating his life’s works by attending the Staton Award dinner at Tehama Club House on Thursday, July 22, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. Click here to purchase your tickets.
