Stein Architects

American Institute of Architects Offices
East Bay Chapter
Oakland, California

The East Bay Chapter of the American Institute of Architects moved from their 14th Street storefront to new spaces in Oakland’s City Center.  A Request for Qualifications was put out to all chapter members and Stein Architects was selected to undertake the design of the chapter’s new offices.

The 2,700-square-foot space was programmed and designed to provide a meeting space for over 125 members at one time.  A separate, small meeting space for the chapter’s executive committee was placed between the executive director’s office and the large meeting space.  Banquet and kitchen facilities were designed to facilitate these meetings.  Support staff and storage areas were provided.
