The task force clearly shows the value architects bring to the table during a global crisis; when architects work with those from outside the profession, they can improve the spaces where people live and work.

​

Our team is proud of Tim Boyland's accomplishments with the task force:

 

In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, the AIA New York Unified Task Force City and State was assembled in just 24 hours in response to former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s urgent call for assistance from design professionals. A group of AIA New York and AIA New York State architects worked through the night to identify buildings that could be used to expand bed capacity and alleviate the strain on New York’s overwhelmed hospitals. The team was able to identify more than 1,000 buildings throughout the state that could accommodate extra beds and provide additional medical services, saving countless lives.
