Women in Architecture Exhibition (Thursday, April 16, 2026)

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 22:15:00 GMT

WiA Exhibition - What Is Your Impact?

Join the Women in Architecture Committee of AIA Florida Northwest for an inspiring evening celebrating the powerful influence of women shaping the built environment across our region. On April 16, 2026, from 5:15 PM, we invite you to the Museum of Commerce in Pensacola, Florida (201 E Zaragoza St) for our WIA Exhibition, a showcase dedicated to the voices, stories, and achievements of women in architecture and allied professions.

This year’s exhibition centers on a single, resonant question: What is your impact? Participants are encouraged to reflect on their professional journey, the mark they’ve made on the design community, and the ways their work uplifts others. The exhibition will highlight individuals whose careers demonstrate excellence in design, leadership, practice, and service, celebrating both personal milestones and collective progress.

We look forward to honoring the women whose vision and dedication continue to shape the spaces where our communities live, work, and thrive.

Presented by:

High Performance Gypsum: Protect against Mold, Moisture and Exposure

NGC070

1 LU/HSW

This course focuses on gypsum products manufactured with fiberglass facing which replaces the paper facing typically used on gypsum board. These products are regarded as “high performance” due to their superior weather resistance, superior fire resistance, and superior mold resistance. Five common product types include panels manufactured for 1.) exterior wall sheathing, 2.) shaftliner for cavity walls and area separation walls 3.) potential interior high-moisture conditions, 4.) tile backer boards for wet areas, and 5.) roof coverboards for low slope roof applications. The presentation outlines the high-performance characteristics of fiberglass faced gypsum products. The basic applications, attributes, advantages, and limitations of each of the five common product types are described. By understanding the performance and features of these fiberglass faced gypsum products, the specifications and drawing details can be properly prepared for successful use in buildings.

Review gypsum board manufacturing process including the use of gypsum rock and byproduct gypsum.
Outline the fire-resistant characteristics of gypsum board and review different core types.
Provide an overview of the high-performance characteristics of fiberglass faced gypsum boards related to moisture, mold, fire-resistance, durability and exposure.
