Authored by Quinn Evans principal and director of sustainability Julia Siple, the article provides an overview of our research project.
Glazed interior walls at McKinley Middle School allow daylight to reach the corridors, which saves energy and promotes circadian health.

The latest issue of the American Institute of Architects’ (AIA’s) magazine AIA College of Fellows Quarterly includes an article about our research on daylighting for circadian health.

Authored by Quinn Evans principal and director of sustainability Julia Siple, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, WELL AP, who spearheaded the research project in collaboration with academics from the University of Oregon, the article provides an overview of the presentation that inspired the project, the support we received from the AIA Upjohn Research Initiative, and our findings.

AIA College of Fellows Quarterly is dedicated to exploring and communicating the activities and goals of the College of Fellows—AIA members who have been recognized by a jury of their peers for their individual achievements as well as their contributions to architecture and society. Quinn Evans currently counts seven AIA Fellows among our team members: Alyson Steele, FAIA, LEED AP; Anath Ranon, FAIA, LEED AP BD+C; Leora Mirvish, FAIA, LEED AP BD+C; Ryan McEnroe, FAIA, ASLA, LEED AP, CDT; Saundra Little, FAIA, LEED AP; Steven Spurlock, FAIA, LEED AP; and Tom Jester, FAIA, FAPT, LEED AP.
