CRANBURY The New Jersey chapter of the American Institute of Architects held its annual Awards Dinner Jan. 9, presenting Service Awards to three KSS Architects, LLP. designers in recognition of their individual accomplishments that have provided distinguished service to the profession and to the Society, according to a press release.
Cranbury resident Merilee Meacock, a partner, was named AIA NJ Architect of the Year, reflecting her many professional, technical and personal achievements.
As a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University, Ms. Meacock earned her Bachelor of Architecture in 1990, and has since practiced with KSS Architects.
She was named a partner in 2010, and currently oversees one third of the firms work concentrated in the fields of education, special needs, community, housing, urban revitalization, and master planning, the release said.
Within KSS, Ms. Meacock is the partner in charge of marketing, leading efforts in firm identity and market development, and managing communications across multiple media.
As the first woman to be named Architect of the Year in 16 years, Ms. Meacock takes equal pride in her personal accomplishments, according to the release.
Forging ahead in the gender-skewed profession of architecture, she manages to be a single mom to three boys and the family dog, and takes on the roles of habitual DIY Aficionado and Cub Scout Leader, the release said.

"Merilee is a valued member of our zoning board and were thankful she stepped up this year to chair the (it)," Mayor Jay Taylor said Wednesday. "We have always recognized Merilees experience and expertise and I am very happy to see her peers recognize her talents. As a resident, it is comforting to know that key zoning issues which greatly impact the town are being reviewed by someone recognized as a leader in her field."
According to the release, Ms. Meacocks overriding strength is her entrepreneurial drive to identify opportunity to serve her community, her firm and her clients through her passion and mastery of architecture.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has issued the following statement after President Barack Obama delivered his State of the Union address calling for a 21st century infrastructure plan.
"Landscape architects have long provided critical infrastructure, including transportation options that meet the needs of all Americans. They design multi-use transportation corridors that accommodate all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, people with disabilities and people who use public transportation. These multi-use transportation systems reduce reliance on a single-use automotive transport, which in turn reduces traffic, improves air quality and promotes a resilient way of life.
"ASLA continues to defend federal programs important to landscape architects, including the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) and key federal policies for Complete Streets. The Society understands that resilient design will help address trends affecting our nation's transportation systemsincluding rapid population growth in the South and West, and the need to replace aging roads and other infrastructure in the East and Midwestas outlined in the forthcoming 30-year transportation framework developed by the U.S. Department of Transportation. We will continue to address these challenges in conversations with all who will shape our future infrastructure.
"We urge our policymakers to support a transportation infrastructure bill that will work for all Americans and help communities plan for growth and change."
About the American Society of Landscape Architects
Founded in 1899, ASLA is the national professional association for landscape architects, representing more than 15,000 members in 49 professional chapters and 72 student chapters. Members of the Society use "ASLA" after their names to denote membership and their commitment to the highest ethical standards of the profession. Landscape architects lead the stewardship, planning, and design of our built and natural environments; the Society's mission is to advance landscape architecture through advocacy, communication, education, and fellowship.

More than eight per cent of the Wellington region's shop space is vacant, Bayleys real estate research has revealed.
It reports a wide disparity in vacancy rates with lower levels in prime locations but the overall rate has risen from 6.5 per cent to 8.2 per cent since 2013.
Bayleys also reported a growing influence of internet shopping, growth in hospitality and service retailers and a decline in traditional retailing.
However, bulk retailing is set to grow with a proposed expansion of Wellington Airport's retail park in Rongotai and new development in west Petone.
A-grade retail property fared best with a vacancy rate of 5.3 per cent, while vacancies in B and C grade retail properties sat at 9.8 and 10.5 per cent.
The retail mix continues to be dominated by cafes, restaurants and takeaways along with clothing retailers.
Research analyst Ian Little said it was noticeable that service retail occupiers were increasing their share of space.
"Hairdressers and beauty salons are on the increase and becoming quite prolific in main retail centres."
There was a strong demand for specialist destination type retail properties but tenants were waiting until properties that met all their requirements came up.
Bayleys reported an unexpected rise in vacancies in the CBD's Lambton Quay premier retail precinct with the rate rising from 3.7 per cent in 2013 to 12.5 per cent in 2014. The increase was largely the result of earthquake damage and strengthening, and the completion of fit outs which brought premises back into the rental pool.

Half a century ago, the shuttered Tucson Citizen newspaper featured a photo of Spencer and Steven Smith, two of the newest kids on the block, fresh from Nebraska.
The boys were pulling weeds, cleaning yards and delivering newspapers as they found ways to earn a few bucks in their new desert home.
Over the next several decades, the brothers moved on to even bigger projects building and remodeling homes. They built homes for themselves and a home for their parents, and teamed up for other construction projects in Tucson.
The Smith brothers are at it again, putting finishing touches on a new home they are building for Spencer and his wife, Katheryn Smith. It is likely the last home the brothers, now in their 60s, will build together.
Its probably the time we see each other the most, Steve said of building homes together.
Its just fun, Spencer said. It gives you a lot of satisfaction. Every stage of it is just fun.
There are plenty of grins recalling a recent day that Steve, 65, operated a backhoe and Spencer, 67, was on shovel-and-hose duty, keeping the dust down.
Its almost like being a kid again an adult sand box, Spencer said.
After having worked on other projects together, the brothers in 1991 built Spencer and Kathys first home, before children entered the picture.
The kids Graham, 21, and Hannah, 20 are now in college, and it was time to downsize. Working with Long Realtys Sue Hill, who sold them the lot for the home they built in 1991, the Smiths in the fall of 2013 located a pristine 1.3 acre lot in the Catalina Foothills.
