AIA East Tennessee Committee on the Environment (COTE®) is a committee for working architects, allied professionals, and the public to achieve climate action and climate justice through design. We believe that design excellence is the foundation of a healthy, sustainable, and equitable future. Our work promotes design strategies that empower all AIA members to realize the best social and environmental outcomes with the clients and the communities they serve.

We meet once a month on the 4th Thursday of the month. We meet at different firms throughout Knoxville each month, but always offer the meeting digitally via ZOOM. If you would like to join this committee, please reach out to Cameron Bolin at [email protected].
