Welcome to 2025! The COTE Network team kicked off the year with the Q1 call where local COTE groups continued to share highlights and progress from last year. The event was followed by office hours with a rich discussion about the common app and the new community Hub.
The COTE Network continued to share updates on the transition from Basecamp to a COTE Network Community Hub. The community hub will be hosted on the AIA’s website as part of the AIA’s comprehensive communication strategy for Knowledge Communities. The previously used basecamp platform will be phased out and unavailable within the next couple of months for the Cote Network. Please see the resources below for additional information! If you're looking to be added to the community hub, please fill out the form here.
The 2025 Common App for Design Excellence is now available and can also be found on the COTE network community hub. Additionally, there are new resources available, including a video tutorial explaining the Energy section, to help enhance project inputs.
The COTE network was also happy to share that the updated COTE network guide is now available! This comes with updated resources and information to help your local COTE team! Additionally, the Network is looking for COTE Local groups to feature in the 2026 edition. If you would like your COTE group to be featured, please reach out to our team.
Remember to fill out the Q4 Cote Network survey. The link to the survey can still be found here. Results will be shared next year in 2025!
