2007 AIA Triangle Design Awards
AIA Triangle received 65 project entries in this year’s Design Awards program. The submittals represented work from architectural firms throughout the Triangle region. These projects varied in scope from a large institutional mental health campus to the detailing of a stair. As always, the range of styles vary - from ultra modern to more traditional- highlighting the diversity and talents of the architectural expressions that are created within our area. The one common thread throughout all the projects is the high quality of the work presented for the jury’s review. This year’s awards were presented to the winners at an Awards Reception held at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University in Durham on April 10, 2007.

2007 Isosceles Award
 2007 AIA Triangle Isosceles Award - Jim Goodmon, Capitol Broadcasting Company
Each year the Isosceles Award is given to an individual, association or company who, in collaboration with AIA Triangle members, have made significant contributions to the improvement of the built environment or the architectural profession.
It is with great pleasure that the AIA Triangle Design Awards Committee presents the 2007 Isosceles Award to Jim Goodmon, President and CEO of Capitol Broadcasting Company.
Capitol Broadcasting is a privately owned company, which owns and operates more than a dozen news and media organizations throughout North Carolina. Under Jim Goodmon’s leadership, CBC has become a local pioneer in communication and broadcast technology. WRAL-TV in Raleigh broadcast the first digital and high definition signals in the country and was the first to convert its local news operation to high definition. These achievements have won Goodmon a place in the North Carolina Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame and a name in the University of North Carolina Journalism Hall of Fame.
However, Jim Goodmon is not only a visionary in the realm of journalism, but in the Triangle community as well. He has received numerous awards for his support and involvement in local projects, including the News and Observer “Tarheel of the Year Award” in 2003 and the state’s highest honor, the North Carolina Award.
One of his largest and most significant accomplishments within the Triangle community is the rehabilitation of the American Tobacco Campus in downtown Durham. Local architect, Phil Kiester, who nominated Goodmon for the Isosceles Award describes American Tobacco as “creating the type of ground swell that was required to get the Durham renaissance underway. It is a significant project that is of a national scale. It was complex and required a true commitment, but Jim was up to the challenge. He put his resources to work for the betterment of the built environment and for the history of Durham.”
Thanks to his vision, American Tobacco has become a landmark project both for Durham and for the Triangle. It is for this dedication of time and resources and commitment to our community that the AIA Triangle is proud to honor Jim Goodmon with the 2007 Isosceles Award.
