APCOI Journal
The Architectural Practice Community of Interest publishes a Journal twice a year. Once prior to JETC and once prior to SBC. The purpose of the Journal is to provide a forum to share APCOI events, mentoring and growth opportunities for architects, technical content focused on solutions for federal facilities, and inspiration for the members of SAME and beyond. We hope you enjoy the journal and encourage you to submit content by contacting the editor.
The mission of the Architectural Practice Committee is to promote architectural practice within SAME, broaden the organization’s exposure in the architectural community, increase the role of architecture within military/federal facilities, and recruit more architects, along with expanding networking and mentoring opportunities.

Journey to SAME Fellow Webinar
No two careers are the same and our paths may twist and turn as we carry our passions towards out goals. However, those detours don’t need to come at the expense of our long-term goals and achievements! In fact, they may be some of the most rewarding and challenging experiences. Thinking through and making a game plan during these seasons to make sure our long-term goals stay on track is incredibly important if we want to meet those goals. -
